Up for grabs is my 1957 Chevy Bel Air 2 door hardtop. These cars are some of the most sought after automobiles by about every type of auto enthusiast from hot rodders to high end collectors these cars have been the holy grail of hot rods from the start. And unlike a lot of the cars the 57 Bel Air 2 door Hardtops not only hold their value they continue to rise. Here is your chance to get in on the action. My father in Law gave me this car about 10 years ago for my birthday. It had been parked since 1981 in my father in laws barn and needed work then, so when i had recieved it of course it was in need of full restoration. But I didn't care because it was a 57 Bel Air 2 door Hardtop. I figured that after I completed my existing project at the time (which happens to still be my existing project) myself or at least my son would get it done someday. The longer it sits the worse its gonna get so i figured i would give someone else the chance at restoring it the way it should be before theres nothing left to restore. So as the story goes as with time i am listing it here today. I really dont know anything about the car other than it is all original minus the trunk lid (was hit by a flying truck tire) and was replaced. Also the Carb, intake and valve covers are from a Corvette. The only piece missing is the front seat, a friends friend was restoring one and needed it, i knew mine would probably never get used even if i did restore the car so I let it go, at a hefty price of coarse. I tried to get the best pics I could to explain the condition, but here are the basics. The floors are pretty much non existant not completely but the majority. Rocker panels are gone. Rust behind the front wheels, pot metal chrome has pitting, body panels straight with exception of rust. The motor does not run currently, i am assuming the rings are stuck have not tried to spray anything in the plug holes or anything just because again i would not have used the same engine I think a guy could probably get it goin with a little effort because it did run when he parked it just smoking bad. The trunk seems to be fairly solid but I have not looked because the factory mat is still intact and didn't want to ruin it taking it out. Headliner is in good shape would clean up nice I think, the back seat is in good shape just filthy some good strong soap would do wonders. Under the hood looks complete as mentioned was driving it before it was parked. I guess for lack of knowledge of the car just ask me any questions and I will get the answers for you between my father in law and myself we will get answers back to you. Also if there are some specific photos you want let me know and I'll do my best to get them. My reserve is significantly less than my buy it now price. Good luck to all

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If 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.

Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show
