1953 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 Door Hardtop Coupe 53 Chevy Street Rod Hot Rod Classic on 2040-cars
East Rochester, Ohio, United States
|
Just close your eyes and picture yourself behind the wheel of this absolutely gorgeous Viper Red Chevy as you cruise on down the street gathering smiles and waves everywhere you go.
Everybody loves a 53 Chevy, and this is certainly one you would be proud to own. Spending all of it's life in sunny North Carolina until the present owner brought it to Ohio, this beauty appears to have never had a bit of rust. The owner did a five year total restoration and says that he found the frame, supports, body mounts, floors, trunk floor, free of any signs of rust and only one tiny pencil tip size area of rust on the body as the car was stripped down to bare metal. A new 350 crate motor with 265 horsepower with electric fuel pump was installed along with a re-built 350 transmission about 5 years and 1,600 miles ago. All chrome was re-plated except the rear bumper, which shines great and still has a North Carolina car dealer's sticker on it. The drum brakes are all new, as are the ball joints, tie rods, idler arm and shocks. Flow Masters were installed to give a nice mellow rumble to the dual exhaust. All gauges including tach and 160 mph speedometer work fine, but the heater was removed and the wipers were not connected. The car has manual steering and maintains the original steering wheel. My close inspection of this beautiful Chevy showed the undercarriage to look great and the entire body, trim, chrome, and glass to be in superior condition. If you have less than 3 positive eBay feedback, you MUST first e-mail your name and phone number for me to call before bidding or your bid may be cancelled. A $500 non-refundable deposit must be received within 48 hours of auction end with balance in full received within 7 calendar days of end of auction. Cash or bank wire transfer gets immediate possession of car and title. If you have any questions or would like to arrange a personal viewing please call Jack at 330/389-0456. I am assisting the owner in this sale and can get answers to most questions you may have. |

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty
Tue, 05 Mar 2013We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.
