1957 Chevrolet Bel Air
-Rat Rod / Daily Driver
* Most important reason for selling* Need to sell quick to help pay for an overseas cancer treatment ($17,000) for my aunt with stage 4 breast cancer. Her appointment is August 7th. Only has a 1 month or 2 to live :(
On to the Bel Air:
Newly rebuilt Chevy 305, sounds good, short cherry bomb exhaust, 4 door, but the 2 rear doors are shaved smooth but they do open and close, has older flat black paint from previous owner. There is no on-going rust. All rust was stopped and repaired by him. The steel body had previous rust, but was replaced with fiberglass and bondo. (mostly where the backseat is, and a tiny bit round the bottom front doors and driver floor pan. The car has a new 700R transmission put it right before I bought it and rebuilt axles. The car has been lowered and has updated suspension. I put in a new gas tank, but when you top it off, it splashes out somewhere in the neck but doesn't leak. Front window is cracked, and one side window. No engine leaks NONE! No leaks in the driveway!, car runs great. Very reliable. I would drive it to another state! Its very solid! I work in the Gulf of Mexico in the oil and gas industry 8 months a year, so the car sits in the car port most of the time. Everytime I come home, it fires right up and I drive it to shows and cruise the beach. Tires are so so , you could go another year or two on the them. Lights, blinkers, turn signals, windows, door handles all work.
This car attracts attention and gets thumbs up where ever you go.
This car doesn't have any options except fog lights and oooga horn.
The temp gauge and tachometer gauge works, and the fuel gauge is kind of half off. but the other gauges do not work.
If you want to remember the old days and hop in and cruise, and maybe you would like a car that you can still drive while you work on it, then this car is for you.
I bought it the way you see it 2 years ago. I wanted something fun to drive and cruise in. My friends all have old cars like this.
I'm trying to tell you everything now, because I will be at work, and my father will have to take care of the sale for me while I'm out here in the Gulf.
No reserve, I have a few people interested in the car now, but some haven't come to view it. I have the right to end the auction early due to a local sale.
Shipping: I would help get the car shipped on your dime. The car is drivable and I would trust it to get me anywhere in the state.
$500 Non-Refundable deposit due 24 hours after aucton ending. The remainder must be paid in full before 7 days, or before or day you pick up the car. I do except cash, paypal (after it clears into bank). The title will be given to you after the money clears.

Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty
Tue, 05 Mar 2013We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra introduced
GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
