1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Base Sedan 4-door 3.8l on 2040-cars
Enterprise, Alabama, United States
|
Hello. I am not an automobile dealer or collector. This was my father's 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air. He died several years ago and I have had it ever since. Although I keep it insured, I miht drive it 30 miles A YEAR. It has been in a few parades etc. -otherwise it has been under a tarp. I know very little about automobiles, but need to lay on cash. I have twin daughters that begin college in the fall. I have taken a number pictures and welcome and ncourage you to call or come by and take a look. I will be more than happy to answer any questions you have. I must point out that it is SOLD AS IS. PLEASE understand this. I will however answer all questions as best I can and you can have a mechanic come with you or whatever to insure you like what you get. I really do not know how to evaluate its value--but based on what I am seeing on Ebay, i think I have it priced right!. I do not know the engine size. If you know how to instruct me on determining the size, let me know. I do know my dad had a different engine put in it not long before he died. The car runs very smoothly, sounds fine, and has plenty of get up and go. All I have had to do to it is buy new batteries that have run down from lack of use. I do not know of any engine problems. It does not use a lot of water or oil. It does not appear to leak oil, but I know it has not had any new seal for several years. Don't know how that works. The brakes work OK--but they are old disc brakes and I do not like to drive it. I had it painted about 6 or 7 years ago. I had it painted the same colors it has always been. We called this car "ol' Blue". It has very little rust. I noticed a couple of "paint bubbles" on one door panel, but no visible rust. We do NOT live in an area where salt is used, so there is minimal rust to the undercarriage. There is no rust in the trunk. It has original chrome. There is some bent and dented chrome. There is rust on the fenders coming through the chrome. I would think they need rechroming. The interior is OK for a 50 year old car. There is no rips or tears. My father had new door panels put in a few years ago. I can remember it was quite expensive. The hardware is original and there is a lot of wear to chrome on door handles. The windows do work, but it is hard to raise and lower windows, especially on drivers side. The headliner is original and needs replacing. It does have a working heater, no AC-never had it. My father bought the seat belts, but they have never been installed. They are still in box in trunk. Tire rims are original, in good shape, but do have rust. The tires are not worn, but are probably close to dry rotting. They hold air, but I would not recommend driving on them. It would be advisable to have the car towed to new home and inspected before driving long distances. It has spare tire- i guess it is original too. No antenna or working radio-still has orginal radio in dash. The glass is not broken- good windows and windshields. I have no idea how many miles the new engine actually has- I do not know if my Dad put in a rebuilt engine or what--I am not a mechanic. i do not know what size it is. It uses regular gas. The seals on the doors are pretty bad--dry rotted. Floor boards are good. Overall this car is not bad to be an old classic. I truly hate to sell it and would not if i did not need the money. I want you to be happy with it, but again sold AS IS. I am not going to predict what a 50 year old car will do. If you would like to make an appointment to look at it or if you have questions please call me at 334-237-0110. I am on central time--please do not call after 8 o'clock. It will be your responsibility to move the vehicle. Although it drives now-I would be very leasry about driving it home. The tires are old and the car has not been on a long drive in years.

Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green
Fri, 01 Mar 2013With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.
