1954 Chevrolet BelAir 4 door - 6 cylinder - 3 speed standard shift - speedometer reads 13000 miles so probably 113000.
I'll try to list the good and the things it still needs.
This car was restored in about 1997 but only has about 8000 miles since restoration on motor and drive train.
Had all new interior, headliner, paint and body done at that time.
Car runs good, just installed new front shocks and front brake shoes. It has new re-chromed bumpers and bumper guards. The engine has good oil pressure. Lights and gauges all work except the clock. The turn signals work. Radio does not work. Car had floor pans professionall replaced. Also, there was some body work done behind rear wheel at bottom of rear fenders.
Things that still need to be re-done:
Windshield has crack - I do have an extra windshield but it has a very thin hairline crack in it so I never installed it. One rear door glass window has crack. The car needs new muffler and tail pipe, it leaks but it is not too loud but it should be replaced. Driver seat has what looks like 3 cigarette burns from sometime in the past. All other seats and headliner are in good condition. Stainless trim is not perfect has typical nicks and scrapes. The car does have a couple of small rust bubbles under paint, one is top fender near headlight on the driver's side and two or three places in the back near rear quarters.
I purchased this car about 3 months ago and had it shipped from Kansas to Indiana. I don't know why I purchased it, I have 3 other 50's cars including another '54 BelAir so I decided to sell this one. I have clear title in my name.
If you have any questions email or call me at 574-361-5673.
On May-08-13 at 12:53:47 PDT, seller added the following information:I forgot to mention that I don't have ignition key. The ignition is not on lock so the car can be driven without a key. I do have the truck key.

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
