       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.

2014 Corvette Stingray meets Tesla Model S in drag strip showdown

Wed, Jan 29 2014

They come from two different worlds and have little in common. The Tesla Model S P85 is the sportiest version of this paradigm-punching sedan from California, while the 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 is a performance-enhanced version of Michigan's recently-updated sports car stalwart. The West Coast car seats five adults and eats electrons like Popeye eats spinach, the Easterner has two passenger places and, surprisingly, sips gasoline like one might bourbon. An attribute they do happen to share is extreme quickness. This similarity is all the excuse Drag Times needed to set the vehicles beside each other at the Palm Beach International Raceway for a bit of mano-a-mano quarter-mile combat. Fortunately enough, cameras were rolling for each of two bouts down the blacktop and the results recorded for our edification and enlightenment. The winner? We won't spoil it for you, but let's just say it's really, really close. How close? Scroll below and watch the video for yourself. Just be warned, the results may surprise you.

Recharge Wrap-up: Phoenix Cars delivers ZEUS to Navy, Volt saves gas compared to i-MiEV

Thu, Apr 23 2015

Phoenix Cars has delivered its first Zero Emissions Utility Shuttle (ZEUS) flatbed truck to the US Navy. The electric flatbed will be used to transport maintenance materials around Naval Base Ventura County Port Hueneme. The Phoenix ZEUS features a 100-mile range, and can charge in just three hours. It also features vehicle-to-grid technology and direct power capability, allowing it to function as a mobile power station. ZEUS customers enjoy an eight-year/300,000-mile battery warranty and round-the-clock technical support from Phoenix. Phoenix launched an electric passenger shuttle last year, and years ago worked on an electric sport utility truck before shifting over to larger vehicles. Read more in the press release from Phoenix Cars. A man found that he used less gas by trading in his Mitsubishi i-MiEV for a Chevrolet Volt. Ben Rich saved fuel in part by using his Volt for road trips rather than needing to rent cars. Rich also found other benefits to driving a Volt, including more comfort, more freedom of movement and less range anxiety. Rich often had to turn off the heat in the winter to eke out precious miles in the Mitsubishi, which he needn't do in the Chevy, though he did have a gripe about the Volt using the gas motor to warm the car. Read more at Green Car Reports. EV drivers using the ChargePoint network have traveled over 196 million miles without gasoline. ChargePoint has tallied over 9 million charging sessions for a total of 65 gigawatt hours of energy. Based on national efficiency averages of three miles per kWh and 23.9 miles per gallon, this has saved 8.2 million gallons of gasoline and 60 million pounds of CO2. This accounts for what ChargePoint calls a "huge environmental impact." Read more in the release from ChargePoint below. The Environmental Impact of ChargePoint Drivers Campbell, Calif.– We all know electric vehicles (EV) have enormous environmental advantages over gas vehicles. Plug-in EVs reduce carbon-based greenhouse gases, improve air quality and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. EV drivers on the ChargePoint network have had a huge environmental impact. With over 9 million charging sessions delivering 65 gigawatt hours of energy, EV drivers have avoided over 60 million pounds of CO2 and 8.2 million gallons of gasoline, and driven over 196 million gas-free miles. *Based on national averages: EV efficiency of 3 miles per kWh, gas efficiency of 23.9 mpg and a net savings of 0.924 pounds of CO2 per kWh.

GM recalling 686k Lambda-platform models for hatch repair

Fri, Jul 10 2015

General Motors is recalling 686,287 units of its Lambda platform crossovers. On models equipped with a power rear hatch the system can potentially fail. This campaign includes the 2008-2012 Buick Enclave, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook. According to GM's documents to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), dirt can get into a portion of the strut that holds up the hatch and cause the part to prematurely fail. There's a redundancy in place called the Prop Rod Recovery system that's designed to shut the liftgate if there's a malfunction. However, if the breakdown happens too quickly after the hatch is opened the prop rod might not work the way it's supposed to. If someone were in the way of the falling liftgate, they could be hurt. For the repair, dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit to prevent the hatch from closing so quickly. They'll also check the operation of the system afterward. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Liftgate Struts may Fail and Liftgate may Fall Report Receipt Date: JUN 30, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V415000 Component(s): STRUCTURE Potential Number of Units Affected: 686,287 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) BUICK ENCLAVE 2008-2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE 2009-2012 GMC ACADIA 2007-2012 SATURN OUTLOOK 2007-2010 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 Buick Enclave vehicles manufactured January 3, 2007, to February 29, 2012, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse vehicles manufactured July 6, 2008, to February 29, 2012, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia vehicles manufactured September 15, 2006, to February 29, 2012, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook vehicles manufactured August 17, 2006, to March 18, 2010. The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall. CONSEQUENCE: If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.
