What we have is another project offered by the Toy Factory Auto Restorations and Custom paint. Its a 54 Chevy Belair 2 door sedan with a great running 235 inline 6 cylinder engine and a three speed manual transmission on the column. It runs and shifts perfect. New starter. Clutch is good. The car is a prime candidate for someone handy and looking to save some money and do some work urself. I will do my best to describe the good and also the work that still needs to be done. First off, the car is recently painted with base/clear. Its a very nice paint job put over fairly decent body work. Its very presentable, but not a perfect job. The body work was already done when we recieved it. All we did was the paint. The floors have been repaired in the past using the correct pans. I dont know the extent of the body work, but i am revealing that it has had rust repair. The door jams and truck rails have been painted also. The brakes work with a slight pull to the right at first. Several new brake lines. Probably needs some adjusting. The windshield and rear window are good as are the rear side glass. Both door glass and one vent glass are cracked. The interior is where u are saving ur money on the purchase price of the car. It needs to be completely refurbished. The dash is good, just need to be repainted. No headliner, no carpet, I do have the door panels but the are very worn but still have the stainless u will need for the new ones. There is no front seat, but the rear seat is there and can be recovered. I do have an S10 seat in the car to move it around, u are welcome to have it with the auction. The exhaust is fine and doesnt show any signs of leaks. I put decent tires on the car and a real nice set of 56 chevy hubcaps on the car. I only have one 54 hubcap but it will go with the car. I have all the inside window trim. The wiring, as far as the lights, will need to be checked and hooked up. All the stainless trim seems to be here with the exception of the hood emblem and one headlight ring. The stainless and chrome are in driver condition. I do have the rear bumper, but not the mounting brackets. U can see that after paint that we have assembled most of the exterior of the car, but do to the fact that we are selling it as a project car, there is still more work to be done. The underneath will need some minor repairs as far as rust. For example, the inner rocker panels need replaced, and there is a few spots some mounts. There is some minor spots in the trunk also, but u can see in the photos that its not to bad. The car is still a 6 volt system. You can see that we have started the auction at a price that would usually only cover the paint job. I am listing it with no reserve also, so basically, ur getting a car with a new paint job that runs and drives, for the price of just the paint. So if u are not afraid of doing the finishing work ur self, or willing to drive it the way it is after u put the interior together, then i think this a great car to start with. As an added bonus, i will put a low "buy it now" for quick sale. ALSO, if u use the "buy it now" to purchase the car, i will throw in a set of rear fender skirts with the car. I hope i have described the car enough to make u feel confident on what u are getting. I do have the car for sale locally and will end the auction if it sells. Im including my personally number for serious inquiries about the car. 989-670-2700. Thanks for looking and God bless

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
