1957 Chevrolet 150 2 Door Sedan Restomod on 2040-cars
Republic, Missouri, United States
Up for sale is my newly restored 1957 Chevrolet 150 sedan. This is the model that the Black Widow Nascar racers were made from. I've gone from a rolling body and installed a LT-1 Chevrolet Corvette motor out of a 1969 Corvette that is fully built and has a mild cam...rated at 360HP stock, but it's not stock. I've mated it to a Muncie M-20 4 speed that is stroked with a Hurst Competition plus shifter, going to a new 3.55 geared rearend. This car is a ground up, body on frame restoration. I wanted a full restoration for a driver, not a trailer queen. Here's a quick list of what has been done to the car:
-It's got power disc brakes up front, new drum brakes in the back with new brake lines. -poor man's power steering that turns effortlessly -air conditioning that is ice cold. -New interior stitched here locally in Republic, new carpet, headliner, and door panels. -car has been insulated with DynaMat type material in doors, trunk, up the firewall, in the package tray and it's tight and quiet... -New glass all around. Original stainless in good shape. -All chrome replaced... -tubular a-arms, front/rear roll bars, all new suspension, undercoated front to back -Ididit tilt steering column -New Aluminum radiator -New paint that's about a year old in India Ivory and Tropical Turquoise -New gas tank aluminum and gas lines.' -brand new Firestone white letter tires mounted on American mags Torque Thrust 15x8s -Electric fuel pump to feed the Edelbrock 600 electric choke carb on a Weiand intake -new Billet dash, radio am-fm...heater delete. Original clock that works, 1959 Impala steering wheel in new chrome and paint, Dakota Digital dash...wow, too much too list...email me for more details -that's a quick rundown, but this car has been gone through from front to back including the trunk. These cars are getting very rare. You don't see many 150s in this kind of condition. Bid to own. This car has been totally taken apart except from off the frame. New everything. Floors with new metal welded in and the same with the trunk. Car is solid and no rust in the body. Any imperfections were eliminated and new metal replaced any bad areas. Car is a two thumbs up everywhere it cruises to. adding two new videos. The first shows the car on the first start up out of the garage. Since then have changed the wheels as shown in the uploaded pics. (don't worry, the shirt is stained, but clean...product of working on these cars...LOL) Second shows taking the grandkids for a spin around the block..enjoy..

Recharge Wrap-Up: LAPD gets Zero MMX, Chevy's new inverter, Hyundai Tucson's new powertrains
Wed, Jul 16 2014Some police in Los Angeles will be riding Zero MMX electric motorcycles on duty. The LAPD is adding the fully electric police/military all-terrain bikes to its patrol fleet. According to Officer Steve Carbajal of the department's off-road unit, "It costs less than 50 cents to charge compared to using gallons of gas, maintenance is simple, and the community appreciates how quiet they are." The electric bikes, with their lack of noise and a headlight the rider can turn off, also have the benefit of stealth, giving the officers what Carbajal calls "an added tactical advantage." The MMX also has swappable batteries, is designed for quick ignition and has power reserve capabilities so the rider won't be caught with a dead battery while chasing down a perp. Read more at Ride Apart. Remember when it seemed like we'd never run out of oil, and giving your buddy five bucks for gas was actually a worthwhile gesture? Drivers of classic cars in Detroit were able to fill up their tanks at gas prices corresponding to their model year, thanks to a promotion by Hagerty Insurance for National Collector Car Appreciation Day on July 11. That meant prices from 21 to 90 cents a gallon, as the cars that showed up ranged from the years 1929 to 1989. That's about as affordable as charging your EV. Head over to Autoweek for more details and some photos from the event. The next-generation Chevrolet Volt will likely benefit from a new inverter being developed by General Motors. GM is about two-thirds of the way through the development of the new inverter, which should be ready in January 2016. The inverter, which has a peak output of 55 kilowatts a continuous output of 33 kilowatts, will be adaptable for use in other GM vehicles. Chevrolet is working to reduce the Volt's production costs by $10,000 per vehicle, which should make it more affordable, and the new inverter could help reach that goal should it make its way into the car. Read more at Green Car Reports. Hyundai is likely planning some interesting powertrain changes for the 2016 Tucson, says Green Car Reports. Plug-in hybrid? Maybe. Diesel? Probably not. "We are covering the waterfront on all alternative fuel strategies, from standard hybrid, to plug-in, battery-electric, and fuel cell," says Hyundai's US Chief Dave Zuchowski.

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
