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 !!!

 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

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.

GM, Pilot will build EVgo fast chargers at 500 truck stops across U.S.

Thu, Jul 14 2022

All of our maps showing electric vehicle charging stations across the U.S. are going to need an update. Today, General Motors, Pilot and EVgo announced plans to work together on a nationwide DC fast charging network. The plan calls for 2,000 charging stalls that can deliver up to 350 kW to be installed at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J travel centers in the U.S. The goal is to have DC fast chargers available in 50-mile intervals across the country. The new charging stations will feature GM's "Ultium Charge 360" branding and "Pilot Flying J" logos but will not be limited to drivers of GM EVs. The plugs will use CCS connectors and be available to anyone. GM EV owners can take advantage of benefits, including the ability to make exclusive reservations, get discounts on charging costs and streamline the charging process with Plug and Charge and in-vehicle apps that can provide real-time charger availability. The first installation phase will take place in 2023, and "the bulk of the installations" should be completed by 2025, EVgo CEO Kathy Zoi said during a conference call with reporters announcing the plan. "We're gonna get going immediately and commence all of that engineering and planning stuff," she said. "We've got a pretty orderly plan." Pilot CEO Shameek Konar said the company expects the new EV charging stations to coexist with the current fuel infrastructure. "An average Pilot Flying J location is about 10 acres," Konar said. "This will be in addition to all of our gas pumps. The way I think about it is, this is a new source of energy that is going to coexist with gas for quite some time. We can debate how long, but we need to serve both groups of customers." Installing DC fast chargers at hundreds of Pilot's travel centers — aka truck stops — means there should be food, drinks, restrooms, WiFi and even showers available while you wait for an EV to charge. Pilot recently announced its “New Horizons” plan that will invest $1 billion in upgrading Pilot travel centers with more premium amenities, including expanded seating and lounge areas. While the exact amount of time it will take to charge an EV using these new stations will vary on the EV and its current state of charge, most EVs can refill from a low state of charge to around 80 percent in 20-30 minutes on a fast charger. The new stations are future-proofed to deliver up to 350 kW, a charge rate that few EVs today can handle.

Next-gen Chevy Volt will get 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine

Tue, Oct 28 2014

As General Motors gets ready to unveil the new Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January, it's starting to reveal a few more details about the updated plug-in hybrid. Today should be fruitful on that front, thanks to an event GM is hosting today that focuses on the new Volt, and we've just had the first bit of new: a bigger engine is coming. Since the beginning, the Volt has used a 1.4-liter, four-cylinder engine as a range extender when the battery runs dry. The second-generation model will instead get a slightly larger 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that will be built in Flint, MI. That's a step up from the various engines that have been a part of the 2016 Volt's rumored mills, everything from a 1.0-liter or 1.2-liter three-cylinder to a 2.0-liter turbo. The confirmation about the new 1.5-liter powerplant was found in Automotive News, where we also heard again that GM is going to start building the new Volt's electric drive unit in Detroit, moving production up from Mexico. We will have more information on the 2016 Chevy Volt later today.
