53 Chevy 2 Door Post Sedan 210 Original Patina Very Solid Clear Title on 2040-cars
Lothian, Maryland, United States
|
I've looked at a hundred of these cars and this one is very nice as far as they go. The paint is shot, the chrome is shot, the patina is excellent. I wanted to build a hot rod gasser out of this with shiny paint and chrome but it's too good to touch.If it doesn't sell I will upgrade the drive train, repair the front seat, and replace all of the chrome. The worn original paint just looks too cool to disturb. The front fenders have been blended at one time or another, which looks fine with mostly original paint every where else. No one has ever spray bombed the firewall and the jambs are factory fresh. The trunk floor is super solid with original paint under the original trunk mat. Same goes for the floors with original rubber mat up front and carpet in the rear. When I got this car a year ago it still had the original dealer installed seat covers that had been there for 60 years. I removed them to find all of the original factory upholstery is still there. The front bottom cushion has a split in the cover and the top layer of foam is brittle, replace the one inch thick foam and about 3 yards of reproduction cloth and you are back in business. All of the interior pieces are original and still there although faded and somewhat distressed from age. Door panels are good but old as is the headliner with no rips but dirty looking from age. Pat the gas 3 times it starts right up and runs like a top. This car is very tight driving, only needs a few tweaks to motor on for several more years. The wiring harness has never been cut on or messed with. All of the original bolts are where they should be and all the rubbers and weather strips are present. This looks like a well cared for 56,000 mile car. Oil change stickers in the door jamb back to 1957! Radio delete, wind up clock works, fuel gauge works, ammeter works, oil pressure gauge works, temp gauge does not. New brakes, exhaust and battery before I got it. Brake pedal sometimes hangs up, should be easy fix. This car is tagged and insured, I drive it regularly. 53s and 54s are very popular and desirable but hard to find in this condition. A better one costs 15K or more. There is a half dollar size rust hole under the front seat on the drivers side and a silver dollar size hole under the back seat on the passenger side. The body mount under this hole has some rust. That is the only rust in the car. It has never had a patch panel anywhere. Don't miss the opportunity to have an ultra cool driver with real patina .Cragars are currently on the car and go with it. I ran the stock wheels and then the Moon discs for a short time but I like the Cragars the best. Call 240 375 4329 with any questions. Thanks.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray
Fri, 25 Oct 2013We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
