Up for auction is my 1953 chevrolet sedan 2 door bel air. The car runs great, shifts good, and stops like it is supposed to. The rear of the frame has been c notched with a Gambino kustoms C notch kit and has air ride in the rear with a monoleaf and will lay frame with the stops pulled out. The car is a project/work in progress and is by no means perfect but it is fun to drive and gets alot of looks. The front suspension is stock other than having the springs shortened. The winsheild and back glass are in decent shape with no sugnificant clouding issues but the door glasses are cracked. The interior is not complete, the front and rear seats are in the car but it needs a headliner and door panels. The seats need to be recovered as well if you're looking for a total restoration, I'm rocking some mexican blankets. The car was painted before I purchased it with a flat white body and a heavy metallic blue roof. I have found no rust signs in the exterior of the car but did not see it before it was painted so I can't be positive. There is rust in the bottom of the doors (not on the outer skin) that needs to be patched if you're not going for the rat look. You can't see it unless the doors are open with the door panels removed. I have driven the car several times but the shocks need to be mounted on the rear end and a couple bugs need to be worked out to be 100% road worthy. I also have a NO LIMITS ENGINEERING mustang II front end that I purchased for the car with rack and pinion steering and tubular control arms with air ride that I would sell for an additional 1,500 after the purchase of the car, the kit sells new for 2,300. I will be adding more pics tomorrow.
I added more pics of the interior, engine compartment, and trunk. I also took a picture of the new carb that goes with the car. I tried to take picsof the floor boards and trunk pan but the carpet and insulation is glued down and i didn't want to tear it. I can see that the front pans have been patched and the trunk pan looks solid from what I can see. The spare tire recess has been cut out and welded up so that it doesn't hang down anymore. Again, ask any questions and I will answer them to the best of my ability and remember this is not a show car by any means. It is a good project for someone who wants a rider to tinker with along the way.

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs
Sun, 01 Dec 2013
The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.
GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
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.
