1968 Chevy Bel Air Wagon with a 327 4bbl auto. This is a project I decided I don't have time for, although it's an easy restore. She runs and drives, although I would recommend trailering to get it home. Odometer shows 77,000 miles and I was told by previous owner that it is original, but I can't guarantee that. Some things lead me to believe it is and others don't. This is a solid car that turns heads and gets comments even in its half restored condition. Actually quite rare if you search for ones for sale. So, following is a break down of condition:


Exterior: Good. Front clip shown in black is rust and dent free - OEM, ready for finishing.  Doors are solid - they have that wonderful feel and sound when you shut them - no rust or dents. Both rear wheel wells are rusted through, but not horribly so - see pictures. The area under the car behind the rear wheels is completely rusted through. Floorboards are solid - no rust.  Rear gate - just a little surface rust. Back window is not operational at this time, but I'm quite sure that's an easy fix.  As I have time, I may tinker with a few things and update the listing as I fix them. Rear bumper has a slight dimple in it.  All other trim/moulding/grille is good, except fender moulding missing on R side and short piece missing on L side fender. Windshield has about an 8" crack near the rear view mirror - doesn't go to any edge, it's just an 'island' crack - not in driver view. All other glass good. 

Interior: Good. Seats have been reupholstered to original specs. Headliner is good. Dash is good. No cracks or warping. Carpet decent - has one hole on driver side about the size of a softball and another up underneath the dash out of view. Dash/instrument panel all good. Weather stripping around interior of doors is frayed. Steering wheel is good. Original radio is gone. The one in it is worthless. Door pillar moulding or cover on the L side is kinda coming off, but is fixable with what is there. Back seat is good. Not a 3rd seat model. Condition of carpet in cargo area is so-so. 

Mechanical/Electrical: Engine runs strong. Has new starter.  Carb will need some work - you have to pump like heck to get her to start, but once running, it is smooth and doesn't need to be babied to keep going until warmed up. Needs an alignment. Transmission operates perfectly. Sometimes when you turn it off after running it makes a strange sound that I thought was coming from maybe the power steering pump or alternator, but a person I talked to who is more mechanically inclined than me said (without hearing it himself) that it could be the thrust bearing in the tranny.  Has a leak around the thermostat housing - one of those things I might get around to fixing while auction is going on. Brakes are spongy.  Tires are like new (front ones on there now are worn from alignment issue, but I have 2 good ones to throw to make 4 good ones). There is no jack.

That pretty much covers everything that I think is worth noting.  Of course, checking it out in person would be the best, if you can work that out.  Has clear Idaho title. Might be best to just call me at (509)291-3280, Buyer will be responsible for shipping or pick up.  $500.00 deposit due immediately upon close of auction

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes

Tue, 28 Aug 2012


Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
