1954 Bel Air 210
This is a 1954 Bel Air 210 with a 235 6 cyl and a Powerglide Automatic transmission. This old coupe has been well taken care of and is a cool looking old cruiser. This car fires right up every time and hums like a sewing machine. It runs and drives beautifully. It has been converted to 12 volts. It has a new gas tank, new tires, and new headlight bucket assemblies with wiring harness. The car has been lowered 4" in the front by cutting the springs and 3" in the rear with lowering blocks.
The car was painted recently painted with a two tone powder blue and white paint job with lace panels sprayed on the roof to give it that old school hot rod look that both old timers and new car enthusiast can appreciate. The front portions of the rear quarter panels have been replaced. (the round humps where the gravel guards are). The chrome trim all around the car is in good condition except the rocker panel strips and the tail light bezels.Those can each be replaced for about $80. The gravel guards look good, but they have some scratches and dings (probably from doing their job). I spent a lot of time finding the right clips for the trim all over the car. The only clips I couldn't find were for the trim piece above the rear quarter window. Right now they are being held by trim tape. Its working well, but I want the new buyer to be aware of this. The front and rear emblems have been shaved. The chrome strip that goes down the center of the hood is brand new and gives the whole front of the car a smoother look. The rear quarters behind the rear tires have some body filler in them, but they weren't bad enough to warrant being replaced with a patch panel. You'd be hard pressed to find a 60 year old car now a days without any body filler for under $20k. This is a reasonably priced awesome old car that anyone could enjoy.
The interior is in GREAT shape. It has been reupholstered within the last 5-10 years. It has black carpeting and a dark navy blue seats and door panels. The trunk is overall solid with small pin holes and a nickel sized hole in the spare tire well. The whole trunk has been sprayed with a truck bed liner coating.
The wheels are the original steelies painted black with bullet lug nuts and new ribbed trim rings. One wheel stud on the rear axle needs to be replaced. The car comes with 2 new wheel cylinders, 3 new front brake lines and a new wheel bearing in case you need them in the future. Also included are a set of fender skirts painted to match the car. I didn't put them on because I don't have the clips needed to attach them.
The driver's door window has a small crack in the corner near the door lock, the passenger rear quarter window was shot with a BB gun and the passenger wing window has a small crack in it as well. The rest of the glass is in great shape to include the windshield and the rear window. The cracked glass does not impede any function or viewing. They're all flat pieces and can be easily replaced. The windshield wiper motor is still the original vacuum unit and it might work, but I don't know anything about them. I planned on picking up an electric one for a hundred bucks and being done with it.
The original tire jack and spare tire also come with the car. I have tried to be as honest as possible listing the good with the bad, but I know I am missing something. As I think of things I will add them as the auction goes on. With that being said please feel free to ask any and all questions. I will do my best to answer them as quickly as possible. Also if there are any specific pictures you would like to see just ask and I will get them out to you ASAP. I do have a clean and clear NC title for this car.

2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit
Mon, 04 Mar 2013We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
