53 Chevy 2 Door Post Sedan 210 Original Patina Very Solid Clear Title on 2040-cars
Lothian, Maryland, United States
|
I've looked at a hundred of these cars and this one is very nice as far as they go. The paint is shot, the chrome is shot, the patina is excellent. I wanted to build a hot rod gasser out of this with shiny paint and chrome but it's too good to touch.If it doesn't sell I will upgrade the drive train, repair the front seat, and replace all of the chrome. The worn original paint just looks too cool to disturb. The front fenders have been blended at one time or another, which looks fine with mostly original paint every where else. No one has ever spray bombed the firewall and the jambs are factory fresh. The trunk floor is super solid with original paint under the original trunk mat. Same goes for the floors with original rubber mat up front and carpet in the rear. When I got this car a year ago it still had the original dealer installed seat covers that had been there for 60 years. I removed them to find all of the original factory upholstery is still there. The front bottom cushion has a split in the cover and the top layer of foam is brittle, replace the one inch thick foam and about 3 yards of reproduction cloth and you are back in business. All of the interior pieces are original and still there although faded and somewhat distressed from age. Door panels are good but old as is the headliner with no rips but dirty looking from age. Pat the gas 3 times it starts right up and runs like a top. This car is very tight driving, only needs a few tweaks to motor on for several more years. The wiring harness has never been cut on or messed with. All of the original bolts are where they should be and all the rubbers and weather strips are present. This looks like a well cared for 56,000 mile car. Oil change stickers in the door jamb back to 1957! Radio delete, wind up clock works, fuel gauge works, ammeter works, oil pressure gauge works, temp gauge does not. New brakes, exhaust and battery before I got it. Brake pedal sometimes hangs up, should be easy fix. This car is tagged and insured, I drive it regularly. 53s and 54s are very popular and desirable but hard to find in this condition. A better one costs 15K or more. There is a half dollar size rust hole under the front seat on the drivers side and a silver dollar size hole under the back seat on the passenger side. The body mount under this hole has some rust. That is the only rust in the car. It has never had a patch panel anywhere. Don't miss the opportunity to have an ultra cool driver with real patina .Cragars are currently on the car and go with it. I ran the stock wheels and then the Moon discs for a short time but I like the Cragars the best. Call 240 375 4329 with any questions. Thanks.

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green
Fri, 01 Mar 2013With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.
GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
