Running and Driving 1953 Chevy 210 2 Door

3 Speed on the column

235 Six Cylinder

Has 3 inch lowering blocks in rear, cut 2 coils up front. Its not quite as low as it looks in the pictures but it is a huge improvement. Rear Spring mounts appear to have been moved at some point then shoddily welded back on and held in place by u bolts. I have never had any problems with this while I have had it, however. A good welder could take care of this in no time.

Brand new hubcaps all around. Tires are fair. Original Spare in trunk.

Plug in your Ipod for tunes. 75 watt amp and new 6x9 speaker in place of the original. Original radio lights up but does not work.

Front seat is nice, rear seat has a covering over it. I took the ratty headliner out. Dash looks nice. Chrome is not perfect. Carpet appears to be an old replacement.

Floors are ok. The front pans have been redone at some point with some thin gauge metal, the trunk floor is the same way.

Car runs good. it has a slight sputter when idling but runs great down the road. It has a pointless petronix ignition system and runs off of an alternator. It uses a little bit of oil and loses a little water but not to any great extent. I put a quart of oil in every now and then and usually top the water off every couple weeks. The choke does not work, it has an aftermarket accelerator pedal and uses a cable instead of the stock linkage, which blocks the choke. 

Theres is a little bit of play in the steering. Everything under there appears to be original so some of it is probably a little sloppy.

Brakes are decent. I went through and honed 2 cylinders and replaced 1. The other one was replaced before I bought the car and doesnt appear to be that old. I accidently bled air back into the lines when I was bleeding them and I just havent wanted to get down and bleed em again. I will fix that this weekend sometime.

Headlights work, dim and bright, tailights and brakelights work. The rear blinkers were working before I disconnected the front to paint the grill. I think they just need to be grounded out. The speedometer makes an awful racket when connected so I disconnected the cable. The dome light works.

Paint is chipping on the hood and around the rear "fins". It looks good from 20 feet away. There is bondo in the trunk and in the rear quarter. There is probably some around the fender wells also, but I do not know the extent. There is rust in the quarter panels. They are ok for a daily driver but in a restoration you would probably want to replace them. There are a few dings on the roof.

Wipers are not hooked up and are missing the arms. I don't know if the "motor" works. 

 I have probably left something out, please feel free to ask if you would like to know anything more or get more pictures. I'm trying to be as honest as possible. There is a lot that needs work, but it is a fun neat car that I drive to town often and is a good start. Im just looking now for a new project.

EDIT: Needs parking brake cable, and igntion switch does not use key. Ignition switch works fine otherwise.

Here are all the EVs with 800V charging available in 2024

Fri, May 31 2024

As technology advances, electric cars are improving their fast-charging times. That means less time spent waiting at a DC public charger when you’re out on the road. While Level 3 chargers used to provide a maximum of 150 kilowatts of power, 350-kW chargers are become more common, making for super-fast charging Â… if your car is capable of taking advantage of it. So how do automakers improve the charging speed of their EV batteries? Some are turning to higher voltage, specifically 800V charging. What's the difference between 800-volt charging and 400-volt charging? So how does 800V charging improve upon the more common 400V EVs? Put simply, the higher the voltage, the less amperage (current) it requires to charge. In other words, with more voltage, you get more wattage (power, aka charge rate) from the same amperage (current). 800V architecture is also more efficient, with less electrical resistance, so it can use thinner cables and smaller, lighter components while needing less cooling. The tradeoff is that it is more costly, and guess who that cost gets passed on to. While automakers don't break down their pricing to show how much more you're paying for that 800V system, you'll just have to evaluate any potential purchases as a whole, and make your decision based on overall pricing of the vehicle. Thankfully, the 800V EVs on sale now are generally ones we like. Now, 800V charging capability doesn't necessarily mean an EV has 800V vehicle architecture. For instance, the GMC Hummer EV and Chevy Silverado EV operate at 400V, but with their dual battery packs, can switch to 800V when charging by temporarily connecting those packs in series. Currently, there are only a handful of EVs available with 800V charging. But if you are going to find yourself taking longer trips in your EV and using DC fast chargers more often, you might want to consider choosing one with this faster charging capability. With that in mind, these are the EVs available with 800V charging, either on sale now or coming in 2024. 800-volt EVs available in 2024 Audi E-Tron GT Chevrolet Silverado EV Genesis GV60 Genesis Electrified G80 Genesis Electrified GV70 GMC Hummer EV Pickup GMC Hummer EV SUV GMC Sierra EV* Hyundai Ioniq 5 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Kia EV6 Kia EV9 Lotus Eletre* Lotus Emeya* Lucid Air Lucid Gravity* Porsche Macan Electric* Porsche Taycan Ram 1500 REV* Tesla Cybertruck *Coming later in 2024 Green Audi Chevrolet Genesis GMC Hyundai Kia Lotus Porsche Tesla Electric Lucid EV charging

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles

Thu, Nov 27 2014

US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.
