Broken vent window but I have replacement glass."

Up for auction is my 57 Chevy Belair Sport Coupe. This car is best described as a Sunday driver.


Lets begin with the body, All of the panels are rust free and straight with the exception of some minor bubbling in the paint in the lower front pass. door and the lower trunk, you would not notice if they were not pointed out. The body is solid as a rock!

Paint is shiny and very presentable, has a few scratches but overall very nice. The frame floors, rockers, body supports and trunk are really nice there was some very minor patch work done some years ago but no complete panel replacement, the car did not require extensive repair.
The chrome is very nice with the exception of the front bumper. The bumper is straight but the chrome is not good. The rear bumper, tail lights, headlight doors and front grille bar,have all been replaced and are in excellent condition.
The stainless trim is all intact and although not perfect is very presentable.

The interior was done at some point and is in very nice condition. It is black vinyl ,with old school diamond tuck and roll inserts, new door panels and carpets were installed as well.
The heater controls and vent controls were recently restored and all is working well.
All  of the lights work as well as the speedometer and fuel,gauge. (The fuel gauge is inaccurate due to a dent in the fueltank, but it still works and runs out at one half. Tank does not leak.) There are gauges mounted under the dash for , battery, temp, and oil,pressure, and all operate as expected.
All of the glass is good except for a crack in the passenger vent window, I have a replacement.

Under the hood is a newer 350/300 crate motor, with polished aluminum intake new ebelbrock carb. HEI distributor. The engine has about 4000 miles on it. The transmission is a completely rebuilt Turbo350 with a mild shift kit and new torque converter.
There are new stainless headers and new dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. ( This sounds awesome).

This car is a blast to drive and is done mechanically. Looks awesome make it perfect or drive as is.
I am selling the car with the wide whites and factory hubcaps. If you want the Billet Specialties wheels and BFG's add $1,500.00 to the final bid and I will include both sets.

This vehicle is being sold AS IS, WHERE IS WITH NO WARRANTIES EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. I encourage bidders to come and see the vehicle or have it inspected by their representative.
My feedback is and has always been 100 percent because I go put of my way to be as accurate with my descriptions as possible. I note the most minor flaws and there are no surprises when you get your vehicle. Transportation is the responsibility of the buyer but I will assist in storage to accommodate the sale. Again this must be agreed prior to bidding.

PLEASE DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU PLAN TO BUY!
$1,000.00 Non refundable deposit required within 48 hours of auction end, balance due within 10 days unless other arrangements are agreed PRIOR TO BIDDING.
Sold on Ct bill of sale. Ct does not issue titles for vehicles over 25 years old.

GOOD LUCK BIDDING!

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out

Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
