Jonesville, Michigan, United States
|
Before I begin, I would encourage all serious buyers to contact me directly at 1-517-990-2646 with any questions or concerns. This auction is for a 1959 Chevrolet Belair 2-door 1 family owned since new. I apologize in advance for the long winded story but this car deserves it. 1959 is said by some to be the best year, for the second time in as many years, Chevrolet again came up with a totally new car. From the front or rear the 1959 Chevrolets resembled nothing else on the road. From the headlights, placed as low as the law would allow, to the cats-eye tail lights, the 1959 Chevrolet was a brand new car with all new sheet metal, a new frame, and even new series names. The most visual new change was the flat, wing shaped tailfins. The '59 Chevy was the last car that Harley Earl designed for GM before retiring, and his flamboyant style was very evident. It’s in great condition throughout! All the mechanics work properly, looks great and is fun to drive! This very rare 59 Belair is in nice original condition everywhere you look with only 1 re-paint to the original color. This car is a one family owned car I bought it from the niece of the original owner we have a folder full of documentation of ownership including the original title in his name. ‘59 model year and is a very rare to find one for sale, let alone one that is in the original condition this one is, this car may be the one you can own at a great price. This car is a rare find with being one family owned since new with docs and the fact that it is all original with only one repaint and a new headliner. The miles on the odometer show 61,299 and are original to the car. The engine bay is original, when the car was passed down in 2005 the motor was completely rebuilt we have the receipts also, the paint was also done at that time, still looks nice but not perfect, they added power steering for ease of driving there were older at this time also, every piece of chrome and stainless is very nice with the exception of the bumpers they had them painted with a special chrome paint and they said it looked good at the time but after almost 10 years they need to be re-chromed. Turn over the 283 V-8 engine and quite rumble from the exhausts hits a sweet tune. Driving it, you will appreciate the ride and handling characteristics. The optional 2-speed auto transmission shifts smoothly, the power brakes stop the car quickly and securely. It’s is a blast to drive! The body is in nice condition. The metal is clean and straight with no signs of damage. We have pictures of the car in 2005 before any work was done; it still was all original everywhere but the tires. All the glass is in great shape with no chips or cracks. The original bias-ply spare tire and all the jack assembly is all there, the original paint under the deck lid and original jack instructions are still there with the original trunk mat. The underside is very solid the original owner had the car rust proofed new and then had it done a couple more times over the years just to make sure the car would last. Overall this is a rare opportunity to own a true piece of American history of the automobile industry, how many 59 Belair’s do you see at your local or national events across the country?

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray priced from $51,995*
Fri, 26 Apr 2013After months of speculation, Chevrolet has finally revealed the official starting price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The base MSRP for the 450-horsepower Stingray Coupe will be $51,995, while the Stingray Convertible will go for $56,995 (*both prices include a $995 destination fee). This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible - pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. Of course, neither price accounts for the sort of dealer markup that might grace early C7 window stickers, especially since less than a third of all Chevrolet dealers will be allocated Corvette models to sell at the car's launch.
Now, these prices are for the base car, so if you're wondering how much a fully loaded Stingray will run, Chevy has given us a good indication of that as well. The coupe we saw on display at the Detroit Auto Show (shown above), for example, would run $73,360 including options such as the $2,800 Z51 Performance Package, $2,495 competition sport seats and the $1,795 Magnetic Ride Control option - just to name a few. Stepping up to the 3LT trim level that brings a full leather interior will run an extra $8,005 over the base price.
While $20,000 in options may seem like a lot, this "as-tested" price still has the C7 competitively priced against rival coupes like the Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R. Speaking of price comparisons, Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).
Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
