1958 Chevrolet Bel Air

Sport Coupe (2-door hardtop)

This is a nice Chevrolet Bel Air 2-door hardtop.  It is powered by a Chevy 350 cu. in. V-8 with an Edelbrock four barrel carburetor and intake manifold.  The transmission is a stock 3 speed manual with column shift; the clutch is good and tight.

The interior is custom brown naugahyde with tan herringbone cloth inserts and the original upholstery trim.  It rides on BF Goodrich TA radials and Cragar wheels.  It is a GREAT driver!  I've drive it from Sequim, Washington on the Olympic Peninsula all the way to Sacramento, California without a bit of trouble, and it was a smooth ride.

I bought this car about eight years ago on eBay - sight unseen.  It was a littler rougher than it looked in the pictures.  Since then, I've done and had a lot of work done over the years to make it as nice as it is now.  Here is a list:

  • The floor pans and trunk had some rust, which I ground down, painted with POR 13 and patched with fiberglasss.  It was not so bad that I considered it necessary to remove and replace with patch panels.
  • I've had some mechanical improvements done including replacing the cam and lifters, replacing both front and rear coil springs, installed rear air-shocks, replaced the gas tank, installed a new electric fuel pump, installed a new heater core and had the heater control valve  rebuilt, and had a new exhaust system with glass pack mufflers installed.  I also installed a new under dash wiring loom and fuse box.
  • With the exception of the upholstery, I have completely gone through the interior including having the dash and interior trim repainted to match the Bronze paint color, replaced all window and door handles, installed new dash trim/bezels/glove box/door threshold, replaced the firewall pad and kick panels, installed a new carpet kit and sound insulation over the floorboards, replaced the trunk mat and panels, and installed a new made to fit AM/FM radio with a split front stereo speaker in the dash which is set up for iPod on the auziliary band.
  • I replaced the wind wing and side door glass and frames, and replaced the rubber windshield and rear window seals.

I've seen two other '58 Chevy Sport Coupes for sale in the last year or so that look just like my car including paint color, tires, and rims; they're both frame-off restorations and the owners were seeking $50,000+/-.  I also saw one recently that is a project car and the owner has a "buy it now" price of $13,850.  My car is very well "buy it now" priced at $16,500.  It is not a high-dollar show car for the following reasons:

  • The exterior paint job looks great from 10+ feet away, but whoever painted it didn't put enough time and energy preparing the car for painting.  The panels are not laser straight and some sanding swirls are noticeable on the trunk lid around the lock.
  • Some of the stainless trim is dented.
  • I failed to replace the front windshield when I had the rubber replaced, and some hazing is noticable around the edges.  Also, I have not been able to find new rear quarter window glass with frames; the frames are pitted.
  • I bought and improved the car to be a good looking "driver".

So, you are bidding on a reasonably priced, good looking, and reliable 1958 Chevy Sport Coupe.  I've had a lot of fun with it, but I have a couple of other toy cars and I'm too busy as a self-employed person to drive all three of them.

If you have questions, I can be reached at (360) 504-2440.  If you have the time and interest, come see the car in Sequim, Washington. Once the auction has ended, the down payment of $1,000 is due through PayPal within 48 hours.  The balance must be received in verified funds, cash or wire transfer, within 7 days and prior to my releasing the vehicle.   The successful bidder can fly into Seattle, Washington and drive this car home!  Shipping is an alternative; I am not offering shipping on this vehicle.  However, I will work with the winning bidder's shipper.  My zip code is 98382 if you want to obtain shipping quotes.

Thank you for looking and Happy Bidding!

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Chevrolet Turbo Sprint

Sun, Feb 6 2022

Fifteen years ago, I wrote my first-ever automotive article under the name Murilee Martin, and it didn't take me long to start writing about one of my favorite automotive subjects: the junkyard. Before I'd refined my system for documenting discarded vehicles, however, I shot a lot of boneyard photos that never got used. For today's Junkyard Gem, I have four shots from early 2007 of one of the rarest turbocharged machines of the 1980s: the Chevrolet Turbo Sprint. The Chevrolet Sprint was really a rebadged Suzuki Cultus, from the pre-Geo era when General Motors sold the Isuzu Gemini as the Chevrolet Spectrum, the Daewoo LeMans as the Pontiac LeMans and the Toyota Corolla as the Chevrolet Nova (soon enough, the Spectrum became a Geo, and the Nova became the Prizm). The second-generation Cultus appeared in 1988, becoming the Geo Metro on our shores the following year. The Turbo Sprint was available for just the last two years of the Sprint's 1985-1988 American sales run, and it appears that just a couple of thousand were sold; if I'd known at the time just how rare they were, I'd have shot more photos of this one at the now-defunct Hayward Pick Your Part. The turbocharged 993cc three-cylinder produced 70 horsepower, 22 better than the naturally-aspirated version. Since the Turbo Sprint weighed just 1,620 pounds (that's about 500 pounds lighter than a barely more powerful '22 Mitsusbishi Mirage), it was plenty of fun to drive. For 1988, the regular Sprint hatchback cost $6,380 while the Turbo Sprint listed at $8,240 (that's about $15,375 and $19,855 today, respectively). Believe it or not, a Turbo Sprint actually raced in the 24 Hours of Lemons 10 years ago, though it didn't end well. This ad is for the regular Cultus, not the Cultus Turbo, but the screaming guitars sound reasonably turbocharged. For the most part, Chevy Sprint marketing was all about cheap purchase price and stingy fuel economy… at a time when gasoline prices were cratering. Related Video:

Take a close look at the guts of the Chevy Volt battery, powertrain

Sat, Aug 9 2014

Just how intimate would you like to get with the powertrain in a Chevy Volt? If you're anything like YouTube user d55guy, then spending a half hour filming yourself taking apart the battery pack, motor, inverter and more for a look inside sounds like your idea of fun. After all, this way you get to see the cooling system, the heavy safety kill switch and count up the individual cells in the battery modules. Fun! Turns out, we also enjoy languidly paced Volt dissection video goodness, and we think you might want to see it as well. So, we've embedded two videos below and if you don't have a better understanding of how the Volt is put together after watching them, well, at least you can't say we never tried to show you anything. Given that what's really happening here is the organized 'destruction' of an expensive and potentially dangerous object, let's talk safety. There's a serious disclaimer at the beginning of the videos and on the YouTube description page, but we feel the need to repeat the gist of it here: do not try this at home. The creator of the video says he is a trained engineer and has been doing things like this "for the better part of a decade," so he apparently knows what he's doing. With that in mind, watch it all below. When you're done seeing the insides of a Volt powertrain up close, if you need more filmed EV dissection/destruction, check out this video designed for first responders approaching a damaged Tesla Model S.
