1957 Chevy 210, 4 Door, 245hp, 2x4 Carbs, 700r4 Trans on 2040-cars
Fayetteville, Texas, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Chevrolet
Drive Type: 700R4 Overdrive, Positrac rear end
Model: Bel Air/150/210
Mileage: 34,527
Trim: Two tone paint. Blue over blue.
This is a 1957 model 210, 4 door sedan. The car was restored in the mid 80s. It was painted the original colors Harbor blue and Larkspur blue. The plastic bubble seat covers were hand made for the interior. The exterior and interior were left in stock condition adding the sun visor and fender skirts (not installed, but go with the car). The chrome is in great condition with only the front hood trim showing signs of age. The stock radio was replaced with an aftermarket FM/casette unit without disturbing the dash, I don't have a cassette to see if it works. The car has the Kleenex dispenser, door handle guards, door window visors, electric wipers, dash mounted sun prism, heater and owners manual. From all outwards appearance the car is stock.
Over the years after the restoration the owner started adding upgrade features. A correct 245hp block was found and rebuilt using hardened seats in the heads. This is the 245hp version with solid lifter cam, 997 heads, centrifugal distributor with pertronix ignition installed. A correct numbers matching two four barrel carb and intake manifold were installed, with correct linkage and the domed top fuel filter. It uses the 3/8 fuel line from tank to carb. The tank and sender unit are new also. I do not have the batwing air cleaner. The cast iron manifolds were replaced with headers and a full aluminized exhaust system, with crossover pipe. There is a four core radiator installed with a five blade fan, the car doesn't overheat in parades. It uses a late model alternator and Optima battery.
The driveline has a 700R4 overdrive transmission. The rear gears are 3:55 posi track from a 62 Chevy with Strange axles. New rear springs. For stopping a power a four wheel disc brake system was installed. Because 15 inch rims were required for the disc rotors ( Chevy had 14 inch rims in 57) wheels from a 90s Chevy S-10 were used. This made us use wheel covers from a 56 Chevy (15") to replace the 57 14 inch covers. Steering is a power rack and pinion unit.
Please note, ebay requires an odometer number, the number showing on the car is 34527 but there is no way to verify it. In Texas if a vehicle is over 10 yrs old no matter what the mileage is the title comes back without the odometer reading. The restoration was done on a low mileage car in the 80s but its anybodys guess what the true mileage is.
In short if you check the Ecklers catalog the add on options with the labor it took to install them far exceeds the reserve price. Its like buying the options and getting the car free. The car has a current Texas inspection sticker. It drives well with good tires and in the four years I've owned it has placed in many car shows. The winning bidder must submit a $500 deposit through pay-pal within 48 hours. The balance can be paid when the car is picked up. Fayetteville is located west of Houston, southeast of Austin and east of San Antonio.

Motor Trend reveals 2016 Chevy Camaro as Car of the Year
Tue, Nov 17 2015The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro beat some very steep competition to earn the Golden Calipers as Motor Trend's Car of the Year. The magazine praised the sixth generation's fantastic engines, great handling, and lighter platform. "Our 2016 Car of the Year, the Chevrolet Camaro, is one of the finest driving vehicles in the world at any price," editor-in-chief Edward Loh said, "though its price is well within reach of the average consumer." The Camaro conquered some high-performance challengers to take the victory, including the Audi TT, Mazda MX-5 Miata, and Mercedes AMG GT S. It also bested technologically cutting-edge vehicles like the BMW 7 Series and Toyota Mirai. The latest Honda Civic rounded out the competition. To earn the prestigious award, nine judges evaluated the finalists in six categories: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. The Volkswagen Golf won last year. In an engaging story on Motor Trend's website, it explains what a revelation the new coupe is and that they consider the model the best production pony car ever. The piece is well worth a read. Motor Trend also handed out the Person of the Year honor to Subaru of America President and Chief Operating Officer Thomas Doll. It praised him for the Japanese brand's massive success in the US like tripling deliveries since 2007. "By any measure, the business Tom Doll leads is an outstanding success," editor-at-large Angus MacKenzie said. "And he is the person whose unique vision and quiet leadership made it happen."

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.
Buick Velite is a not-so-Volt-like plug-in hybrid concept for China
Mon, Nov 7 2016Is the Buick Velite a Volt by any other name? That's a question worth asking after General Motors said that the Buick Velite concept vehicle will make its global debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show later this month. GM says the car "will provide a template for upcoming models being launched under the Buick Blue new energy vehicle strategy." Whether that means the Velite is a variant of the second-generation of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in is open to interpretation. Some automotive publications, including Autoweek, are saying that's the case, but GM China doesn't mention the Volt in its press release, only saying that the car is a "high-performance" plug-in hybrid vehicle. As we know, GM doesn't use the "PHEV" descriptor for the Volt, which makes us thing the Velite's powertrain is more like the Cadillac CT6 PHEV. Either way, the concept was developed by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), which is a joint venture between GM and Shanghai-based SAIC. As far as the name, GM has been shopping the Velite moniker around for a while now. The automaker first used Buick Velite for the convertible concept vehicle it showed off at the 2004 New York Auto Show. More recently, GM in 2014 filed to use the name for the US variant of its Opel Cascada four-seat convertible model, which debuted in 2013. As for the second-generation version of the Volt, that model appears to be gaining favor in the US. Domestic sales of the Volt through October have surged 64 percent from a year earlier to more than 18,500 units. The new version boosted its all-electric range by 40 percent to 53 miles while increasing its power output by 20 percent.
