1957 Chevy Bel Air 2 Door Hardtop

 Unmolested Original Survivor / Low Reserve 

This is a 1957 Chevy Bel Air Hardtop that has spent the majority of its life in the sunny weather of Arizona.  I purchased this car recently in a package deal from the second owner’s family with documentation going back to the 1970’s. This has been parked in the same garage without moving for over a decade.  Overall it’s a very complete vehicle with all original parts, still has the original keys from Chevrolet 

The previous owner had this car taken down to bare metal, while doing this there was a rusty drivers side rocker and a small piece behind the passenger side door which I hear is common on this make and model.  A skilled metal worker replaced these pieces using Danchuk parts.  This car was shot with black to prevent the elements from getting to the steel.  Overall the body seems to be very solid but the driver’s side quarter needs work to be arrow straight.  Engine is a 283 with a three speed trans,  I’m unsure if it’s a correct numbers matching motor.  Original paint is still on the dash, interior trim pieces ect.  Car was never repainted and still shows the factory over spray underneath.  As you can see from the photos this still has the original under coating from Chevrolet back in 1957.  Nice under carriage,  like I said this is very honest original car with loads of potential. 

This is a very complete project car, and would be very easily finished into a real nice classic.   Side glass is in good shape along with the rear.  Unfortunately the front windshield was cracked during transport and will need to be replaced.

 Please feel free to contact me with any questions, located in north Peoria / Surprise area.  This car is being advertised locally and I reserve the right to end auction early.  Very low and reasonable reserve.  Contact Kevin @ (623)826-1024 for questions.

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.

Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
