I am selling a really nice all stock original Survivor 1962 Chevrolet Belair 4 door sedan. It is light shell beige with a fawn interior. This wonderful classic has only had 2 previous owners. It has not been driven in winter snow or salt conditions. First owner spent summers in Long Island, NY and winters in Florida. He had it until he was 93 years old! Second owner was an old car hobbyist who only drove it in nice weather to various shows, cruise-ins, and for pleasure.
Car is equipped with:
283 V8 with 2bbl carburetor
Powerglide automatic transmission
Power steering
Power brakes
Deluxe heater/defroster
Full wheel covers
Deluxe pushbutton radio
Car is all stock under the hood, interior, in the trunk, and retains about 75% of its original finish! Car is also all original sheet metal, floor pans, etc, and is not scaly underneath. Quarter panels and seams still have their original GM "pinch welds". Body panels are original with no patch panels. Car still has original spare in trunk, and still has all 4 original T-3 headlights! Hard to find all stock and un-molested like this! Car has 80,000 original miles since new 51 years ago!
This Belair rides and drives just great! The 283 engine and Powerglide transmission are strong and smooth at all speeds, no smoking or leaking. Everything works on the car except radio needs a new speaker. I like to make sure all my cars are reliable and ready to use. I recently drove it on a 250 mile round trip to a show with no problems or issues. I would not be afraid to drive this car anywhere!
Much recent maintenance has been done:
Engine tuned up
Carburetor rebuilt
Battery replaced
Exhaust replaced
Shocks replaced
Brakes replaced
Cooling system flushed, water pump replaced, and radiator cleaned
Belts, hoses, and clamps replaced
Heater core replaced
Correct "Tuxedo" carpet replaced
Tires replaced with correct reproduction whitewall BF Goodrich Silvertown tires.
Car is nice and straight, retains 75% of original finish. Paint still holds a nice shine. Has a nice patina. Original chrome and brightwork are all very nice. Nice, neat, and all stock original under the hood. Of course like any used car, let alone one that is 51 years old, there are minor imperfections and also small nicks and door dings. These have been touched up with an artists brush so they won't be a further issue. Car is not dented up, rusted out, and has not been wrecked. Just a nice Survivor that has weathered the years well and stood the test of time. It is a real pleasure to drive, and looks great going down the road. Survivor cars are the up and coming thing in the collector car hobby. Remember, any neglected old car can be restored, but they are only original once! Don't miss this neat example!
ABOUT ME: I am a long time (35 years) hobbyist and collector of nice original "Survivor" cars. I have been in the same location for over 25 years and collect, trade, and fool with nice original cars from the late 1950s to mid 1980s. I keep a "rotating collection" of 6 to 8 such cars. When new arrivals appear, I will sell some to make room. This is the case here.
NO RESERVE! NO RESERVE! NO RESERVE! NO RESERVE! NO RESERVE!
Now for the rules:
1. Your bid is a contract! If you are the successful bidder, you are expected to pay! Please have all contingencies handled and your money in place BEFORE you bid! No retractions will be allowed, so be sure BEFORE you bid! Please read and understand this: ASK QUESTIONS AND GET ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BID.
2. An $1200.00 NON REFUNDABLE partial payment is due within 48 hours of end of auction. This can be by bank wire transfer. Pay Pal is NOT acceptable for this. Balance is due within 7 days of auction's conclusion. This can be by bank wire transfer as well, and is probably the safest method.
3. Please note that car and I am currently at my summer residence. This is in upstate NY, about 1 hour west of Albany, and 1.5 hours east of Syracuse.
4. Vehicle and papers will not leave here until paid in full with cleared funds. If you are paying with ANY kind of check, it must clear MY bank before car or ownership will be released. No exceptions! Please note that with all the fraudulent money orders out there, most banks treat them like personal checks and place a 5 to 7 business day hold on them. Wire transfer is the best method. If you are paying balance on pickup, it must be cash in person. No exceptions.
5. Vehicle is sold strictly as-is at my premisies with no guarantee or warranty of any kind.
6. Transportation is the buyer's responsibility. I will try to reasonably help and accommodate you any way I can, but it still YOUR responsibility.
7. If you cannot pick up immediately, that is fine, it can be left here for a reasonable period. However, it still must be paid for within the 7 days, and you should secure insurance as I cannot be responsible for loss or damage due to circumstances beyond my control or act of God.
8. Please ask and get satisfactory answers to all questions BEFORE YOU BID! Since sold strictly as/is, no warranty or returns, once you bid, you have made a binding contract.
9. Car is advertised locally for sale. If I find a buyer through that venue, I reserve the right to end auction early. Please call me at 704-661-1326 (cell) or 518-835-5058 (landline) with any further questions about this. due to spotty cell service, call both and leave messages at both if no answer.
10. If you have been an Ebay member for less than a year and/or have less than 10 feedbacks, and/or have less than a 95% rating, you MUST contact me BEFORE you bid. Failure to do this may result in my cancelling your bid and blocking you from bidding on my items. I understand that new members can be great customers, but I must talk to you first. Thanks a lot!
Please note, that these are the rules, and are part of the contract when you place a bid. Please as questions BEFORE you bid, if you don't understand something. I am sorry for all the rules, but it seems that 5% of difficult people spoil it for the 95% who are good. Thanks very much for looking! Again, please feel free to call 704-661-1326 cell or 518-835-5058 landline with any questions. Leave message if no answer. Thanks for looking!

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four 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.
2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
