You are bidding on a show stopping, crowd pleasing, gorgeous example of a 1957 Chevrolet 2 Door Factory V8 with Bel Air Trim. Car underwent a complete restoration 3 years ago that included New PPG Base Coat Clear Coat, New Interior, New 468 Big Block, Rebuilt T-10 4 Speed, Rebuilt 8.5 Rear, New Fuel System, New Brakes, New Suspension, New Glass, New Chrome, New Stainless and Emblems, New Wiring Harness, New Vintage A/C, just about everything was gone through and replaced, there has only been 3000 miles put on the car since restoration mostly driven to shows and a lot of trophies have been won.

Paint is PPG Base Coat Clear Coat, it was done right everything was removed taken down to metal and any rust which wasn’t much was cut out and metal was welded in, car is laser straight and has a showroom shine, no bondo, no waves, no rust, and all the gaps and panels align and fit as they should. All the weatherstrippings were replaced when the car was painted. 

The 468 was Dynoed at 373 Horse and 417 Torque to the rear wheels and consists of the following components Carburetor is a Holley 750 with Mechanical Secondaries and was completely gone thru with #72 jets in the front and #79 jets intalled in the rear and all blue non-stick gaskets were used, Edelbrock Ceramic Intake, Oval Port Heads with Oversize Valves Installed, Comp 282 Duration .555 Lift Camshaft, Forged Crank, Forged H-Beam Connecting Rods, Forged Pistons, New Ceramic Headers, Mallory Ignition, new chrome 100 Amp alternator, March Brackets, Engine compartment is completely chromed out with stainless throughout, and always draws a large crowd, Vintage A/C was added for those hot Summer days and blows Ice-Cold. Chrome Fire Extinguisher was added and custom whistle horns. Brakes were converted to Disc and are all new and stop extremely well. Insulation was added to the hood as well to help cut down on the heat.

Trans is a complete rebuilt Super T-10 with 2.43 1st Gear, 1.61 2nd , 1.23 3rd , 1.00 4th, New High Performance Clutch, Pressure Plate, and Throwout Bearing were installed, Hurst Linkage with Hurst Shifter give it that old school shift, New Driveshaft was installed, Rear is a 8.5 that was completely redone with 3:27 Richmond Gears, Eaton Posi, Hardened Axles, Heavy Duty Bearings and Seals. With the 3:27 gears and T-10 the tall 4th gear is like overdrive.

Interior was completely redone with new seats front and rear, new gauges speedometer needs to be hooked up, new wiring harness was installed, new headliner, new door panels front and rear, Vintage A/C was added and blows ice cold, new carpet with new heat insulation, new package tray, new vintage style radio with modern FM was added with new speakers, new emblems and new modern seatbelts were added for safety.  

All the lenses were replaced, Chrome and Stainless were replaced and are in superb condition and show minimal wear, the back bumper shows very minor surface rust and the corner shows slight sun fade but not really noticeable I am just picky but as you can tell from the pictures it is still extremely nice and not noticeable, all the glass was replaced with custom etching done on the passenger windows. All the emblems and interior trim were done in 14K Gold plating and look amazing even the Chevrolet V emblem on the trunk was done in 14K Gold and third brake light incorporated.

Entire fuel system was replaced with new gas tank, new fuel lines front to back, new Holley blue electric fuel pump, new Holley regulator, and the carb was completely gone through as mentioned earlier.

Cooling system consists of custom built 5 Quart radiator with heavy-duty water pump, new hoses, new electric fan was added because of Vintage A/C, doesn’t run hot never got above 200 with A/C on in rush hour traffic. 

Full 3”exhaust with crossover and Flowmaster 3 chamber 50 series mufflers give it that deep rumble and with the cam everyone turns to look at this beauty, if you do not like attention you will not like this car.

Suspension was all redone with all new bushings, completely rebuilt front end, new heavy duty 5 leaf springs in rear, new front disc brakes as mentioned earlier were added, new shocks and springs, etc. New Period Correct Smoothies were just installed with New Tires. 

Underneath is super solid as is the trunk and floor pans, any rust was cut out and replaced correctly which wasn’t much, and then the entire undercarriage was painted jet black and cleared over to preserve it.

I have 3 folders full of paperwork and receipts that go with the car including all the original Manuals and Instructions for everything installed. 

I will let the 85 pictures do the talking from here but you will not find a nicer 57 Chevy for the money, if you have been in the market for one you do not want to overlook this gem. Any questions call Frank 863-381-3499 I have a clear Florida title in my name, I welcome and encourage local inspections as the car is as advertised, as with any classic it is sold as-is. I have owned this car for 3 years and bought it right after it was restored, it is coming out of my personal collection and only reason for selling it is I just got a 1960 Corvette and want to finish it out. Once again you will not find a nicer Tri-Five Chevy for the money, good luck bidding and thanks for viewing.

2014 Chevy Silverado High Country spied wearing trappings of new luxury trim

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

Spy photographers have spotted the new Chevrolet Silverado High Country and GMC Sierra Denali out on public streets for a little testing. From the looks of things, the Silverado will receive a much-differentiated front fascia along with special badges and those honking 20-inch chrome wheels. Expect to find a more posh interior as well. Likewise, the Sierra Denali will wear a tweaked nose with the familiar Denali bling. The one of the GMC trucks spotted here rolls on 21-inch gunmetal wheels instead of the 20-inch chrome pieces of the High Country.
Word has it both trucks will go on sale after the Texas State Fair this summer. While General Motors hasn't said for certain what we can expect to find under the hood, we'd be surprised to see anything outside of the range of engines found in the standard Silverado and Sierra models. That means buyers should be able to get their hands on the efficient, 23-miles per gallon 5.3-liter V8.

Is your new-car warranty good at the race track?

Mon, Feb 27 2017

We've all heard the horror stories. Your buddy knows a girl that was dating a guy whose best friend's brother once broke his brand-new, recently purchased performance car while making runs at a drag strip or laps at a track day, and the manufacturer wouldn't cover the repair under warranty. True story? Urban legend? Complete crap? Yes, no, maybe. One thing's for sure: Automotive warranties have always come with caveats. In 1908, an ad in the Trenton Evening Times clearly stated: "All Ford Cars Guaranteed for One Year." Although it changed over time, by 1925 the Ford New Car Guarantee only covered 90 days on material and 30 days on labor, and it clearly stated that that there was "No guarantee whatever on Fan Belts, Glass, Bulbs, Wiring, Transmission, Bands, Hose Connections, Commutator Shells, Rollers, Spark Plugs or Gaskets." Whether or not Ol' Henry would pay to fix your Model T if you broke it shaving a tenth off your lap time at the local board track seems to be lost to history. We're guessing no. But what about today? Do new-car warranties in 2017 cover cars when they are driven on race tracks? We researched the warranties of 14 auto brands to find out, and the answer is yes, no, maybe, depending on the brand, in some cases the model, and whether or not your car is modified from stock. Acura has been out of the high-performance car game for a number of years, but jumps back into the party in 2017 with its hybrid-powered $173,000 NSX supercar. And Acura's warranty, as well as Honda's, clearly states that it does not cover "the use of the vehicle in competition or racing events." View 33 Photos So we asked Sage Marie, Senior Manager of Public Relations for Honda and Acura. "If the car is stock, the warranty covers it on a track just as it does on the street. No question," he told us. "However, if the car is modified, say with slick tires or other components that would put higher stresses on the vehicle's parts and systems, then we would have to investigate the circumstances further." Marie went on to say the same would be true for any Acura model or Honda vehicle, including the new 2017 Honda Civic Si. This became a common theme. Chevrolet actually started this practice with the fifth-generation Camaro on the high-performance ZL1 and Z/28 models.

Audi S4 drivers are the most accident-prone, insurance report says

Sun, Jun 25 2023

Culling data from more than 4.6 million automobile insurance applications, researchers at the Insurify insurance comparison marketplace picked a winner — or more to the point, a loser — in its determination of the car model with the most accidents so far in 2023: the Audi S4. Why does the sporty, luxury-class German sedan rank so high (or so low)? The organization found that S4 drivers, piloting a car with almost 350 horsepower, are among those who collect the most speeding tickets, and that they get into accidents at a rate 54 percent higher than the national average. If the S4 isnÂ’t a surprise with an at-fault accident rate of 11.7 percent, consider the “family friendly” brand that appears three times on the Insurity list: Subaru. It is represented by three models, including the turbocharged WRX and XV Crosstrek, and at the better-performing bottom of the list, the Subaru Impreza, with an accident rate of 10.3 percent.  In 2023, 7.6 percent of U.S. drivers were involved in at least one at-fault accident in the prior seven years. For drivers of cars on this list, the average at-fault accident rate was 10.5 percent, meaning these drivers are 1.4 times as likely to have an at-fault accident on record. According to its statement, the Insurity data science team explored key safety features, driver behavior, and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) evaluations to pinpoint possible reasons behind these carsÂ’ high accident rates. Following is the list, counting down to the models with most reported accidents: 10. Subaru Impreza (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.3 percent; MSRP base model): $19,795) 9. Kia Niro (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4 percent; MSRP base model): $26,590) 8. Chevrolet Silverado LD (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4%, MSRP base model): $34,500) 7. Subaru XV Crosstrek (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.5 percent, MSRP 6. Subaru WRX.(percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.7% MSRP base model): $29,605) 5. Toyota GR86 (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.8 percent MSRP base model): $29,900) 4. Hyundai Veloster N (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.9 percent; MSRP base model): $32,500) 3.
