57 Chevrolet V-8, Original Power Pack (4bbl carb, 220hp) Original 3 Speed (on the tree) with RARE ORIGINAL OVERDRIVE What I remember when the car was purchased: This car is extremely original (even the Mohair headliner) with ALL numbers matching (all engine parts, tranny, overdrive, windows, etc....) except the rear end. The rear end was replaced before my mother got the car but it was replaced with a 'newer' chevy rear end with 4:11 gears. The 4:11 gears are the stock ration for the overdrive model. I was able to drive this car a bit when I was in high school. She's a heavy car, but with the Power pack motor and 4:11 gears she's a true "stump puller!" Don't tell my mother, but there wasn't a single person in high school that could beat me off the line in this car. Ahhh, the memories! The OD helped quiet down the noise @ freeway speeds. Oh, the original color was Salmon - the previous owner painted it the '57 Buick blue color that you see. My mother did tell me that the glove box and the glove box door are currently missing. My father took it out to work on something (I don't know what??) and never got around to putting it back in. From the photos, it also looks like the driver's door panel is missing. I have not personally seen the car for years but ask me any questions you have and I will get what answers I can from my mother. Other than the photos on this listing I personally have not seen the car for about a decade (the photos were taken this last week) so this is an as-is sale. But, she is a clean titled, very original '57 Chevy with numbers matching Power Pack motor, 3 speed manual transition and very RARE OVERDRIVE. As-is, where-is. Payment due within 7 days of auction end. Your responsibility for gettin' her moved but I don't mind helping find an auto hauler if you need one (although I think eBay offers a service, no? Not sure, never sold a car on eBay before). Please ask any question you may have and I will do my best to get you the answers! Best of luck! If you don't mind putting a little elbow grease into her, this gal will make you happy! On Nov-23-13 at 15:30:41 PST, seller added the following information: Hi Everyone - thanks for all the great questions! I was able to get out there and take a look at the car today and took photos of what people were asking for. General description of what the car looks like now (as I mentioned before, I had not seen it in about 10 years... until today). Body panels look pretty solid and straight: fenders, quarters, doors, hood, trunk, etc but there is some typical/surface rust. Engine compartment https://www.dropbox.com/s/pg8y1tb47819oom/Engine%20Compartment.jpg The floor on the drivers side looks reasonable - probably savable but I am not going to make that call from a quick inspection as I did not want to peel up the original flooring ( I would just replace it and be done with it, myself). I now understand why my father removed the glove box door - there is a leak at the bottom passenger side of the front windshield and so the front passenger side floor will need replacing. Trunk looks really good (I mean, this car is over 50 years old!) Front passenger floor from the top From the underneath Driver side underneath Trunk Spare wheel well Gutters are so-so: will need some work. The back splash panel (located in front of rear bumper) will need replacing although the front one looks pretty good. Engine compartment has surface rust but the splash guards, etc are usable. Here is a spot with the SS missing that will need TLC: The drivers door cannot be opened right now. I'm positive the original ID plate is there, though - I would have remembered something missing as glaring as that. It may need the hinges replaced? After talking with my mother, my father did something to screw up the hinges. Apparently, no one ever found out what. Here are pix of the original overdrive equipment: Lever: and senor on the carb I'm pretty sure that the gas tank needs to get replaced - my father cut the fuel line so he could install a filter (original system only has a sintered brass filter in the carb) and then the turkey put in a 1 gallon paint thinner can and ran the fuel line into that (He has the mentality of a Great Depression survivor and applied it to everything - even if it didn't make sense). Replace the fuel line and gas tank, remove the 1 gallon can and it will be fine. Yes, the original OD equipment are still there and in place. Pix of the radiator numbers: yep, the original 1957 radiator. Driver side Passenger side Happy Bidding! |

Sunday Drive: Spying an automotive future of performance
Sun, May 13 2018I spy, with my little eye ... the future of the automotive world here in the United States. That pretty much sums up this week's Sunday Drive, in which we pull out the most popular stories on Autoblog of the previous week and try to draw some sort of conclusion as to what binds them all together. This week, it's spy shots, starting with one of the biggest and baddest muscle cars the world has ever seen: the Dodge Challenger Hellcat. The Hellish coupe gets a new hood for 2019 with dual scoops, but that's about the only meaningful change for the new model year. No matter. As long as it's packing 700-plus horsepower under those two hood scoops, all will be right with the world. Moving on, we take keep the performance angle but move it from the street to the dirt with a new version of the Chevy Colorado ZR2 that we think is probably called the Bison. We think it'll keep the high-tech suspension bits of the regular ZR2, but add expedition gear that may include a snorkel and a winch. Which, if true, is pretty dang cool. Keeping the truck theme is the 2019 GMC Sierra. There's nothing particularly noteworthy about the trim level in which the truck was spied, and that's what makes this specific example interesting. Base-model trucks almost never get much attention, but they sell in droves to workers who need an honest-to-goodness truck for work or play and don't care about bells, whistles, or massive chrome badges. And finally we have the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, which is on fire on the sales floor right now. But those are all V6-powered Wranglers flying off the showroom floor. Soon, a turbocharged four-cylinder engine option will become available, and now we know that it will return up to 23 miles per gallon in the city and 25 on the highway. That makes it the most fuel efficient Wrangler that Jeep has ever sold. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog this week for all the automotive news that's fit to publish. 2019 Dodge Challenger Hellcat with twin-scoop hood spied with no camouflage Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison caught testing 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 spied in base trim level 2018 Jeep Wrangler four-cylinder fuel economy revealed Spy Photos Chevrolet Dodge GMC Jeep Truck Coupe SUV Off-Road Vehicles Performance dodge challenger srt hellcat sunday drive
2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
2022 Genesis GV70, raging at VW ID.4 tech and thoughts on a new Lexus LFA | Autoblog Podcast #696
Fri, Sep 17 2021In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. This week, they talk about driving the Genesis GV70, VW ID.4 and VW Taos. They talk about ways Chevy could "fix" the Camaro. James ranked all the James Bond films based solely on their starring cars. Next, they reach in the mailbag and discuss the question, "Do you think Lexus will make a successor to the LFA and, if so, what do you guys think it would be like?" After ruminating on that query, they dip into the mailbag a second time to recommend a sporty crossover to a listener in this week's Spend My Money segment.
