I am selling my 1960 chevrolet belair 2 door bubble top, as I sold my jeep and mach 1 to buy this, and really miss my jeep. This is a really nice car, that is solid and tight. It has a lot going for it, the space era styling with the wings, its been lowered, torq thrust wheels, a rare 348 tripower engine, and a Muncie 4 speed, in a real refreshing color!! I will go through the car ion stages.


DRIVETRAIN:  the car has a freshly rebuilt 1961 ge code high performance 348, not a truck block!! It has less than 100 miles on the engine. Previous owner had it professionally rebuilt. Has factory exhaust manifolds running through a brand new dual exhaust all the way out the back like factory! The 348 is running an Iskenderian hydrolic cam, with the 3x2 carb setup. It is running the progresive linkage. It still has the stock type distributor with a pertronix ignition inside. Has the original radiator, fan shroud, and fan, and it keeps it running cool like I should. Even running a generator to keep the car looking all period correct. The cam has a nice sound to it. The transmission is out of a 1967 chevelle, being a Muncie. It feels like a pretty close ratio, maybe an m-21. It shifts very nice and smooth, backed up by a hurst shifter with the vintage white ball. The rear end is still stock, not sure of the ratio, but seems to be in the 3:00-3:50 range. Runs smooth and tight, not overworking the 348 on the road. Still am need some final tweaking on carbs, and timing, but set pretty close, as I drove it about 40 miles to a show the other night, and ran great, and about 1/3 on temp gauge. Car has dropped spindles up front, and has been lowered, with disc brakes that work great!! Has torq thrust wheels all around, and gives it a very cool stance!!! Rear tires are a big 275x 60x 15.


INTERIOR: the seats were redone with an original style vinyl as we're the door panels. The headliner and carpet are still original. All the gauges work, temp, fuel, speedometer, oil light, and generator light. The horn sounds right, and blinkers work, high beams low beams, brakes, and running lights all function right. The emergency brake works right also. It was a little chilly he other night, turned on the heat, and warmed the inside right up!! Even listened to the old tunes on he factory straight line tuning am radio!! All windows roll up and down right, and close properly, even 1/4 windows crank open and seal right.All the vents work right also.Just a nice solid car!!

BODY: the car has a very nice clean solid body that was repainted some time ago, and just kept clean!! Firewall and trunk was painted at the same time, usually done in black to save time by most. All the trim is in nice shape, with just a minor knick in one of the little aluminum airplane points. I have 2 extra that go with the car. This is a hard car to get all the panels to line up right, as its big, and has a lot of curves. The original color is cascade green, as this was done in that color, with a touch of metallic in the paint. A very nice soothing color that is different. All the glass is clean, trunk locks and door locks work. Has the 348 badges on the trunk and grill. Passenger lower 1/4 panel looks to have been replaced at one time, and what a nice job was done!! I was told by previous owner, who had the car since the 90's, is believed to have 98,000 original miles on it. Carpet, and headliner show how it was cared for. 
 
ENDING: this is a really cool, rare car, being a bubble top, and a belair to boot. Same car as the impala, just not having some extra trim, 3rd light, ect. This gets the attention with the looks, the rare 348/409 engine, tri power, and 4 speed. Just a neat different car at the show, built during the height of the space race winged and finned cars. 
The reserve on tis will be under $23,000!! It is titled in my name, and insured through heacock classics for $35,000! Look at some of the others, going for mid teens for a project, to  mid 30's for a hot rod. This is a nice solid car. It passed the nsra 23 point inspection .

NOT INTERESTED IN ANY TRADES AT THIS TIME, JUST LOOKING TO GET BACK INTO A NEW RUBICON JEEP. IF YOU HAV LESS THAN 10+ FEEDBACKS! PLEASE EMAIL BEFORE BIDDING OR I MAY CANCEL YOU OUT!

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
