Up for sale is my 1964 Chevy Belair surf wagon. This is the 9 passenger model and has the rear facing seat. This car was recently finished so everything is new and fresh. The exterior of the wagon is original and has not been changed or clearcoated. It has modest pinstriping and some small scallops. The body is super solid and has no rust through. Just great surface patina. The floors are 100% solid along with the body/frame mounts. All doors open and shut like new, no sagging. Full air ride "fast bag" suspension. This car lays out real nice. Air lift Dominator bags - 2600 up front, 2500 in the rear. Dual chrome Viair 480c compressors, 1/2" SMC valves, Firestone tank. The air ride switches are integrated into the dash where the center air vent used to be. An air pressure gauge to monitor tank PSI was molded into the drivers side air vent. All the air ride equipment is hidden under the rear facing seat. Completely out of site but very accessible of needed. An Optima yellow top battery is located in the rear spare tire compartment. The entire car has been re-wired with a brand new 18 circuit painless wiring harness. Vintage 14" supreme wheels are wrapped with skinny whitewall radial tires. Wheels have custom bullet center caps. Tires are brand new with about 300 miles on them. A 350ci. engine was just installed along with a turbo350 trans. New dual exhaust. Shifting is done with a custom Gennie shifter (buttonless) that sports an old wheel from a longboard style skateboard. Under the hood is very clean. Freshly painted matte black. All wiring is hidden. Motor has vintage polished Cal-Custom valve covers with Mooneyes breathers and air cleaner. Polished intake, chrome headers, etc. Interior is awesome. It has brand new carpet. Dash and metal trim parts were sanded and painted an ivory/cream color. Steering wheel is modified and has matching bullet center cap that wheels have. Seats have been professionally re-covered in Mexican serape blankets. Door panels are wrapped in burlap coffee-bean sacks from South America. The headliner is actual bamboo. The middle and rear facing seats fold down flat so you can load a ton of stuff (music/band gear, tools, parts, etc.) so this wagon is ideal for business owners, musicians, etc. The car has a brand new Kenwood stereo with Ipod hook up. 4" Kenwood speakers were added to the front kick panel. Kenwood 6x9s are located between the two rear seats. The brakes are all freshly rebuilt. All the glass is good with no cracks. Even the rear power window works. In my opinion, this car needs nothing. It's a hop in it and go deal. This car is adult owned and very well built. It looks great the way it sits and gets a ton of attention wherever I go. The body is super straight and solid so it wouldn't take a whole lot of bodywork/ paint to finish the outside and make this a show car. I prefer it how it is since it's only original once and has a ton of character this way. If you're looking for a great So-Cal style surf wagon, this is the car for you. I am selling this car to finish up another project but am not forced to sell. I would consider trading for 32 Fords, 66-67 Chevelles, Shelby Cobras, or chopped/bagged 50's cars. Nothing foreign, no bikes, no boats, etc. I like older stuff so prefer nothing newer. Please email for additional info, I'm sure I'm forgetting some details. I have a clear Ohio title in my name. The car is located about 25 miles north of Cincinnati Ohio. I will ship the car overseas once all funds have cleared the bank. I reserve the right to end the auction early. I will do a buy-it-now for the right price. Please email me to discuss. 0-feedback bidders must contact me prior to bidding or bids will be cancelled.
Thanks for looking.

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
