Recent Paint, Interior, and Windshield


Offered for sale is one of America's most desirable cars...the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air.  The Bel Air was the highest model, and this is the 2 door post model. As you can see in the photos, it's a good looking car.  The trim is intact, the body looks great, and the interior has been redone. It has been raining here for the past few days, so I put off taking pictures, but the forecast shows more rain, so I decided to go ahead and take them. The car is shiny when it's not wet.  It's paint is smooth, no visible rust or bubbles, and the glass is all good.  The windshield and rubber seal were replaced last week, so they're perfect.  I tried to get a picture from every angle so you can see how it all lines up.  It can be driven just like it is, and you can fly in and drive it home if you are the adventurous type.  The car starts easily, idles well, steers, shifts, and stops like it should.  It has a great sounding small block V-8 with dual exhaust.  Not loud, but sounds excellent. I don't know if it's a 283, 327, or 350. It could very well be the original engine...but  I don't know. It has a 3 speed automatic transmission, which replaced the factory Powerglide. 

The interior was replaced and looks good, as seen in the pictures.  The headliner, door panels, and carpet all look great.  It's a car you can buy and drive without having to do a lot of work to it.  It's a good 5-10 footer, but if you've tried to find cheap 57 Chevys, it's near impossible. I don't have access to a lift, so I can't get photos of the underneath.  The trunk, areas around the windshield and rear window, and the cowl and firewall all look solid.

The car is being listed to be sold.  Please, no games or dreamers. You either want the car and can pay for it, or you can't.  Let's not make this harder than it has to be.  If you want to see it first, please inspect BEFORE the auction ends.  You're bidding to win, not to set up a future date to look it over.  Serious buyers will know what to do.  I can add a Buy it Now if you want me to do that, or I can end the auction early for those who just can't wait.  I'll help any way that I can. I can send additional pictures if you send me your email address, and I can't get you in touch with the owner if there's anything you need to speak to him about.  I have a clean, clear title in hand that's ready to hand off to the new owner.  The car will not leave my possession until all funds have cleared.  If we agree on a price and I end the auction early, the payment should come quickly.  If you want to wait and see how the auction turns out, that's your call.  I don't think it will go the full 7 days, but time will tell.  These 57s are getting harder and harder to find. 

You can reach me at northshorebill@aol.com, or call/text me at 941-740-2277.  Texts and emails usually get a quicker response than calls.


The car is located in Port Charlotte...about 90 miles south of Tampa on Florida's Gulf Coast. I am about 10 miles off of I-75, so driving it home or shipping. It will be quick and painless to get on the road heading home.  Thanks for looking, and Happy Bidding !!!


On Jun-05-14 at 10:20:22 PDT, seller added the following information:

 Just a quick update.  Two people felt the need to write and say the car is a 210, and not a Bel Air.  They say there is chrome missing, which is possible.   They say it should have more.  That's possible too.  When I wrote them back, I didn't get a reply.  I'm going by the VIN or serial number, if you prefer it to be called that. It starts with a "V".  That means it was a factory V-8 car.  6 cylinder cars started with an A, B, or C...not a V.  A= a 150 model, B= a 210 model, and C= a Bel Air.  This is a VC car, and shown on the serial number plate photo from inside the driver's door.  I didn't go by the chrome that is or isn't there...I went by the actual number of the car.  You decide for yourself.  I'm going with the facts that I can prove. 

REAL Bel Air, REAL V-8 CAR.

LOWERED RESERVE!!!  Don't miss out, it looks like the car will sell.  I can end the auction early for the right price.  If no one offers that price, the auction will go to the end and everyone can bid what they feel it's worth to them.  Good Luck

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.

2017 Chevy Bolt EV arrives in late 2016 with 200-mile range

Wed, Jan 6 2016

For those keeping track, the production 2017 Chevy Bolt that was just revealed at CES in Las Vegas is, well, pretty much just what we were expecting. As promised, GM claims the EV crossover-ish hatch will have a 200-mile range, and be "affordable." While pricing hasn't been announced, we've posited in the past that "affordable" is code for around $30,000 after incentives. The Bolt will use a couple of features, both novel and expected, to enhance range. The EV is expected to use information on the owner's driving history, the weather outside, the terrain, and even the time of day to help manage and predict range. The nav system will optimize routes to conserve range, if needed, and show nearby charging stations. That should ease, if not eliminate, range anxiety. Another range-conserving feature is a low-draw Bluetooth system. Speaking of charging stations, there's no word so far about how long it'll take to recharge a Bolt, or the capacity of the battery pack. Inside, the large center-mounted MyLink screen measures a full 10.2 inches, and provides a display for the wide-angle rear camera with a birds-eye view capability. OnStar provides 4G LTE and a wifi hotspot to occupants, and the sorts of efficiency and driving habit apps you'd expect will be available. It seems like remote start and cabin preconditioning will be standard. Interestingly, the Bolt will feature "Gamification" features intended to promote efficient driving by pitting Bolt drivers against each other for green driving awards or rankings. Details on are sparse on this feature, but then again, information on the Bolt in general is a little sparse right now. If you want to know things like detailed specs, the specifics of chassis componentry, or even trims and options, you'll have to wait. Check out our first quick spin of a prototype Bolt in Las Vegas for a preview of what GM's EV is like on the road. Chevrolet Introduces 2017 Bolt EV First long-range, affordable EV with customer-focused connectivity LAS VEGAS – Chevrolet is introducing the 2017 Bolt EV at the Consumer Electronics Show, fulfilling its promise to offer a long-range, affordable electric vehicle for the masses. The Bolt EV, which will go into production by the end of 2016, will offer more than 200 miles of range on a full charge. It also features advanced connectivity technologies designed to enhance and personalize the driving experience.

Nissan Leaf sales get January jump as Chevy Volt trends downward

Mon, Feb 3 2014

The cold January sales dip hit both the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt last month, but when compared 2014 to 2013's first-month-of-the-year sales totals, one of the two early plug-in vehicles obviously came out on top. The top Leaf market also shifted away from Atlanta for the first time in months. Last year, the Leaf sold just 650 units in January, but it managed to move 1,252 last month, a 92.6-percent increase over 2013 but a big drop from the 2,529 sold in December 2013. Paige Presley over at Nissan told AutoblogGreen that the Leaf has now broken sales records for 11 months straight and that, "we see unique seasonality with some December pull-ahead demand based on federal and state tax incentives." The number one Leaf market also shifted away from Atlanta for the first time in months, moving back to San Francisco. That change could be short-lived. "We had some inventory constraint issues early in the month in Atlanta with end-of-year demand depleting stock," Presley said. "By the time we resolved that, the weather hampered sales." There was not as much good news on the Chevrolet front. Last month, the Volt sold 918 units, down from 1,140 in January 2013 and 2,392 in December 2013. It also marks the first time the Volt has sold in the three-digit range since January 2012, when it sold 603 copies. That string of solid months means that the plug-in hybrid has a roughly 12,000-unit lead over the EV since the two cars brought plug-in vehicles back to the mass market all the way back in December 2010. We will have our full report of January's green car sales up soon.
