This is a nice, low mileage '53 Chevrolet. It only has 63k original miles on it and is in excellent overall condition. The car runs, drives, and looks very good. The body is straight and virtually rust free. All original body panels with nice floors, trunk, frame, rockers, spare tire well etc. This is NO Bondo buggy and the nice body is one of the main reasons I bought it. It has had only one repaint and is still it's orginal color. Paint is older (@ 1980) but still shows/shines very nice with some here and there touched up chips etc. Interior is stock and is nice and clean. To my knowledge, everything on the car works- including lights, turn signals, gauges, wipers, horn, radio, and heater (not sure about the clock). I added a set of (4) new seatbelts with the old style chrome airplane latches. The drivetrain is original to the car and in good working order. The motor is the factory 235 c.i. 6 cyl and the transmission is the original 3 speed manual. It runs and drives excellent. It will get in the mid to upper teens for gas mileage and I drive it quite regularly, probably 3 or 4 times a wk. It always starts right up, runs cool, holds good oil pressure etc. It is dependable enough to be your daily driver if you want. Like I said, I drive it alot and am not afraid to go anywhere in it. Brakes and full exhaust have been re-done not too long ago. All glass is in good shape with no cracks. The windows roll up and down normally and it has a factory Fulton visor. I added a few teeth to the grill, including a gold one. It is sublte and I love the look but it/they are easily removed if not to the new owner's taste. Tires are wide white wall bias plys with probably 80%+ tread left. I bought the car with plans to cut it up into a custom but have decided against the project. I planned to have the top chopped, suspension drastically lowered via modified Mustang II, and to swap the original drivetrain to a tri-power 348 w/ auto transmission. I have been driving the car stock for the last year or so and realized that this one is just too nice to take all apart and cut up. It is too cool like it is. I usually have hot rods that are so drastic they are nearly undriveable, but this one has been fun being able to use it as a normal car. It seats 4 comfortably, doesn't bottom out or scrape therefore you can go anywhere, has a big trunk, doesn't guzzle gas, is dependable and just fun to drive. I am selling to buy a 50-52 Cadillac coupe and basically cut it up... I can answer most any question you have on the car so please don't be shy. The car comes with a clear Ky title in my name with current insurance and registration.

Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.
Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
