1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Sedan Resto Mod on 2040-cars
Big Bear City, California, United States
|
Up for bid is a 1957 Chevy Bel Air Sedan. I bought this car from the original owners daughter in 2007. She lived in the Los Angles area where the car spent most of its life. It was a nice driver and was black with a white top and was a 350/4 speed car. Also the car was featured in Motor Trend magazine in 1970. It was used in an article "Updating Your Power Train". They put a 69 corvette 350 motor, corvette rally wheels and the vett steering wheel and stereo in the car and did an article on it. The car still had the same set up when I bought it. So I started to fix a few things likes brakes and a coolant leak and next thing you know i pull the body off and do a frame off build on the whole car.
So here is a down and dirty on the car. Merlin 540 big block built by John Beck/Pro Machine in Chico Ca. The motor is purpose built as a fun street driver. Dyno tested to 640hp on pump gas. I have all receipts and specs as well as dyno sheets. Transmission is a turbo 400 with a Gear Vendors over and under drive unit which gives the car a 6 speed transmission. Rear end is a Currie Ford 9" posi with 4:11 gear ratio but note that in overdrive with the Gear Vendors unit on the rear end ratio drops to a 308. 4 link rear suspension with QA-1 coil overs at all for corners. Tubular front a-arms, 4 wheel disc brakes with a hydro boost braking system. Hydro boost braking is ran by the power steering pump and this car stops on a dime. Vintage Air conditioning in a custom leather interior stitched by Ron Mangus. Lexus electric front buckets, power windows, custom stereo by Stereo Bob using a Pioneer head unit, 5 channel amp,and 10" sub woofer. Auto Meter instruments watch the rpms, mph, oil psi, water temp, trans temp, volts, and fuel. Paint is PPG Blazing Copper done by Doug Starbuck of Starside Design in Riverside Ca. The Paint is flawless!! Fire wall is shave as well as fender well, rear deck lid and hood. Front and rear bumpers are shaved and rear bumper from a station wagon allowing the license plate to be mounted on the bumper rather than on the trunk lid. Halibrand rims with BFGs up front and Hoosier Pro Street radials in the rear. The rear was mini tubbed to fit the almost 13" wide rear tire. This car has been in only 4 car shows and the biggest to date the 2012 Grand National Roadster Show. The car received a participant award which places it in the top 5 of the semi custom class. There are only 250 miles on the car since completion. The car is amazing to drive. It has a vintage hot rod look with all the modern amenities of a resto mod. The sound from the engine through the 3" exhaust and Flowmaster mufflers is flat awesome! This car is a turn key driver that sounds amazing and has the power to back it up. I spent 4 years, countless hours and a grip of money building this car. If you are a serious buyer feel free to call me for more details. 714-402-1034 Please contact me prior to end of auction if you intend to buy the car. $1000 deposit via Paypal immediately following end of auction. All shipping to be worked out by buyer. |

Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump
Mon, 11 Feb 2013To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):

GM sees 'strong year' in 2018, then gold in Chevy Silverado for 2019
Tue, Jan 16 2018DETROIT — General Motors said on Tuesday it expects earnings in 2018 to be largely flat compared with 2017, but that profits should pick up pace in 2019 as its revamped line of high-margin pickup trucks hits the U.S. market. The 2018 earnings outlook was above market expectations, sending GM shares up more than 3 percent in premarket trading. "GM had a very good 2017 as we continued to transform our company to be more focused, resilient and profitable," GM Chief Executive Mary Barra said in a statement. "We are positioned for another strong year in 2018 and an even better one in 2019." GM and its Detroit rivals, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, are bringing on new trucks at a time when overall U.S. new vehicle sales have been falling, but truck sales continue to grow as consumers abandon passenger cars in favor of pickups, SUVs and crossovers. GM on Saturday fired a new round in the battle for profits from one of the U.S. auto industry's most lucrative segments when it showed a new generation of its Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck at the Detroit auto show. The new Silverado, a highlight of the event, is the successor to GM's best-selling vehicle in North America. Sales of the current Silverado rose nearly 2 percent to 585,000 vehicles in 2017. In the coming months, the company will also reveal a revamped GMC Sierra pickup truck. U.S. new vehicle sales fell 2 percent in 2017 after hitting a record high in 2016, and are expected to drop further in 2018 as interest rates rise and more late-model used cars return to dealer lots to compete with new ones. GM said on Tuesday that while it retools a factory in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, to make the new pickup trucks, it will shift some production to an Oshawa, Ontario, plant in order to avoid missing sales in a hot market for the vehicles. The No. 1 U.S. automaker said it will record a $7 billion non-cash charge for its fourth-quarter 2017 earnings related to deferred tax assets. GM said it expects capital expenditure in 2018 of around $8.5 billion, about $1 billion of which will go toward funding self-driving car technology. Last week, the company said it is seeking U.S. government approval for a fully autonomous car — one without a steering wheel, brake pedal or accelerator pedal — to enter the automaker's first commercial ride-sharing fleet in 2019. GM said it expects 2017 earnings per share at the high end of its previously forecast range of $6 to $6.50.
