1958 Chevrolet Bel Air
Sport Coupe (2-door hardtop)
This is a nice Chevrolet Bel Air 2-door hardtop. It is powered by a Chevy 350 cu. in. V-8 with an Edelbrock four barrel carburetor and intake manifold. The transmission is a stock 3 speed manual with column shift; the clutch is good and tight.
The interior is custom brown naugahyde with tan herringbone cloth inserts and the original upholstery trim. It rides on BF Goodrich TA radials and Cragar wheels. It is a GREAT driver! I've drive it from Sequim, Washington on the Olympic Peninsula all the way to Sacramento, California without a bit of trouble, and it was a smooth ride.
I bought this car about eight years ago on eBay - sight unseen. It was a littler rougher than it looked in the pictures. Since then, I've done and had a lot of work done over the years to make it as nice as it is now. Here is a list:
- The floor pans and trunk had some rust, which I ground down, painted with POR 13 and patched with fiberglasss. It was not so bad that I considered it necessary to remove and replace with patch panels.
- I've had some mechanical improvements done including replacing the cam and lifters, replacing both front and rear coil springs, installed rear air-shocks, replaced the gas tank, installed a new electric fuel pump, installed a new heater core and had the heater control valve rebuilt, and had a new exhaust system with glass pack mufflers installed. I also installed a new under dash wiring loom and fuse box.
- With the exception of the upholstery, I have completely gone through the interior including having the dash and interior trim repainted to match the Bronze paint color, replaced all window and door handles, installed new dash trim/bezels/glove box/door threshold, replaced the firewall pad and kick panels, installed a new carpet kit and sound insulation over the floorboards, replaced the trunk mat and panels, and installed a new made to fit AM/FM radio with a split front stereo speaker in the dash which is set up for iPod on the auziliary band.
- I replaced the wind wing and side door glass and frames, and replaced the rubber windshield and rear window seals.
I've seen two other '58 Chevy Sport Coupes for sale in the last year or so that look just like my car including paint color, tires, and rims; they're both frame-off restorations and the owners were seeking $50,000+/-. I also saw one recently that is a project car and the owner has a "buy it now" price of $13,850. My car is very well "buy it now" priced at $16,500. It is not a high-dollar show car for the following reasons:
- The exterior paint job looks great from 10+ feet away, but whoever painted it didn't put enough time and energy preparing the car for painting. The panels are not laser straight and some sanding swirls are noticeable on the trunk lid around the lock.
- Some of the stainless trim is dented.
- I failed to replace the front windshield when I had the rubber replaced, and some hazing is noticable around the edges. Also, I have not been able to find new rear quarter window glass with frames; the frames are pitted.
- I bought and improved the car to be a good looking "driver".
So, you are bidding on a reasonably priced, good looking, and reliable 1958 Chevy Sport Coupe. I've had a lot of fun with it, but I have a couple of other toy cars and I'm too busy as a self-employed person to drive all three of them.
If you have questions, I can be reached at (360) 504-2440. If you have the time and interest, come see the car in Sequim, Washington. Once the auction has ended, the down payment of $1,000 is due through PayPal within 48 hours. The balance must be received in verified funds, cash or wire transfer, within 7 days and prior to my releasing the vehicle. The successful bidder can fly into Seattle, Washington and drive this car home! Shipping is an alternative; I am not offering shipping on this vehicle. However, I will work with the winning bidder's shipper. My zip code is 98382 if you want to obtain shipping quotes.
Thank you for looking and Happy Bidding!

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.
Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
