1957 Chevy 2 Door Hardtop Bel Air, Excellent Driver! Very Affordable! on 2040-cars
Millville, New Jersey, United States
|
AT
LAST!!! A 57 Chevy that's affordable and doesn't need a ton of work! With great
regret, I must sell due to my health, medical bills and age. This ’57 hard top
is laser straight and finished off in the unforgivable color of black. The
mechanics of the car are excellent! It has a great running stock 350ci Chevy engine
with 4 barrel carb and NEW dual exhaust. The transmission is a turbo 350 and it
has a stock rear. The brake system is new with drum brakes and double chamber
master cylinder; it has air shocks on the back. The wipers are electric and it
has a new tinted windshield, all other glass is excellent. All gauges,
speedometer, heater, lights etc. work. Has nice radio with tape player. The
chrome is all great nothing needs replacing and features the one piece
California front bumper. The car is mildly customized with the tubular grill.
The wheels are NEW rally wheels with BFG radial raised white letter tires. The
interior is very presentable with one tear (patched) on driver seat back from a
screwdriver in pocket. Perfect red vinyl headliner, but the dash could use a repaint.
The undercarriage is average with the typical repaired areas of use and age
with NO safety or structural issues, definitely not a trailer queen. I wouldn't
hesitate to drive this car anywhere, it has excellent road manners and is a
pleasure to drive (except for all the horn blowing and thumbs up from
spectators). You don't get that with your new $40k car. The car has no air or
power steering but runs proudly up the highway with the best of them. Now for
the bad news: the bottom of both front fenders have been repaired (rust) and
over the years need it again, the passenger side quarter panel has a small bad
spot but those are the only rust issues I see. I experimented on the trunk lid
and as you can see it didn't work out it was a paint thing not an accident and
the deck lid needs to be repainted (there is a small section that is a lighter
shade of black). This is an excellent driver quality ‘57 and I've received many
awards BUT DON'T BE FOOLED! The pictures don’t tell the true story on the
paint. A couple of feet back (not a 20 footer) this car looks pristine but up
on top of it you can see it's old lacquer that is starting to craze or as they
now say patina. If you want an excellent driver that you turn the key and go
and have fun this is it, if you want a pristine show car it must be repainted.
I'm not running my Chevy down but just being honest as I don't like bad surprises
myself. I have a very reasonable reserve (less than I got in it) and not the
national debt as other sellers. I've had the car for 5 years and was told it
needed paint when I got it but it's always been garaged and never got any worse.
I can't express enough: look at the car, ask the wife before bidding, and be ready
to purchase the vehicle should you be the lucky high bidder! You are
responsible for shipping and I will assist on this end the best I can. For no
nonsense questions call me at 856-327-0289 or 609-501-5192. Bid with confidence
and good luck winning! I hate to sell it but I must and I know I'll never be
able to own another ‘57 Icon. God Bless, John.

Body shop manager stole over $500,000 worth of government trucks and parts
Fri, Jan 27 2017The US Department of Justice announced yesterday that the manager of a collision and restoration business in Virginia admitted he helped misappropriate and sell vehicles and parts from the State Department. Specifically, he sold 12 Chevrolet Suburbans, a Hummer, and $7,500 worth of tires and wheels. He pled guilty to charges to commit theft of government property and wire fraud. He will likely see 18 to 20 months in prison, a fine of $4,000 to $40,000, and has already agreed to pay restitution of $416,020 and asset forfeiture of the same amount. According to the Department of Justice, the body shop manager, James Ratcliffe, worked with the owner of the business and a State Department official, both unnamed, to obtain the property. It started with the wheels and tires, which were delivered and sold on two occasions, one in 2011 and another in 2012. The trucks came later, and were sold throughout 2011 and 2013. Ratcliffe and the shop owner kept most of the profits, and shared some of the leftovers with the government official. In addition to the vehicles that were sold, the government official also gave Ratcliffe a pair of Suburbans for his own personal use. The Department of Justice estimated the total value of the SUVs at $96,400. In total, the group misappropriated $512,420 worth of property. Related Video:
GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production by more than 20%
Sat, Jun 13 2015General Motors' Orion Assembly plant in Michigan is seeing even more production cuts this year to further reduce inventories of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano. These latest adjustments mean layoffs for about 100 workers in phases starting in July. "GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand," the company said in a statement announcing the change. Through May, sales of the Sonic are down 28.5 percent to 29,082 vehicles, and the Verano is off 15.6 percent, with 15,279 sold this year. According to unnamed plant insiders speaking to Automotive News, the assembly rate is slowing at Orion Assembly from the current 33 cars an hour down to 26 an hour, a 21-percent reduction. GM is also reportedly going to keep the plant idle for three weeks during the normal summer shutdown, rather than the usual two. Earlier in the year, the factory was idled for two weeks due to excess supply of the Sonic and Verano. In March, it was closed again for several days for the same reason. The Orion Assembly plant is the future home to the line for the Chevy Bolt EV. GM Statement: GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand. A phased layoff of approximately 100 employees will begin in July 2015 and conclude by year-end.
