1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2Dr. Hardtop


 I am proud to list this 57 Bel Air 2 Dr. Hardtop. This Bel Air was born a V-8 (VC vin #) and retains the original 283 Cid engine with the power pack option. The carb has been updated to a new Carter AFB competition series with electric choke, & dual exhaust. It has period corvette valve covers, factory power steering and after market air conditioning & heat unit. It has an automatic turbo 350 transmission and the original rear end.It has a Custom Audio radio that fits in the original dash opening that is am/fm, cd, and mp3 compatible, with a Custom Audio 10 disc changer in the trunk, & the stereo sounds great.It comes with custom audio manuals for both the radio and 10 disc changer. This is a wonderful driving and running Bel Air. The cowl tag shows the paint code 816D (Colonial Cream), interior code 675 (Black & Yellow) has high end custom interior installed now with a Glide 50/50 split bench seat.. I could keep going on and on but I think the pictures speak for there self. It has great curb appeal and you will want to show off how nice this one is. It has held up extremely well over the past 6-7 years. You can tell it was well maintained and was restored properly with good workmanship and materials.   

I have invoices from 1996 that the previous owner supplied with the sale of the car. It went through a restoration in Utah in 1996 with a cost of $27,196.82 for paint, body, & mechanical, and $9,056.91 for the custom interior & trunk compartment. This is a total of $36,253.00 that was spent bringing her back to a very nice restored vehicle. The invoices are very detailed and will go with the car. The floor pans, trunk pan, and body braces appear to have never been replaced or spliced in. The quarter panels and lower fenders have no splice lines or signs of replacement, and there is nothing in the detailed invoices about any floor pan or trunk repair. The body work is very straight, panel fit & gaps are nice, and the base coat/clear coat finish has been color sanded and polished out to a high end finish. The glass, chrome & bright work, rubber seals,have all been replated or replaced. The wheels were sand blasted and repainted and has new wide white wall radial tires, and a brand new battery. 

The known defects are - Interior dome light does not turn off, (bulb is removed). The horn is hooked up but not operating. The windshield wiper motor is not operating, and a small ding on the left quarter panel upper stainless moulding, (small ding)

The mileage shows 42,389, but is being sold as exempt on the mileage due to no verification of the original miles. It is being sold as is-where is with no written warranty. Please come and inspect and take it on a test drive. I welcome inspections, prefer they are done before the end of auction. I reserve the right to stop the auction at any time due to it is for sale locally too. I set my reserves at a resonable value, so please only bid if you are a serious buyer. Please don't waste everyones time. The car is located in Wentzville, Mo. 35 miles west of Saint Louis. Please see my future auctions, I have a nice 1958 Chevy Imapala 2Dr. Hardtop, and a 1950 Ford Convertible with original flathead engine that will be listed soon. My name is Greg and you can reach me @ (806) 477-2201. Thanks for viewing my auction and good luck.

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]

Mon, 27 May 2013

If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.

2016 Chevy Volt powertrain video teasers

Fri, Oct 31 2014

If there's one thing we've learned about plug-in vehicle fans, you have a thing for seeing your cars get made. The series of videos showing BMW i3 production was strangely popular, as were the shots from inside the VW e-Golf plant. Well, with General Motors pulling the veil off of the 2016 Chevy Volt this week, it's time to take a peek at the production process for that vehicle as well. You're welcome. Up first we've got a clip from CNN Money showing a little bit about how the new Volt's new battery pack and other powertrain components are made. Those of you who are trying to read the lithium tea leaves and see if the new shape reveals that the 2016 Volt will have five seats might want to check it out. Then we've got two clips from GM itself, one showing an animation about the updated Voltec powertrain and another with some B Roll of the old Volt. Since GM doesn't want us to see the new car quite yet, we'll have to enjoy this for now. Watch below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

GM starting to talk seriously about 200-mile EV

Sun, Oct 12 2014

We've been hearing word of a 200-mile EV from Chevrolet for a while now. First, there was General Motors then-CEO Dan Akerson hinting at a $30,000, 200-mile EV that would take the competition by surprise. Then Akerson confirmed that GM is working on a 200-mile EV in a speech in March. LG Chem, which supplies batteries to GM and other automakers, recently said it was working on batteries for EVs with a range of 200 miles. GM's head of global product development Mark Reuss just re-confirmed that there are plans for an EV with a 200-mile range, and sources have told Automotive News what that car will be. While Reuss didn't mention anything about a specific model or platform, two undisclosed sources with knowledge of GM's plans have said that an EV with a range of about 200 miles is indeed in the works, and that it will be based on the Chevrolet Sonic. The sources also gave a timeline for the car, saying it is slated for sometime in 2017. According to Reuss, the plan is for Chevy to offer a lineup of electric cars, with the 200-mile EV joining ranks of the Chevrolet Volt and the Spark EV. He didn't hint at a timeline, but if the sources are correct, we could see a Sonic EV being built within a few years. Reuss sees demand for it, too. When speaking of the Spark EV, currently only available in California and Oregon, he says that "people wish we would sell it all around the country." If he's right about that, it's not difficult to imagine people taking interest in Chevrolet's 200-mile electric car, whether or not it's a Sonic.
