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! |

German police Corvette promotes safe aftermarket tuning
Fri, Dec 4 2015The German organization Tune It! Safe! promotes safe, legal vehicle tuning in the country, and it probably doesn't have to worry about anyone breaking the law when this Polizei-themed Chevrolet Corvette is on the scene. The Vette is on display at the Essen Motor Show and is the group's latest police-wrapped tuner car, following models like the Brabus Rocket, Mercedes-Benz CLS, and AC Schnitzer-tuned BMW 123d in years past. Tikt Performance did the tuning this time, and the German company added a full carbon-fiber body kit for the Vette, including a front lip, side sills, rear spoiler, and relatively understated wheel flares. It also installed forged wheels that measure 19-inches in front and 20-inches in back and wrapped them with Hankook Ventus S1 Evo tires. To really let the coupe look the part of a proper Polizei car, the tuners included police lights from Hella and the appropriate blue-and-white wrap. Tikt left the 6.2-liter V8 alone to produce 460 horsepower and 465 pound-feet, and the power routes through a seven-speed manual. Even with the stock performance, this police-themed 'Vette would still look fantastic blasting down the Autobahn with the lights flashing. World premiere at the Essen Motor Show: initiative for safe tuning starts the new campaign year with TIKT Performance Corvette A powerful look for a powerful campaign: TUNE IT! SAFE! presents innovative design and maximum precision Innovative design, maximum precision and unique performance – with an enhanced Corvette, TUNE IT! SAFE! shows that attractive, creative tuning in no way has to conflict with legal requirements. In the new campaign year, the seventh generation of a sports car icon stands as a symbol and shining example of safe automobile tuning and 100 per cent driving fun. The campaign car of the initiative for safe tuning, sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Transport, the Association of Automobile Tuners (VDAT) as well as numerous other organisations and institutions, sees its premiere at the Essen Motor Show (Hall 10, Stand F104). TUNE IT! SAFE! also continues its partnership with premium tyre manufacturer Hankook. Tuning specialist TIKT Performance based in Upper Bavaria is responsible for the innovative conversion of the new TUNE IT! SAFE! police car.
GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
So, how do you actually pronounce that automaker's name?
Thu, Jan 21 2016You probably have that friend who always says Porsche wrong, or maybe it's someone who keeps reminding you it's actually two syllables. Whichever side of the pronunciation debate you fall on, you'll find someone to root for in the video above. And before you ask, this was all the video team's idea. So don't get mad at me for being the voice of reason. BMW Chevrolet Hyundai Nissan Rolls-Royce Videos Original Video nissan qashqai
