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.

Stop-start standard in four-cylinder 2015 Chevrolet Impala
Fri, May 23 2014Chevrolet has announced that it will include stop-start technology as standard in the entry level 2015 Impala. The result is a nearly five-percent improvement in city fuel economy, also known as one mile per gallon, up to 25 mpg, combined. The 3.6-liter V-6 Impala will not feature stop-start. The 2015 Impala comes equipped with Chevrolet's 2.5-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine, which will also offer 22 mpg in the city, and 31 on the highway. The 3.6-liter V-6 Impala will not feature stop-start and the mild-hybrid eAssist model from the 2014 MY, which got 29/25/35 combined/city/highway mpg, has been discontinued. Chevrolet spokesman Chad Lyons told Green Car Reports that not even one percent of the 2014 Impalas purchased were the Eco model. So Chevy is trying something different. With a seamless driving experience in mind, the new Impala's stop-start tech features software that governs under what conditions the feature will activate. The engine won't shut off if the car has not reached a speed of six miles per hour, so the start-stop won't be cycling during traffic jams. It can also fire the starter even if the engine has not come to a full stop, which quickens reaction time, particularly in instances of what Chevrolet calls "change-of-mind events." The stop-start function uses information about cabin temperature and humidity as well as battery charge to help determine whether or not to shut off the engine. The 2015 Impala has been engineered to reduce NVH, which will also help create a smoother stop-start experience for occupants, Chevy says. Motor mounts have been updated, and a burlier starter motor will help restart the engine after a stop. The Impala follows the 2014 Malibu as Chevrolet's second vehicle to feature stop-start tech. The four-cylinder model currently makes up over 30 percent of Impala sales. The 2015 Impala will be available beginning this summer, with a base MSRP of $27,735 (including destination charges). And while one MPG isn't a huge difference, neither is the price increase of just $50 for a bit of eco-minded innovation. Read on for more details in the press release below. Chevrolet Makes Stop/Start Standard in 2015 Impala Technology improves city fuel economy by 5 percent 2014-05-22 DETROIT – Stop/start technology will be standard on the 2015 Impala base 2.5-liter ECOTEC® engine, an addition that improves the vehicle's city fuel economy by nearly 5 percent, or one mile per gallon.
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]
Sun, 26 Jan 2014If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.
