       I am offering my 1957 Chevy 210 2dr sedan project car for sale.  This is a restoration that I started and also collected a good amount of new parts for.  The car has a clean transferable NEW YORK registration in my name. (There are NO TITLES on NEW YORK CARS IN 1957, the regi is the LEGIT ownership. PAPERWORK CLEAR).

     This is what has been done.  The body was media blasted to the bare metal and put into epoxy prime.  What you see is what it is.  The passenger side has new sections welded into place as well the inner/outer rocker panel.  The car is still going to need metal work.  I have brand new front floor pans, brand new center hump for transmission as well as inner/outer rocker for driverside. The floor braces will need some attention.  The car DOES have the original floor in it for the most part but just like any typical 5-6-7 they have problem areas that need attention! Parts are very reasonable for these and this car is an easy fix, not a basket case. Chassis is great front to back.  Has original 3.56 ratio open rear (car was manual 3 speed 6 cylinder when new).

     I have purchased automatic brake pedal as well as brand new front tinted windshield, new sheet metal (as mentioned), front coil springs, 4 tubualr complete control arms (loaded), brand new green tint 6 piece side glass kit, se dan glass felt kit, brand new disc brake conversion kit, and new front splash pan.

      This translate to THOUSANDS in new parts.  My goal here was to go all modern RESTO MOD. The "BUY IT NOW" price includes the gold I purchased for it.  I have a 2007 Chevy SILVERADO 4.8l LS series V8 with matching 460LE automatic 4 speed transmission . COMPLETE with ALL and I do mean ALL accessories, wiring harness and computer.  This set up is worth $4000 plus on it's lonesome.  I have odometer statement from LATE MODEL Southern salvage yard that states it's original mileage at 73,xxx.  Engine/Trans looks as if it's day one from GM. THIS ONLY GOES WITH CAR FOR BUY IT NOW PRICE. DOES NOT GO WITH CAR JUST HITTING RESERVE.

        I have the original rear seat redone in black vinyl.  I also have an OLDS Cutlass interior in the car for the meantime . I was planning to use the more modern 60/40 G body seats and have made to match the rear. 

       There was going to be no expense spared the way I was going.  There ARE NO front fenders with this deal.  They were cut up for a flip nose and were tossed. There are no bumpers, the rear was missing the front was junk.  Each and every part is made new for these cars! IF you don't have the wallet for new there is plenty of good useable items that can be found on E Bay to make this complete.

       The steering column and box were tossed with the intention of rack and pinion steering.  I do have an 80's tilt GM column that goes and can retrofit. 90% of the side stainless I do have.  Missing a few pieces, again no big deal it's all made new and there is plenty of good used out there. I am including 4 steel 14" GM disc brake wheels as well as what is on the car. The car will be loaded with all brand new/used parts with great care. 

    YES, I do have the doors.  They were off to be redone.  They are very very nice.  NO HOLES in them.  Very clean bottoms as well.

     The only reason I stopped is because I have a ton of money in my NOVA that is near complete.  I have not touched this car in a year. I'm looking to pass it on at this point.  I want to see somebody else enjoy it.  In the event it DOES NOT sell I don't plan on relisting it.  I already have much invested plus my time.  Not thrilled bout letting it go but if the money is there it is going to go.

      I am in CONGERS, NY 10920. That is where the car will have to be towed from.  IF you aren't coming yourself keep in mind that you are responsible for all fees to transport this vehicle. I DO NOT live on a major road.  A HUGE CAR CARRIER CAN NOT go down my street.  I have a friend who has a home on a main road and is in the towing business.  It will be responsibility of owner to pay him his fees to tow car at his home and store.  If you are coming with a small rig or a trailer there is no issue.

        The car is priced in it's market value.  NO MATTER what it is "THE HOT ONE" a 57 Chevy.  That can't be taken from it.  Many may not know what to do or have forsight.  The vision I had was an easy $50-75k car when finished.  I've been in this my whole life and done many, sadly time becomes an issue.  These days I don't have the time.  Just looking to clear it out so somebody else can enjoy it.

 

  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF ANYTHING IS UNCLEAR.....

 

 

  I AM MAKING THIS CLEAR IN WRITING I HAVE NO TIME TO PLAY GAMES. THE PRICE YOU BID IS WHAT YOU PAY.  THE ONLY FORM OF PAYMENTS I ACCEPT ARE CASH, TRANSFER OR BANK CHECK.  NO I O US, NO CREDIT CARDS, NO PAY PAL!!!! (THAT IS ONLY FOR $500 deposit).  If you are one of those guys who is scared to do E bay transactions and have to ask your wife, this isn't for you.  I have purchased many cars off E bay and zero issues getting the people paid I purchased the cars from so the same should apply to the buyer of this car.   Thank you in advance.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

10 of 18 midsize SUVs earn 'good' IIHS side impact safety rating

Wed, May 18 2022

It's not terribly surprising that midsize SUVs earned better safety ratings than small SUVs in the latest side-impact tests performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Just how much better they scored, on the other hand, certainly raises an eyebrow. Ten out of 18 midsize SUVs earned the highest rating of 'good' in the stringent new test, altered for vehicles starting with the 2020 model year with a heavier barrier (4,200 pounds) that moves at a higher speed (37 miles per hour) and is fitted with a hard honeycomb frontal structure. By way of contrast, just one out of of 20 small SUVs earned a 'good' score.  SUVs that receiving 'good' scores were the Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX60, Lincoln Aviator, Mazda CX-9, Nissan Pathfinder, Subaru Ascent, Toyota Highlander, Volkswagen Atlas, Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport and Volkswagen ID.4. For EV fans, it's worth noting the ID.4 was the only electric vehicle included in the test. The Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse scraped away with 'acceptable' ratings while the Honda Passport, Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade, Jeep Wrangler 4-door, Kia Telluride and Nissan Murano were deemed merely 'marginal' in the tough new test. Only two models — the Mazda CX-9 and Volkswagen ID.4 — earned a "Good" rating in every test category.  Interestingly, the Jeep Wrangler would have scored a 'good' rating if it were equipped with side airbags for the rear seating positions. It would likely be an engineering challenge to equip its removable top and/or doors with airbags, but the lack of that safety feature allowed the head of the rear passenger dummy to hit the vertical support of the top. Otherwise, the Wrangler scored good ratings across the board. The new Ford Bronco, which makes more allowances for side-impact safety, has not yet been tested.  The popular Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride SUVs stand out in the test with 'poor' ratings for driver pelvis injuries. The Nissan Murano, a vehicle last redesigned for the 2015 model year, was the only vehicle tested that received a 'poor' rating for its structure and safety cage. Videos of the tests of 12 of these 18 SUVs can be found on the IIHS' YouTube page.

North American Car, Truck and SUV of the Year finalists revealed

Thu, Nov 17 2022

The finalists for the 2023 North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year Awards were announced Thursday at the L.A. Auto Show. — The Acura Integra, Genesis Electrified G80 and Nissan Z made the cut in the car category. — The Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevy Silverado ZR2 and Lordstown Endurance advanced in trucks. — And the Cadillac Lyriq, Genesis GV60 and Kia EV6 advanced among utilities.  The winners will be announced Jan. 11 in Detroit.  The finalists underscored the industryÂ’s shift to electric vehicles, as all three utilities and two of the three trucks are EVs. The finalists were culled from a list of 26 semifinalists made up of three trucks, 10 cars and 16 utility vehicles that are new this year.  Notables that missed the cut include the Mercedes EQE, Subaru WRX and Toyota GR Corolla in cars; while the Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage and Rivian R1S were among the utes that did not advance. The three trucks are the only ones eligible this year and have advanced through the voting.  50 jurors who work for media outlets across North America vote three times over the course of the year to whittle down the field, which was originally 47 vehicles. Jurors also test the semifinalists at an October group event in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Honda Civic (car), Ford Maverick (truck) and Ford Bronco (utility vehicle) were the 2022 winners.
