Here is an absolutely incredible car!  This is a 1960 Chevrolet Bel Air 4 door sedan.  It has 103,000 original miles, but  in my opinion, it would actually pass for less than half that many!  This Original Survivor is an unbelievable time capsule!  I acquired it from the second owner, who had owned it nearly 50 years!  Car has always been pampered, garaged, and never driven in snow or ice.  All original body panels, floors, etc.  This is not rusted out or full of a bunch of bondo.  Body is nice and straight.   Clean and nice underneath too, not scaly or rusty like many you see.  Ready to drive or take to cruise ins or shows.  Like any used original car this age, there are a few minor nicks and dings, but this one still makes a super appearance.  In my opinion, it is much better than most original cars I  have seen from this era!

Very striking in red and white  with tri-tone gray and black deluxe cloth interior, this sharp Bel Air is equipped as follows:

1.   "Blue Flame" 6 Cylinder 235 cubic inch engine

2.  2 speed "Powerglide" automatic transmission.

3.  Deluxe push button AM radio (not working)

5.  Deluxe heater and defroster

6   Optional 2 tone paint

7.  Deluxe 2 speed wipers


This beautiful Chevy is an un-restored original Survivor and looks great!  Nice and shiny, not faded or oxidized.  Chrome  and bright work are also all original (NOT reproduction) and are bright and shiny.  This is one of the more original cars I have seen in awhile.  Still looks great under the hood and in the trunk!  Underside of car is also nice and clean.  The interior is really nice and all original.  No cracks or tears in door panels or arm rests.  Tri-tone upholstery on seats looks great!

As you would imagine, this car hits the road just fine  The engine and transmission are smooth with no issues that I can see.  Second owner had engine rebuilt and transmission serviced and re-sealed about 20,000 miles ago.   Only thing that doesn't work is AM radio.  Only other minor thing is that sometimes you have to "jiggle" the wiper switch to get them to come on.  Probably just dirty contacts.   I drove it on a 225 mile trip recently with no problems at all.  Handles and holds the road great!  Fun car to drive and gets lots of attention!

Car has 5 white wall radial tires with very good tread.   Brakes work well, and car drives and stops in a straight line.  Even the parking brake still works!  Only deviation from original that I see is that 2nd owner had an after-market muffler and chrome exhaust tip installed.  Rest of exhaust appears stock from what I can see.

This is one of the nicest, well cared for original late 50s to early 60s Chevrolets I have seen in quite awhile.  Yes, before you moan and groan that it is a 4 door, I wish it was a 2 door too!  However, I would much rather have a virgin, un-molested, honest 4 door than a thrown together 2 door for much more money that is full of rust and bondo!  Great car for Survivor class at car shows or vintage car tours.  Here is a great chance to get a 50s styled Chevy with big fins and lots of chrome that you can use right away and have fun at a very reasonable price!   Room for the whole family!  Remember, they are only original once!

ABOUT ME:  I have been a collector and enthusiast of Postwar American cars for nearly 40 years!  I maintain a "rotating collection" of 6 to 10 such vehicles.  Sometimes I sell one out of the collection to make way for a new arrival.  I favor un-restored original "Survivor" cars from the late 1950s to mid 1970s.

Hagerty kicks back with Ringbrothers for a look at the Recoil

Sat, May 2 2015

Over the years, Ringbrothers has shown the ability to mix a meticulous eye for style and serious amounts of horsepower with customs like the Pantera-based Adrnln. The company's recent project, a tuned 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle called Recoil, is some of its best work yet and already has Jay Leno's denim-clad stamp of approval. Now, Hagerty is taking a look, while digging into the history of the actual Ring brothers: Mike and Jim. The two guys grew up in a small town where owning a car was practically a necessity, and the brothers were already wrenching before they could even legally drive. Eventually, that passion grew into a business, which led to wonderfully customized performance vehicles like the Recoil. Hagerty gets a fascinating look into Ringbrothers tuning philosophy in its interview. Of course, the real interest lies in this custom Chevelle, and there's a chance to hear the absolutely ferocious sound from the Recoil's supercharged V8 in this clip.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

It won't be long now before Nissan Leaf finally overtakes Chevy Volt

Thu, Dec 25 2014

The two best-selling plug-in vehicles ever are the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf. When the two vehicles launched in late 2010, the plug-in hybrid Volt quickly outpaced the all-electric Leaf and, despite lots of ups and downs since then, continues to hold on to a cumulative sales lead. This will change in 2015. Cumulatively, from November 2010 through November 2014, the Volt sold 71,867 units while the Leaf trails with 69,220. That's a difference of just 2,647. Based on current trends (with the Leaf selling around 2,500-2,700 a month and the Volt at 1,500-1,700) we expect the Leaf to take over either in January or, more likely, February when the Leaf takes over as the most popular plug-in car in America. Perhaps even March, depending on how low the numbers are for January and February, which are always slow sales months in the US. Of course, once it takes the crown, the Leaf can't expect to easily hold on for long. A new Volt is coming in the second half of 2015, likely beating a new Leaf to market. The question is, then, how well the Chevy sells with all of its new bells and whistles. Do you think the Volt will be the comeback kid once the 2016 model becomes available?
