Up for auction is my 1957 Chevy Belair Sport Coupe. This car was recently taken out of storage after 28 years!


Recently underwent extensive mechanical repairs.
Here are the highlights of what was done:
New cap, rotor, wires fuel filter, rebuilt the 650 Holley carb. Replaced the fuel pump, fuel lines, fuel tank, straps and fuel sender. Replaced valve covers with new Corvette covers.

All the brakes were done, wheel cylinders , brake lines, brake hoses, brake shoes, rebuilt master cylinder. The rear end was rebuilt, replaced bearings ,seals And gaskets gear is 355:1.
The wheels and tires were replaced with newer Cragars and tires, the old wheels , hub caps and fender skirts are available.

The interior on this car is in great condition and is all original except for the carpet was replaced. The dash and trim still has its original paint and it looks great, all of the interior stainless is in excellent condition. Everything works as it should, it has aftermarket gauges installed under the dash and the dash is not cut up in any way. The dash lights, dome light, indicators, heater and 8 track all still work. The clock does not work and the am radio works intermittently. Turn signals, horn, brake lights, headlights, electric wipers all work as well. Glass is all in excellent condition.

This car is a blast to drive and is very dependable. It goes down the road straight and has plenty of power from the 327 V-8 four barrel and Turbo 350 trans. the engine runs smooth and looked rebuilt when the valve covers were replaced. It is spotless inside and does not smoke. I put on over 600 miles since it came out of storage.

You can drive and enjoy this car while restoring it.
The frame is solid. The floors, rocker panels and quarter panels were worked on by an amateur body man and will need to be redone. There are some body supports that also need attention. Although there are rust issues with the floors and body supports, the car is still safe to operate as it has a full frame and it is in good shape. The trunk floor is in good condition, as I saw it when the fuel tank was replaced. The side panels in the trunk were patched as well. It looks like there was minimal rust on the sides and the previous owner used fiberglass to patch the rust and under coated over it.

Hood, doors , trunk, roof, firewall is all in very nice condition.
All of the exterior stainless is in good shape and the front bumper is a one piece California bumper. All of the trim on this car can be reused and or restored. There is very little on this car that needs replacement.

I am careful to explain all of the good and bad about my listings, I would rather loose a sale than have someone disappointed in their purchase. My feed back is now and has always been 100 percent. I will answer any and all questions honestly and to the best of my ability. I highly encourage you to come and see the vehicle or have it inspected prior to bidding. 

The car is being sold As-Is Where is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer and a $500.00 non refundable deposit is required within 48 hours of auction end.

 Car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time if the car sells. 

Car is sold with a Connecticut bill of sale as Connecticut does not issue titles for vehicles over 25 years old.

LOW RESERVE! GOOD LUCK BIDDING.

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.

Chevy working on production Impala Midnight Edition

Sat, Dec 13 2014

To put together the Impala Blackout concept for SEMA, Chevrolet didn't need to go much further than its accessories catalog. The in-house connection is what could make it possible for Chevy to get a production version of the Blackout into dealers this model year, with its few bits of chrome trim and dark detailing on the 19-inch aluminum wheels set into an abyss of gloss black paint, black Bowtie, grille surround, rear spoiler and mirror caps. The interior is black leather, with stainless steel for the sill plates and pedals, and an 11-speaker Bose audio system, and it gets the optional 305-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6. The brand's marketing director for cars and crossovers, Steve Majoros, told Edmunds that it could come in late spring, and that it will be called "Midnight Edition." Majoros didn't give any indication of pricing or if the production car will be spec'd out like the concept. If you simply don't want to wait for late spring, you could work your DIY mojo by putting one together the same way Chevrolet did: give the accessories catalog a workout. Related Video:

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
