1953 Chevrolet Bel Air Big Block Hotrod 4 Door Automatic Trans on 2040-cars
Elizabeth City, North Carolina, United States
|
This car was purchased last year with the intention of finishing the interior and driving it for long hours and vast miles, but work won't relent and the spare time has vanished. I have driven the car quite often and always get great remarks and warm memories from those that see her, but this 53 is never going to see completion with me. The car has a recently rebuilt .030" bored 454ci big block with magnum roller rockers,comp cam, high velocity oil pump, gear drive,edelbrock dual-plane intake, holley street avenger carb, ported and polished heads, water pump and aluminum radiator. The TCI Street Fighter turbo 400 automatic trans is also a recent installation with it's own aluminum cooler mounted up front, and controlled with a B&M ratchet shifter. I was referred to a dyno sheet that showed approx. 420 horses at 530 ft/lb of torque for this engine. The body is pretty solid, the rear door outer handles have been shaved, but the doors open fine from the inside. the front seat are from a Lincoln LSC from the late 80's, and should be updated to something more suitable for this neat ride. The steering column is a GM tilt column with the ignition key mount. The interior has never been completed, and I felt there was no cause to impose my taste if I was just going to sell. The car is a fun driver, it has a half-keg for a fuel tank mounted in the trunk; and it is connected to a fuel gauge. She doesn't leak any fluids or burn any oil,and includes some spare components and goodies. Contact Mark with any questions or to set up a time for a go-around, my # is 252-340-2683.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
