1953 Chevrolet Bel Air Big Block Hotrod 4 Door Automatic Trans on 2040-cars
Elizabeth City, North Carolina, United States
|
This car was purchased last year with the intention of finishing the interior and driving it for long hours and vast miles, but work won't relent and the spare time has vanished. I have driven the car quite often and always get great remarks and warm memories from those that see her, but this 53 is never going to see completion with me. The car has a recently rebuilt .030" bored 454ci big block with magnum roller rockers,comp cam, high velocity oil pump, gear drive,edelbrock dual-plane intake, holley street avenger carb, ported and polished heads, water pump and aluminum radiator. The TCI Street Fighter turbo 400 automatic trans is also a recent installation with it's own aluminum cooler mounted up front, and controlled with a B&M ratchet shifter. I was referred to a dyno sheet that showed approx. 420 horses at 530 ft/lb of torque for this engine. The body is pretty solid, the rear door outer handles have been shaved, but the doors open fine from the inside. the front seat are from a Lincoln LSC from the late 80's, and should be updated to something more suitable for this neat ride. The steering column is a GM tilt column with the ignition key mount. The interior has never been completed, and I felt there was no cause to impose my taste if I was just going to sell. The car is a fun driver, it has a half-keg for a fuel tank mounted in the trunk; and it is connected to a fuel gauge. She doesn't leak any fluids or burn any oil,and includes some spare components and goodies. Contact Mark with any questions or to set up a time for a go-around, my # is 252-340-2683.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.
GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
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.
