One of the most important things to know about this restoration is that it is done on an original V-8 car. Most '57 2-door sedans were six-cylinder cars from the factory. If you inquire from most advertisers of 150 models, regardless of their being original or modified cars, you will find that the car started life as a six-cylinder. Another factor of this 150 is that it was also a surf green car from the factory. Now for the restoration.

It is a rotisserie restored car. Stripped and repainted to surf green and white. The floor pans had some rust, so I replaced the entire floor from firewall to rear bumper with a one-piece 'All Steel' floor. The interior is a C.A.R.S. replacement original. The interior, dash, column, and steering wheel are factory correct. All '57 150 models had the same interior colors. The dashes were black regardless of body color. All rubber, wiring, glass and chrome are new. Stainless is polished to show quality condition. I consider the car to have only two options: the two-four motor and electric wipers. All other items have delete plates.

The engine and heads were rebuilt. The engine block is stamped correctly as a 283 cubic inch, 270 HP motor. The block, heads, and intake are all 1957 components. The two carburetors were rebuilt and correctly colored by Bob Kuntz. The bat-wing air cleaner is correct, and the 3-speed and rear end were rebuilt. The exhaust system is aluminized, is '57 correct, and was purchased from Shafer's Classics in Tampa, FL. The tires are black-wall radials and are the correct size. The steel wheels are '57 correct. They are 14-inch solid wheels, meaning no dust slots.

This 150 is correctly restored using correct nuts, bolts, body mounts and clips. The '57 runs and drives very well but as of this ad, the restoration has only two miles on the odometer.

I have restored over twenty-five 1957 Chevrolets - sedans and hardtops, but mostly convertibles. All were body-off cars. Usually I will keep one for a little while, sell it, and look for another to restore. I enjoy the search for the cars, the teardown and the reassembly. Unfortunately, I can't keep them all. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to pull the listing at any time.

Good luck in your bidding.

Just the right Camaro can change your life

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Not many people can say that their car directly motivated them into a career, but that's exactly the case for Adam Martin and his 1968 Chevrolet Camaro that he calls Lucy. Martin bought the pony car in primer when he was just 16, and it helped foster his profession in restoring classic cars. Beyond just being a very cool ride for a teenager, every change to Lucy was an opportunity to hone a new automotive skill for Martin. Whether figuring out how to paint a car or building the 454-cubic-inch (7.4-liter) big block V8, the Camaro offered a platform for experimentation. This latest episode of Petrolicious gets personal about the bond between man and machine for this 18-year ongoing project. And even if the story doesn't immediately grab you, Lucy has a great voice and can do a mean burnout.

EcoCar3 will convert Camaro to bitchin' eco rides

Sat, Apr 26 2014

In the 47-year-history of the Chevrolet Camaro, there have been countless college-age kids spending a ton of time getting under the hood and souping 'em up. Now, General Motors is adding a twist to the concept by donating 16 Camaros for the EcoCar challenge that puts university teams together to wring out better fuel-efficiency out of various vehicles. No word on whether there will be donuts on anyone's lawn, as suggested by 80's punks the Dead Milkmen, but the idea's never a bad one. EcoCar3 will feature 16 teams such as Arizona State, Penn State, Ontario's University of Waterloo and, of course, Detroit's Wayne State University. They'll spend the next four years "[reducing] environmental impact, while maintaining the muscle and performance expected from this iconic American car," as the EcoCar organizers say. The goal is to maintain body design and safety standards while boosting efficiency and lowering emissions, but the actual process is far more complicated than that description suggests. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Bosch are among the sponsors of the contest, which is also put on by the US Department of Energy and managed by Argonne National Laboratory. Penn State won Year Two of the three-year EcoCar 2 competition with its E85 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle converted out of a Chevy Malibu. The grand-prize winner of EcoCar2 will be announced in June. Check out the EcoCar3 website and see the announcement video below for more details. This content is hosted by a third party.

Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.
