Read this carefully.....

I know this is not a tri-five... but the reserve is more than half or even less than one of those this this condition! And it is actually more rare!

I have owned this little jewel for several years. It is a real head turner and safe enough that I let my wife drive it when ever she wants without fear of it breaking down even on the interstate and major highways. (Or should I say she lets me drive it when she doesn't want to)... I have won several local shows and cruise night awards and get a lot of comments about the unique color combination. It has the original Honey Dew and Black Onyx factory two-tone color combination and the first picture is of it for the last 20 years or so... it may appear a little more yellow, but the pictures was taken at a different time. (it is honey dew) Then there are some pictures of the car without the bumpers after I blocked and sanded it then gave it a few new coats of acrylic urethane last fall and brought it back to its former shine. I did not repaint the top so it could use a tiny bit of touch up but nothing drastic. The honey dew is 8 out of 10, for as original as it gets for local shows and driver quality. I took off the bumpers and and guards an had them plated this winter and they are ready to reinstall with new hardware... they are a 9.9 out 10 as far as original gets and I have all of the hardware for the bumpers and the new weather seal for the doors and trunk. Bumpers and seals are not installed at this time because I had a total hip replacement this year and I am unable to lay down on my side to put the finishing touches (bumpers and weather strip) back on the car.

The car drive like it should and handles excellent. No vibration, hesitation, and I can cruise down the interstate at 65 mph with no problems. Braking on these old cars leaves a little to be desired so I pump the brakes once just to be sure it brakes straight and stops... of course with the crazy's on the roads today, I drive this car using exta caution. It does not use oil, transmission fluid or brake fluid. The old rear main seal may be seeping a little or could be the valve cover, but is not cause for alarm. This is the first year for the Bel Air so it comes with the 235 (not the 216 babbit beater). This is also the first year for the powerglide behind the 235. For those that don't know, there is no vacuum modulator valve on the old cast iorn 1st generation powerglide which simply means means that you can manually downshift to first for takeoff gear if you need more powr than leaving it in drive (2nd gear) full time. All of the glass is original and excellent! None broken or needing replaced. The car was undercoated 60 years ago when new and that saved the undercarriage, floor pans, trunk pan, and virtually everything underneath from any bad effects that will need attention. The original type tires are in excellent condition and do not need replaced but the white walls yellow sometimes but nothing that tire-white won't make look new again. I could have put radial tires on it but opted to stay orignal bias ply instead. Horn, wipers, heater, amp gauge, fuel gage, vents, etc. all work great. It is a 6 volt system and I replaced the battery a year or so back and it never fails to start. When the car sits for long periods, I simply prime it with a ounce or two of gasoline before hitting the starter button. It has an automatic choke that works great and never fails to start. As my papa would have said, it sound like a singer sewing machine and runs like a swiss watch.

In the beginning I wrote: Read this carefully, here is why... Dont bid if you have no intention of completing the transaction! Don't bid without contacting me first if you have been on eBay less that 1 year or have fewer than a dozen transactions! ( I will cancel your bid) ! Don't hesitate to call me about payment for the car if you intend on bidding... because I will not send you a notarized title and/or bill of sale without payment first. I have been an honest eBayer (100% positive rating) for over 12 years..... I have no intention of ruining my rating or yours!

The weather here in Oklahoma is like have all four seasons in a week... so I will get the car out Monday for some more pictures of the interior, trunk, undercarriage, etc. but for now have a look at those I have posted and give me a call if you need more immediate information. Jack 918 346 3593

Someone correctoy pointed out that this was not the first year for Bel Air... I should have said 1st Serier for Bel Air under the Styleline Deluxe options... If you want to know more about how these first series powerglide transmission worked, just Google or Yahoo search for "first Bel Air" and you can read up on them.

I have already had one person with only 1 eBay purchase bid..... Please read what I said about this in the description and don't bid unless you contact me first.

Finally..... as I memtioned, I will get more Pictures posted Monday... It's been raining cats and dogs here in Tulsa... but Monday should be nice enough to get some interior, undercarriage, trunk and under hood pic's. Thanks for all of the interest!

Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video

Mon, Dec 7 2015

With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.

Sunday Drive: A tale of old favorites and upcoming challengers

Sun, Oct 8 2017

Sedans and crossovers dominated the attention of our readers last week, led by the completely redesigned 2018 Honda Accord. It's the Japanese automaker's flagship, and people are seriously interested in finding out how good the latest Accord is. So interested, in fact, that no other single story came close to the brand-new Accord in Autoblog reader interest. Moving down the list we find the equally new 2018 Buick Enclave. The three-row crossover has a lot to offer a family, especially one looking for a nice, quiet ride. If you're looking for the exact opposite of nice and quiet, but still want enough room for you and your significant others, the Subaru WRX that we tested last week may be the perfect ride for you. Or, if you just want to drive fast and aren't at all worried about space, there's the Camaro SS. See? We offer something for everybody. From there, we look to the future. Who isn't interested in seeing the first fully electric vehicle from Porsche? And who isn't intrigued to see the Mission E testing alongside a gaggle of Teslas? A brand-new Jeep is always a big deal, especially when it's the revival of a classic nameplate like the Grand Wagoneer. And finally, we have something completely different: the Rezvani Tank. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Honda Accord First Drive | Feels like home again 2018 Buick Enclave First Drive Review | Fortress of quietude 2018 Subaru WRX Drivers' Notes | Turbo traditionalist 2018 Chevy Camaro SS Drivers' Notes | Demonstrative power, middling interior Porsche Mission E caught testing against Teslas Jeep three-row SUV caught on public roads — Grand Wagoneer, perhaps?

2016 Chevy Camaro Convertible gets cleaner looks, improved refinement [UPDATE]

Wed, Jun 24 2015

UPDATE: We have live photos from the reveal. Scroll to the bottom of the story and check them out in the Related Gallery. Back in May, Chevrolet introduced a redesigned Camaro. Now, and not at all surprisingly, the Bowtie brand is showing off the latest Camaro convertible, based on the coupe that debuted on Belle Isle in Detroit. From the beltline down, this is the same car that was so well-received last month. But above the waist, there's an all-new, fully automatic canvas roof that can be raised and lowered at speeds up to 30 miles per hour. On top of that, owners will be able to drop the roof remotely by simply pressing a button on the key. Chevy does not, however, say if this new convertible roof is lighter than last year's top. The biggest change for the Camaro convertible, though, is something we've long yearned for – a proper hard tonneau cover that deploys over the folded roof. The current muscle car's roof fabric has the unpleasant tendency to flap in the breeze. The new droptop shouldn't have that problem, and will likely boast an even cleaner top-down profile to boot. Like the hardtop, though, the Camaro convertible does benefit from the same lightweight structure, that helps trim "at least" 200 pounds of body fat. It should also make use of the same powertrain lineup, with a turbocharged four-cylinder, a 3.6-liter V6, and a 6.2-liter V8 with six-speed manuals or eight-speed automatic transmissions spanning the lineup. "From the beginning, the Camaro's architecture was developed to incorporate a convertible with uncompromised driving dynamics," Camaro chief engineer Al Oppenheiser said in the attached release. "Customers will appreciate what they don't feel: quivers, cowl shake or an under-damped chassis typically found in a four-seat convertible." Increased refinement, a cleaner look, better driving dynamics and a more usable convertible roof? We're looking forward to you 2016 Camaro convertible. Chevy claims the new car arrives in "early 2016," which means we should plan on seeing this droptop at the typically cold and snowy Detroit Auto Show. Until then, check out the full press release from Chevrolet.
