You are looking at a 57 Chevy Bel-Air 4 Door. The car is in nice original condition. From the information given by the previous owner, the car was bought in Florida, went to Indiana then to New York. The car spent most of it's time in a garage. The previous owner had the 2 speed powerglide rebuilt and also replaced the gas tank and sending unit. I bought the car with the intention to restore it completely. Out of all of the tri five Chevys that I have owned, this is by far the greatest eye catcher of them all. The quarters look solid, and the doors also close solid. I recently had the front end of the car painted. Replaced the eyebrow chrome on both sides, the gold grill, the fender end and the cone on the left side, and left spear chrome on the door. The only trace of body filler that I can see is a little patch on the right fender by the wheel well. The car seems to have the original glass, only the drivers door has a light crack in it. The windshield is in good shape but has the usual dings and light scratches that any antique vehicle would have. Like I stated earlier I had intended to keep and restore this car, so many parts have been replaced. The car has a new die hard battery, a new re-built 2 barrel Rochester carb. ordered special from a well known rebuilding company. ( The cost of this was 350$ alone.) It also has new rear springs and shackles, all new wheel cylinders, new brake hoses, new spare tire, new bezels in the tranny linkage, new tail lenses, new wiring for headlights, new directional lenses, tune up ( points, plugs, condenser, cap rotor plug wires), rebuilt master cylinder, new upper and lower ball joints, ( I don't like the way the grease fittings accept the grease into the new joints...so I bought a new set of MOOG ball joints that will be included with the car.) It also has new inner and outer tie rods, a new idler arm, a new center link, brand new rocker panel chrome, upper and lower control arm bushings, new front shocks, new transmission mounts. The dash board is in nice shape, car does have the original steering wheel. The car also has the original turquoise/black interior, the head liner is in good shape as well as the carpet. The front seat cover will have to be replaced since it is the original. The drivers side of the cover is torn. The door panels look to also be the originals. The tires are in decent shape, they are repros of the originals. I placed four original spinner 57 Chevy hubcaps on the wheels and they look great. The motor is a 283 which runs well. (The previous owner claimed it to be a 58 283.) It sometimes smokes at start-up but then clears and runs smooth, the previous owner replaced all the gaskets for the motor. The car has good power for a 283 and drives great on the highway and feels totally roadworthy. The dual exhaust system with glass packs gives the motor that old fashioned rumble. All of the lights works as well as the gas gauge, the car has also been converted to an alternator. There are a few issues that do have to be repaired. The tranny linkage has to be adjusted slightly so it can be shifted into park correctly. The tranny itself shifts really well, it does not slip at all....tranny fluid is clean. Also the horn and the neutral safety switch do have to be repaired. I have a rebuilt original steering column that is included with the car, so those two issues can be repaired right away. I also have a spare NOS original distributer that I was going to put into the motor, which also comes with the car. Despite these issue this is a beautiful car in nice original condition. The car has never been altered in any way. My family and I take the car out every weekend during the spring and summer to local cruises. It never fails to turn heads. Like I said earlier, it is the most eye catching car I have ever owned. We are stopped constantly by admirers who wish to have their picture taken with it. I really don't want to part with this 57, but I have lost my storage space and I am unable to keep it in my possession. From the amount of parts that were placed into this car, you can see I did not want to sell it, but I have no choice. It's a very beautiful car, you will not be disappointed!!!!!! See videos of the '57 below. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.. I will do my very best to address any and all of your concerns. This car is to be sold on a "AS IS" basis. There are no warranties, or guarantees. Buyer must pay in full before the car leaves property. Payment be made within 3 days of auction end. Buyer is responsible for all shipping/transporting and fees and charges. Please feel free to ask any questions before bidding. PLEASE....SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY.... US ONLY. NO REFUNDS..... |

Did the Chevy Corvette Z06 break 7 minutes at the Ring? Not likely
Wed, Jan 28 2015"Just because it's on the internet doesn't make it true." That's rule number one, two and arguably, three, of surfing the world wide web. In today's example of this rule, we have the following. The website HorsepowerKings is claiming that a 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, with the eight-speed automatic and Z07 package, managed to lap the Nurburgring Nordschleife in under seven minutes. To put that in perspective, that super-quick time would put the 650-horsepower, $97,000 (the price of a 2LZ with the Z07/8AT combo) Z06 a mere two seconds slower around the world's most challenging race track than the $929,000, 887-horsepower Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach. It's about eight seconds quicker than Nissan's own test of the GT-R Nismo Track Pack and 13 seconds faster than a Dodge Viper ACR. Unfortunately, Chevy says there isn't anything to it. We reached out to the Bowtie's Monte Doran, who confirmed that HK's claims are "not accurate." "Any one – a manufacturer, a journalist, a guy standing on the fence of the Ring – can claim a lap time. As such, we think the in-car video is essential to proving a time is real and credible, and Chevrolet will not release a lap until we have a video to substantiate the claim," Doran told Autoblog. "Chevrolet accumulated nearly 1,000 miles of testing on the Nurburgring with the Z06. During that time, we only had two opportunities to run a lap on video – and both were rained out. If we get a lap on video, we will post an official time." Doran finished by referencing the "only official lap time" for the Z06 – a 2:41 around the Virginia International Raceway. Frankly, we aren't terribly surprised by Chevy's position. One would imagine if the Z06 were matching million-dollar hypercars around the 'Ring, the company would literally be screaming about it from Renaissance Center's rooftop. As this is quite the opposite of that, though, we're betting that the real Z06 lap time - while still likely very, very fast – won't be quite quick enough to frighten the brightest and best of today's hypercars.
GM Recalling 370,000 Trucks For Fire Risk
Mon, Jan 13 2014DETROIT (AP) - General Motors is recalling 370,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups from the 2014 model year to fix software that could cause the exhaust components to overheat and start a fire. The recall includes 303,000 trucks in the U.S. and 67,000 in Canada and Mexico. All of the trucks involved have 4.3-liter or 5.3-liter engines. GM said eight fires have been reported, but no injuries. One garage was damaged, the company said. All of the incidents occurred in cold weather. The company is asking customers not to leave their trucks idling unattended. GM dealers will reprogram the software for free. The company will inform owners starting Jan. 16. The major recall announcement, which came on Saturday, marred the Silverado's winning of the 2014 North American Truck of the Year Award at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
