1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Base Convertible 2-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States
|
Barrett Jackson / Mecum quality restoration. Runs and drives like a new one, engine and Powerglide transmission have a couple thousand miles on them. It was built in Late May with the correct engine and transmission. The engine has all upgraded hypereutectic pistons, hardened seats, stainless valves, etc. to run standard pump gas. 283 with 2 bbl, power steering, push button radio, electric wipers with washer. Time for a new owner, I literally have too many trophies and too little time to enjoy this awesome car. Very fair reserve, check out the 2014 Dallas Mecum auction, (two days ago), one without the original transmission sold for 60k on day one, anyone who knows these cars knows the value. This is a nut and bolt, frame off restoration. This car was very solid to start with and disassembled, media blasted and epoxy primed. It was then painted with Sikkens base and three coats of clear, with 45 hours of wet sanding and buffing, the car looks like a new lacquer job with the durability of base/clear. The hood, doors and trunk open and close perfectly, with correct gaps. The undercarriage is correctly painted urethane based red oxide primer, with correct frame black. Convertible top frame was disassembled, rebuilt, and painted the correct Highland Green. The car is correct down to the clutch head screws that hold the fuel sender in the tank. It was restored to classic Chevy guidelines. Can send more detailed pictures if necessary. I reserve the right to end this auction early as I have it listed locally. Thanks for looking, please let me know if you have any question, thank you, Craig. On Sep-11-14 at 06:04:04 PDT, seller added the following information: To all who are watching/bidding on my vehicle. It has come to my attention that some watchers, one in particular, believe that my description of 'Barrett Jackson/Mecum quality' tells of an average, at best restoration. As I am not "a true insider, or a collector", as I was called by this E-bay member, I was not aware that describing my car as Barrett Jackson/Mecum was an insult to my car! I do know, however, that any auction has it's faults, and while I have never been to one of them, I have seen some very nice and high quality auction cars in person. So, I am not evading, or coming to some odd conclusions about my car, so if you have any questions about my car, feel free to ask, and if you are the high bidder, fly here or have a private inspection done before completing the transaction. As for all who have been stung by the actions of sellers in the past, remember that 'what comes around, goes around'. Thanks, Craig. E-mail me and I will give you my number, or I will call you..Thanks. |

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
