235 Cid 3 Spd. Manual With 2 Sod Overdrive, Unrestored And Original on 2040-cars

Year:1957 Mileage:52798
Location:

Clearwater, Florida, United States

The facts:

1957 Chevrolet, 210 sedan, 235 CID 6 cyl. engine, 5 SPEED TRANS! 3 speed manual with 2 speed overdrive in 2nd and 3rd gear. 52,600 miles on odometer. The mileage is ORIGINAL. Radio delete with factory face plate, driver and passenger rear view mirrors.


The interesting:

This car is unrestored. Everything works including the cigaret lighter, dome light, dash lights, heater fan, glove box light. It has the original T3 headlights and windshield wipers. I have the ORIGINAL Briggs and Straton ignition key.Tires are original replacements, and yes, they are bias ply. Better start turning the steering wheel  ahead of time. I only replaced anything that was needed to make the car safe and road worthy.

These include:

heater hoses

rebuilt cylinder head

brake wheel cylinders and linings

leaf springs

gas tank and straps.

I have left everything else as original as I can. I have not “dressed, covered, hidden, repaired, detailed” anything that would detract from the original-ness of the car so you can see everything.


The caveat:

I was told this is original paint. (see history). I have had discussions with many different people including body shop painters that say it may be original, it may be repainted. You make your own determination. There is some patina in the hood and on top of the fenders. There are some scratches. I am still selling this car for this price. I can keep the car. If I keep it I will leave it exactly the way it is now.


The history:

This car was purchased in Brandon, Wisconsin, from the Miller Chevrolet dealership, by a man named Ornie Miller. (I don’t know the spelling of either Miller, and there is no relation of Ornie to the dealership). He purchased it when he was 59 years old as a Sunday driver, hence the missing radio. He just wanted to relax.  I believe he served in the Civil Defence project as evidence of the decal in the passenger wing window. I’ve wanted to check the internet to see if his name comes up on any rosters. 

He sold the car to Mark Kholmann of Saint Cloud, Wisconsin in 1989. Mark drove the car on Sundays and to weekend shows. The car was stored for a long time, and I purchased it last year with 47,300 miles on it. I have put over 5,000 miles on it. I drove this car from Wisconsin to Florida in January. I drove 75 MPH and the car got 18.3-18.9 Miles to the Gallon! The car rode like a Cadillac!

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.

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.

Ford Police Interceptors dominate Michigan State Police testing

Tue, Nov 1 2016

Once again, Ford Motor Company builds the fastest police vehicles. The Blue Oval touted the news in an official release following Michigan State Police and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department testing. Ford did very well. Except for one acceleration metric – zero to 10 miles per hour – the Blue Oval's Taurus and Explorer-based cop cars were the quickest, with particular praise coming for the EcoBoost-powered models, which bested Chevrolet and Dodge's V8-powered variants. Dearborn's products also posted the fastest average times around MSP's vehicle dynamics course. But it wasn't all positive for Ford. The only four-cylinder in the contest, the 2.0-liter, EcoBoost Ford SSP Sedan, had both the lowest top speed, 120 mph, and the slowest acceleration figures. It was also the slowest in track testing. Ford's products also failed to match the braking and top speeds of its rivals from Detroit and Auburn Hills – the rear-drive Charger Pursuit posted the best braking stats of the entire test, while the V8-powered Chevrolet Caprice hit the highest top speed, at 155 mph. Ford did score a top speed award, among SUVs, but at 132 mph, the naturally aspirated Police Interceptor Utility had to share its award with the equally fast, rear-drive Chevrolet Tahoe. The LA County Sheriff's timing isn't publicly available, but according to Ford, the EcoBoost-powered police cars put on a similarly impressive show for cops on the West Coast. We've assembled a spreadsheet on Google Docs that offers an easy to browse comparison of the different stats assembled by the Michigan State Police, and divided the vehicles between standard V6-powered sedans, high-performance sedans (EcoBoost and V8 models), and SUVs.
