Here is my 1957 Chevy Bel Air 2 door hard top project.  It does have an original 57 283 V8 engine block that has been rebuilt to factory specifications.  The numbers on the block are 3731548.  The heads are power pack but not sure of the dates on them.  The engine came with the car and the man I bought it from a couple years ago said it was the original engine.  The intake is a 57 four barrel.  The numbers on it are 3731398.  Some of the web sites say the  numbers on the block are the same as the Fuel Injected 57 Corvette.  The body has ben patched with quarter patch panels on the passenger side.  It needs more work to be smooth.  The drivers side is pretty good.  The floors have been replaced.  The toe panels from the engine compartment show the patch and cutout area.  The trunk needs to be repaired.  The back glass area has rust through at the rubber area.  The front windshield lower corners have been cut and replaced with patch and fiberglassed where there was some rust.  The floor braces are good and original but the body mounts are dried and cracked.  The transmission was a 3 speed manual from the factory but I have replaced it with a 350 turbo automatic that also has been rebuilt.  No seats other than a four door rear seat and a four door front seat and a 1960 Chevy front split back seat. The hood is nice and so is the drivers front fender.  The passenger front fender has a crack at the bottom.  The doors are good and in primer.  There are many parts with this car and several duplicates as I have been buying parts for a couple years for this.  There are many stainless parts that are extras but the buyer can use them to sell or trade for what is needed.  There are about 6 window flippers, 6 rear side glasses and many extra side stainless.  The quarter fender scripts are nice.  There are duplicate headlight buckets.  There are 3 radiators that are not tested and probably need repair.  One is a 57 another is 55 with transmission cooler fittings.  There is a new in the box gas tank and new power brake master cylinder not installed.  New wheel cylinders and brake shoes not installed.  New windshield rubber not installed.  No glass other than some vents and rear side glass.  Does have a rear back window that is used.  This car is sold AS IS totally as a project.  To be paid for within 7 days.  Can be picked up within 30 days.  It has been in the garage for a couple years.  Needs restored.  Title is in my name.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
