1962 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe Aka Bubbletop 327 Automatic on 2040-cars
Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States
|
1962 BelAir Bubbletop Sport Coupe. Authentic and all there. Just at the junction in time to do a restoration right the way the buyer feels fit.....or drive it Rat as I have. This is a pretty straight survivor, an original V8 equipped automatic transmission car. 327 with 3 speed auto.The car runs and drives. I take it out from time to time. We have owned this car for 4 years and have kept it in storage inside at all times never left outside once. It was a barn find in Illinois. We bought it and had it "new car" carried here. It has a 1986 L-82 Corvette aluminum manifold with a new Edlebrock carburetor and air cleaner which were there when we bought it. Otherwise all stock except for the exhaust (as far as I know). The 327 runs pretty beefy for stock so I suspect a cam change. Nice idle. I don't know if the engine has been worked but it is very very clean inside. All fluids are clear and the right color. Good power steering and battery. This car has never been offered for sale by us. White exterior (Ermine white) Aqua interior (Both factory colors). Most of the interior panels are present mostly intact but worn . Front and back seats need recovering. Any trim missing, panels, etc are included and carefully stored. I have removed the interior and outer trim to begin the chemical paint removal process. Screws are in baggies marked. The top has no dents and the body has very few. There is a dent in the drivers side front fender by the bumper. The rest of the car is straight and workable as is. No replacement panels and minimum bondo. There is rust and it will need to be addressed. Areas will need to be replaced. It is well worth the effort remember I bought it no regrets. California style one piece bumpers came on this car from the factory. It has a 3 piece on the front now. The original front bumper was stolen before we bought it and we have a replacement to go with as well as the mounts. Both bumpers will be included, the one presently on the car and the one piece replacement we bought. The windshield has been replaced (it was cracked). We bought 1962 6" station wagon wheels for it which are on the car. 409 offset add ons. The American Racing (centerline style) wheels it came with are here if you want them with car as are the fender skirts. There is a picture near the end showing the car the way we got it. Radio and lighter delete. Power seat.Power steering. All glass present. Needs headliner and carpet. Just about everything works but the left rear directional..bad ground? That being the horn, all headlights and tailights ,dash lights,power seat windshield wipers all work..the gas gauge is squirrelly though and reads full when it isn't Had a new tank and straps and I haven't pulled it to troubleshoot.. This was my project car for retirement. I intended to keep it so I have treated it well. The car is drive-able and fully functional as is and has been registered each year with no taxes due. It currently has no insurance because my insurance company cancels it. It has shorty bullet glass packs and no pipes just mufflers. It runs pretty good but a 409 would do it justice. It needs restoration and has rust especially in the side pockets and rear lower quarters. The hood and trunk lid are eaten through at the very front and back There are a few holes here and there but all is repairable. The corner under the left tailight is rusted out completely The trunk has rust deterioration poking through at the very front inside. about a 1/2 inch. I have a trunk cut from an original car as well as a left rear quarter from an original car. I have had body guys look at this and they told me it wasn't that bad, it looks worse than it is. There are also extra parts just in case. I removed the interior 2 weeks ago and it is all in boxes neatly identified as is the outer body trim. This is an ideal 409 project car as it is originally a V8 build. I don't think the rear is a posi trac as I see no P. I don't know the ratio. There is a lot more invested and I am trying to be as thorough as space allows without going on and on. I have changed direction in how I want to invest in our future. This was to be my retirement project until this week. I love this car. This is a tough decision, and no this is not a sales tactic this is tough. I am not bailing on this because of anything I found or the work involved or being short on cash or because we're in a bind. I have other opportunities presented to me this week out of the blue that I have chosen to pursue. It will require a substantial investment, more than we have on hand so I need the capital soon. I am listing this opening price and it is already less than invested. I will not accept less so please don't offer I will say no. I don't want to hear your reasons why either. I will only list this once for 7 days. This is a one shot deal and as close as I have ever gotten to selling it. I have never even entertained the thought. If this auction runs out without a bid then I will not see it as priced too high because it isn't. That means I won't re-list for less I know how eBay works having been a Top Seller for 5 years. No re-list for less this time so don't hold your breath. I will take it as a sign I am to keep it and restore it. This is how I will decide what I am to do. If it doesn't sell this listing I will restore and keep it and not pursue the before mentioned deal and let it go. The opening bid is $2500 less than I bought the car for with windshield wheels and transport added it's more. I also bought the California bumper for the front and the extra stuff. So price is not negotiable. Already got a guy on the line that has broken most of these rules below I am ready to block. On that note: Let's deal with attitude. No pros that love to humiliate buyers (I know you're out there) Don't talk me down and run me ragged. I have a life too and my time is just as important to me. No bullies or cons, period. I am a good guy and this is a real deal and not your play hole. I will block you and there will be no further discussion concerning the car.Play nice. I need a real buyer with cash that plays ZERO games such as "after the sale BS fault finding" to lower the price. or "cut me a better deal" people before the auction ends or when you get here to pick up the car "put you on the spot" types. I know you traveled a long way but no I will not pay your expenses if you are disappointed and no I will not cut you a better deal afterwards because it's not what you were looking for. It never is what you were expecting for you guys and I'm not playing your stupid game. I try to be straight up with everyone and if you can't help but feel like you had to screw me to pat yourself on the back stay far far away. I will not tolerate any behavior that is not respectful,straight foward and honest. You shove you will leave here empty handed....I promise. I don't care how many $20's you wave under my nose Now as for the rest of you good people that are left ( I know you're out there too). You're the guy I hope buys this car, somebody that deserves it: There are a number of people that have expressed interest in purchasing this car. But then there always are.....every time I drive it. Most are still dreaming, I would prefer you come here and get the car with your own trailer or flatbed personally. I would like to meet you and shake your hand and I would prefer real cash on the barrel head. That's what I would prefer anyway.That may not be realistic. Transport is your responsibility entirely. Whatever works for you. Cash or USPS Money Orders are preferred but by whatever payment method it must clear our bank first before I will release title We have a local bank that is old school and they wait two weeks sometimes to clear checks. Truth. There are no hidden problems or mechanical problems and the car has been babied since we got it. I have had a bunch of off eBay offers already. We will run the auction to the end. Highest bidder will win it. If you don't bid and wait till after it is not for sale as I explained in my description above. I mean it. No trades or partial trades. If you want this car bid, I will not do anything with you if you don't. This is an amazing find for the right person, a real reward in life. That's how I see it and that's how it is. Respect that fact we'll get along fine. Everything I have stated is true and to the best of my ability I have been forthright. I have faithfully maintained my ownership and offer this to you, the next guy. Good Luck! |

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
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.
2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
