1957 Chevrolet 150 2dr Sedan on 2040-cars
Wellborn, Florida, United States

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. |

Opel's own ad shows Ampera-e beating Opels in drag race
Thu, Sep 8 2016The Opel Ampera-e isn't expected to set any world records on a quarter-mile drag strip. But when it comes to crossing a major boulevard, though, the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle will more than hold its own, potentially scaring inattentive pedestrians everywhere. According to a 35-second video posted by General Motors' Opel division, at least. Opel set up the Ampera-e against four other small-and-sporty vehicles, including racing versions of the Opel Adam and Opel Astra as well as stock versions of the Opel Insignia and Corsa (what, you expected a Corvette to be in there?). With the EV's off-the-line torque as a selling point, Opel showed the Ampera-e beating the other vehicles in a 30-meter (100-foot) drag race. Of course, the video also shows the EV getting passed by some of the others soon after, but the point was made. Opel doubled down by adding the tagline "Fun to Drive" at the end of the video. While Opel hasn't revealed the single-charge range of the Ampera-e, it should be roughly the same as the Chevrolet Bolt, which will be about 200 miles. In addition, the Ampera-e, like the Bolt in the US, will get 200 horsepower from its electric motor, and will be able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than seven seconds. The Ampera-e will debut at the 2016 Paris Motor Show later this month. General Motors said in February that Europe would get the Ampera-e by next year. Opel had previously used the Ampera name with the Euro version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Texas sues GM, saying it tricked customers into sharing driving data sold to insurers
Wed, Aug 14 2024Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against GM over years of alleged abuse of customers' data and trust. New car owners were presented with a "confusing and highly misleading" process that was implied to be for their safety, but "was no more than a deceptively designed sales flow" that surrendered their data for GM to sell. The suit contends that at no point was selling driving data ever even suggested as a possibility, putting GM in violation of the state's consumer protection laws. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking a jury trial and at least $10,000 per offense (every GM car sold in the state since 2015) and a hefty add-on of $250,000 in cases where the victim was over 65. Texas seems to be flying high after a recent $1.4 billion settlement from Meta over other privacy concerns. This may well be a way to solve any pending budgetary issues in the Lone Star State.
