1963 Chevrolet  Bel Air Wagon Barn Find!

 

Below is a list of the equipment on the car:

 

  • 283 V8 2bbl

 

  • Powerglide Automatic Transmission

 

  • AM Radio.

 

  • Weld Drag Lite Wheels.

 

  • 6 Passenger 2 seat Wagon.

 

 

This car was pulled earlier this year from the same spot in Montana where it had sat since it was last registered in 1979 (the license plates showed a 1980 expiration) . It comes with the original owners manual and protection plan and some paper work from previous owners. It was sold new in Missoula MT (has dealer emblem on tailgate that matches the original paperwork.)  I am the third owner. The last owner bought it in 1976.

My intention was to restore it but I have other projects and would rather it go to someone that will take it to the next level. It would be a great candidate to swap in a built motor.

 

 Condition wise the car has rust the bottoms of the front fenders, spare tire well,  the doors have some rust on the driver’s bottom corner as well as a spot ahead of the rear wheel on the drivers side. The frame and floors appear to be very clean other than the one small (nickel size) hole on the passenger side and a spot at the end of the drivers and passengers side floor brace. There are some dents on the driver’s side doors and the rear corner on the driver’s side has small hole in the rear corner where it was pulled on. There is a soft dent on the rear quarter on the passenger side. The paint is weathered with some patina. The chrome bumpers and stainless trim are in nice shape and free of pitting. The interior has a cracks in the dash and the front seat has a cover as its not in good shape the back seat is in good shape except for the top corner, the door panels also show some wear. the headliner is in very nice shape with one small inch long tear. The windshield is cracked but the rest of the glass is in nice condition. The one rear bumper corner is bent but I have another one that goes with the car. Some of the side trim is missing you can see the clips still on the car in the pictures. All the doors and windows operate freely including the tailgate.  It has a new master cylinder, new NOS tail light lenses and wheels and tires. The wheels are 15 inch Weld drag lites, the tires have 85-90% of their tread and are in very good condition with hardly any use . I also have all 5 of the original 14x6 Wagon/409 specific wheels if someone is interested to buy them separately. The car is very original. It runs and drives (engine actually idles quietly) but, the engine smokes. I have driven it a few miles and it steers straight and drives well. The transmission shifts well through the gears. But, It should not be driven more than a few miles because the engine smokes and before having the rest of the brake system checked. 

It has a current title and registration.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

For 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!"
