Location:

Cincinnati, Ohio, United States

Cincinnati, Ohio, United States

I hate to let this car go but I'm chasing something even better, so its up for auction.

This is a great 66 Bel Air 2 dr post. Excellent frame, floors, trunk...It has some rust in the lower rear quarters but otherwise is a great project car.

I was assembling parts to make it a 396/4 speed car but plans changed.

It started life as a 6 cylinder car in Oklahoma, and at some point the motor was replaced with a 307? (DO suffix code) 2bbl engine years ago. Motor runs great - starts easy and is super smooth. Carb needs an accelerator pump - hesitates on take off.   New exhaust just installed.  Trans is a column shifted Saginaw HD 3 speed.  Color is the original teal metallic with teal interior.

Runs and drives ok but I haven't put many miles on it lately. Manual drum brakes feel good, manual steering is tight. Lights work. Needs heater core and fuel sender.

Not sure if its ready to be a daily driver but its close. 

Interior is fair - previous owner removed carpet and applied rustoleum to the front floors. Seats and door panels have wear as shown. Odometer shows 67k miles. Windshield was replaced a couple years ago.

Exterior has had a repaint years ago and has some fading and flaking. There are several dings on the hood and trunk. Hood has a rust pinhole on the front edge but otherwise is solid, trunk lid has some bubbling in one corner.  Core support is excellent except for some minor rust around one mount. Needs a battery tray. Rockers and floors are excellent. Nice trim, grille and bumpers.  Everything under the car is covered in Oklahoma dust and flaky factory undercoating.

Please see all 50+ photos for details.

Clear Oklahoma title in hand.  I have a pair of full quarter skins available to the buyer for an extra $200, and if the car sells I'll be listing the 402 and rebuilt muncie I had saved for this car, as well as '66 specific parts like oil pan, big block manifolds, shifter, etc.

The car comes with a set of dog dish hubcaps as shown below, and also a new set of brake/clutch pedal pads.

Located in the eastern side of Cincinnati, Ohio, zip 45206. 

The car is seriously for sale and I welcome appointments to view it. Price is somewhat flexible but I have over $4000 in the car and don't want to lose my shirt.

International bids welcome. Thanks for looking!

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 to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.
