OK, first of all so we are all clear, there is no VIN and no Title to this vehicle or its parts. I'm calling it a parts car or a builder if you have your own title. This was purchased to be restored and after blasting it we have decided to go in a different direction. It is a California boxed frame car, 1957 Bel Air 2 door hardtop. The body and all sheetmetal has been professionally blasted and Epoxy primered at a cost of 2,500. The chassis is original with a very rare 283 not sure if it is original to the chassis, with power steering and power brakes, all these parts are included as well as what is on the pallet in the picture. Also included is a full new floorpan from Ecklers from rocker to rocker and front to back, this cost 1,200. You also get a new decklid from Ecklers that cost 1,000 as well as a full left quarter panel from Ecklers that cost 1,000. That is all the replacement sheetmetal that will come with the car. No trim is included or windows, all that you get is on the pallet or setting on the car, no bumpers. The car has some rust, is is all very repairable as you can see, one door has rust inside it at the bottom and should be replaced, both fenders are solid except for at the bottoms where they need patched. Both quarters have rust under the side moldings and at the bottom. the hood has rust at the back edge but is repairable. Right side rocker panel and one floor brace need replacing and that is about it. The trunk is solid, roof is good and firewall. Minor rust in trunk gutter and around right front of windshield lower area. I highly recommend that you look at the car before bidding because I don't want any whining when you see it has some rust. It will be hard to load on a transport truck due to all the parts so if you intend to ship it you will have to arrange all of that and I will load it but they usually don't like to ship them with that many loose pieces. Any questions or concerns feel free to call at 972-496-3278 Again, NO TITLE or VIN numbers with this project car. Bill of sale will be provided. It is not a salvage title but I had to put something on it for ebay. Also, we can put the body on the chassis before pickup to help out with shipping it.

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
