Up for auction is my '66 Belair 4dr with a strong running 283 V8. If you're looking for a car that's two tons of fun to drive or try the car show/cruise lifestyle, this is a perfect way to get in without dropping a bunch of cash. That's why I bought it and I had a blast! Now I'm ready to step up a level. The car never left me stranded. The body has filler and rust underneath (please see pics), but most of the mechanical items have been serviced or replaced (list is below). That's why I'm listing it as a driver, however I've recieved many compliments on it. You let go of the wheel and it goes straight down the road.
It has approx. 98,500 miles on the odometer (I'll update with actual miles tomorrow-haven't been in the garage in a couple weeks.) There are documents that show the engine was replaced at 86,280 miles with an engine that had 39,000 miles on it so real miles are around 51000-52000. Some interesting items included with the car are the original protecto plate, original owner's manual, 1966 Featured accessories book, and build sheet that was found under the rear seat. Decoding the VIN will tell you that it was built in Flint, MI as the 99,664th unit, it's a 4dr 6 pass. sedan with 119" wheelbase, 17 3/4' overall length, 78.6" wide with a 195HP 283V8 engine. Original Paint code is KK (Med. Turquoise/Artesian Turquoise). The current exterior is a flat version of that but interior paint is the original color and looks excellent.
Some of the items replaced/added just before I bought it a year ago include: Headlights, tail lights, tires, shocks, springs on all 4 corners, new gas tank/sending unit/and straps, front and rear brake lines, sway bar end links, water outlet/thermostat, fuel pump, filter, cleaned & rebuilt 2bbl carb, plugs, cap, rotor, wires, belts, hoses, clamps, K&N air cleaner, ceramic coated headers, custom dual exhaust w/flowmaster mufflers, dip stick, repainted valve covers and new gaskets, one new brake drum and 2 wheel cylinders. Since I've had it, the front driver's side of the bench seat has had the panels replaced and new foam underneath. Pretty much all the stuff that goes bad when a car sits has been addressed.
The interior is in very nice shape and is unmolested in the dash area. The glass is also in very good condition. It has power steering and manual drum brakes. The doors shut solid and all the windows roll up and down. All the door locks work. The spare tire in the pic was horrible so currently there is a 15" Z28 wheel and BFG tire in its place as I was eventually going to put 15" wheels on it. If I've forgotten anything, please ask questions and I'll add to this if I have more info. I'll be away 3/1 to 3/3 so if you post a question then, please be patient. I'll probably be able to answer from the road. Please bid smart and for the right reasons. The car is so much fun to drive and reliable but it is what it is. It has bondo and rust but I've had it garaged since I bought it and if anything, there is less rust on it now as I've touched it up underneath every time it was on the lift for an oil change. Please look at the pictures, they tell more than I can write here.
There is a $500 non refundable deposit due within 72 hours of auction end. I hate to do it, but I've had time and money wasted tending to buyers in the past who have outbid other bidders and defaulted. Balance of payment and pickup is due within 2 weeks of auction end. Balance of payment due in cash. Deposit can be paypal or money order as long as I can recieve it within 72 hours. In the event of inclimate weather or special circumstance, alternate pickup may be negotiated but payment is still expected within 2 weeks. If you are local and would like to see the car in person, drop me a line but remember, I am not near the car on March 1-3. The reserve is set to a much lower figure than my total investment in the car so it will definitely be a good deal for whomever gets it! Thanks for taking the time to read my ad.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]
Tue, 19 Mar 2013This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own
Tue, 22 Jan 2013It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.
