I am selling my project car that I have had for nearly 5 years because I have finally given up on the dream of getting it finished. My original intentions were to strip it down and make a drag car out of it, but $$$ got to be a little too much for me. I have lost interest in this project and would like to see someone with the desire to get it back on the road have a chance.
Here are the details:
1966 Chevrolet Bel Air (Biscayne/Impala) 2 door
350 V8/TH350 Auto - Engine is out of a 1980 Chevy truck that had very low miles. Has a mild cam, Performer intake, and Edelbrock 750 carb. Has headers, but NO exhaust. Trans works good (when last driven) and has a shift kit. Car has a 12 bolt rear. Also has newer tires on the front and completely bald tires on the rear (275/60/15). Wheels are GM ralleys. Car has an awesome stance and looks great. Note: The mileage listed in the description is a guess because Ebay required you to put something. The odometer reads 24000 but actual miles are unknown.
The interior leaves a little to be desired. It is all there, but it is all in rough shape. Seats need recovered, headliner needs replaced, door panels look a little rough, etc..
The body appears to be in good shape, as does the paint. There are a few dings as you can see in the pictures: 1. the front valance in front of the hood has a scratch with missing paint. 2. on the driver's side rear quarter panel, there is a spot where the paint is cracked from something hitting it that was in the trunk 3. on the trunk lid there is what looks like a ding from a bullet???
All of these things were there when I purchased the car. The trunk appears to be in good shape, as do the floorboards (the photo shows rust, but it looks like surface rust only on the drivers side).
The car needs a starter and a battery to run, and needs a serious tune-up to run good. I believe the valves need to be reset as this motor has not even been broken in since the cam was installed. I am honestly just completely burnt out on cars and have no interest in fixing these simple things.
This would make the perfect project car for someone. It would probably take too much to make a show car (my opinion) but would make an excellent driver/drag car/resto-mod. Much cheaper than a Camaro, Chevelle, Nova, Corvette, etc.
There are a couple things that will be included with the car: 1. I have a brand new trunk seal for it as the one on it needs replaced. 2. a large aftermarket front sway bar (not sure of brand, might be Hotchkiss???). I removed this as I was trying to make the front end lighter for racing.
I do have a pair of Moser axles for this car that I am listing separately, but will sell to the buyer of the car if you want them.
I know I am forgetting things so please ask if you have questions.
All Sales are Final and everything is being SOLD AS IS. Please ask any questions BEFORE bidding. It is up to the BUYER to arrange for pick up or shipping.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]
Mon, 18 Aug 2014For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else
Sat, 16 Feb 2013The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.
