If you are looking for a perfect frame off restored trailer queen turn back now, No use in wasting your time or mine. However if you want to spend $40K+ and are in the market for a very nice above driver quality 57 Chevrolet with out busting your entire life savings then keep reading!!!!!
Up for auction is a very nice 57 Chevy that you will be proud to drive and show. This car will gets a lot of looks and compliments everywhere you go. This American icon is very dependable and hits the road excellent and can be driven anywhere!!
This car originally was sold in Melbourne Florida and made its way up here just a few short years ago. I purchased it in Charlotte N.C and sold it to a good friend of mine in aprox 2008-2009. He installed vintage a/c and a new 350 crate engine. The car has been garage kept since and driven very little and still shows extremely well. Just a few weeks ago I acquired this 57 back in on trade and have made it my demo. I have been driving this car back and forth to work and around town daily (weather permitting) with NO problems!!!
The body is straight as an arrow and as solid as you will find!! The trunk, floors, frame, body panels are extremely solid and rust free! T
he chrome, stainless, and glass is in immaculate condition and still shows like new with a high quality shine! The windshield has one foggy place on the driver side (see pics) other than that all glass is perfect!!
The paint is slick as glass and as straight as a guitar string. It has a very deep show room shine and looks amazing but the car has been done for aprox 7-8 years and driven a little so it will have what I would consider to be normal wear that is to be expected from any vehicle that has been driven and enjoyed ...such as maybe a small chip here or there that has been touched up. NO runs, orange peel, trash in the paint etc. This is a high quality paint job that has held up remarkably! It is accented tastefully and professionally with pearl ghost flames that you have to look HARD to see. In fact they barely show up in the pics but if you look close you will catch a glimpse. Also on the trunk is some air brush work that was done from the dealer in Florida who sold it years ago. Personally the airbrush on the trunk is the only thing I don't like about the cars paint and if the new owner would like I am willing to repaint the trunk lid and delete this??
The interior just like the rest of the car was restored a few years ago but still shows extremely well. NO rips or tears!! It still shows to be in great condition! It is fitted with aftermarket oil, temp amp gauges, aftermarket seatbelts and a Kenwood am/fm/cd player
As mentioned before a new 350/290h.p. crate engine was added by my friend in aprox 2008-2009. He purchased this engine from Berglund Chevrolet and I do have the receipt and less than 9,000 miles have been placed on it. With the headers, aluminum intake and a few more upgrades I would estimate this car to be a touch over 300h.p. The engine is mated to a newly replaced (replaced same time as engine) turbo 350 automatic transmission that shifts perfect and stock rear end geared at aprox 3:73. The car runs, sounds and performs excellent NO mechanical problems!! It was upgraded last year with power brakes, vintage a/c (blows ice cold) and a Be Cool aluminum radiator to ensure absolutely NO over heating. On the hottest of days here the car will not break 190 degrees. It can be driven anywhere with NO problems!!
All old classics always require some fine tuning or have a few bugs. Here is a few very simple things I have found will require some attention from the new owner..... The horn does not blow, the stereo works but does not pick up stations as the antenna has been broken from a car cover and the speedometer quit working a few months ago. Other than those minor bugs she is ready to enjoy!!
I am a licensed and bonded Virginia dealer but am not accepting any trades at this time.

Buick Encore, Chevy Trax earn Top Safety Pick from IIHS [w/video]
Thu, Feb 12 2015The Buick Encore has been a massive sales success practically from the moment it debuted, and Buick recently decided to increase production to keep up with demand for the premium compact crossover. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently put one to the test again, and the Encore earned a Top Safety Pick award. It's the first model from the brand to score the nod since 2013, according to the IIHS, and the rating also carries over to the 2015 Chevrolet Trax. The 2015 Encore scored a Good rating in all of the IIHS' evaluations, including the 40-mile-per-hour, small overlap front crash test. That was a big improvement over the previous model the institute tested, which scored a Poor result in the overlap test. In the first test, about 13 inches of the lower door hinge pillar came into the passenger compartment, and the steering wheel airbag moved too far to protect the dummy's head. Improvements for the latest model year showed six inches of intrusion this time, and the airbags caught the dummy's head well. The dummy's sensors also indicated a low risk of injury. The two CUVs missed out on the full Top Safety Pick+ because the IIHS scored the Encore as only having a basic front crash prevention system, and there was no such equipment for the Trax. To earn the highest mark, models need at least an advanced rating by the institute for this technology. Buick Encore, Chevrolet Trax earn 2015 TOP SAFETY PICK award ARLINGTON, Va. - A small SUV is the first vehicle from the Buick brand to qualify for a TOP SAFETY PICK award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety since 2013. The Buick Encore's newly introduced, lower-priced twin, the Chevrolet Trax, also qualifies for the honor. The Encore's award follows improvements to the SUV's structure for better small overlap front protection. The 2015 model earns a good rating in the small overlap test. In contrast, the 2013-14 Encore rated poor in the test. The driver's space was seriously compromised with intrusion measuring as much as 13 inches at the lower door hinge pillar. The dummy's head barely contacted the front airbag before sliding off the left side, as the steering column moved to the right. The side curtain airbag deployed too late and didn't have sufficient forward coverage to protect the head. In the latest test, the driver space was maintained reasonably well, with maximum intrusion of 6 inches at the door hinge pillar and instrument panel. The dummy's movement was well-controlled.
Leak reveals GM's 2017 heavy duty diesel trucks to get 910 lb-ft of torque [UPDATE]
Tue, Sep 27 2016UPDATE: Chevrolet officially announced specs for the 2017 Silverado HD and the rumors were true. The truck's new Duramax 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V8 puts out 445 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque. Chevrolet says the new motor produces 19 percent more torque and 12 percent more horsepower, while producing 35 percent fewer emissions. Overall, the new engine is a big improvement over the current motor, which generates 397 horsepower and 765 pound-feet of torque. According to Truck Trend, GM's newest heavy duty pickup trucks will pick up quite a bit more power and torque. The publication spotted a recent GM Powertrain ordering catalog that had the engine specs for the 2017 model year and managed to get some screenshots before the catalog was taken down, and they can be viewed here. The screenshots revealed that the 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8 powering the Silverado and Sierra heavy duty models will boast 445 horsepower and 910 lb-ft of torque. This is a substantial gain over the current models' 397 horsepower and 765 lb-ft of torque, and as Truck Trend points out, it exceeds the Ford Super Duty line's horsepower output of 440, but comes short of the 925 lb-ft rating. Truck Trend credits part of this output gain to the new intake system GM will introduce on the 2017 heavy duties. The intake gets 60 percent of its air from a scoop on the hood, with the other 40 percent coming from behind one of the front fenders. GM doesn't reveal horsepower figures in the press release about the scoop, but it does say the cooler air helps with maintaining the engine's output, and that the scoop does produce a ram-air affect, providing more air at speed. As we know, more air plus more fuel equals more power, but there's likely more to the power increase in this engine than only the intake.

It won't be long now before Nissan Leaf finally overtakes Chevy Volt
Thu, Dec 25 2014The two best-selling plug-in vehicles ever are the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf. When the two vehicles launched in late 2010, the plug-in hybrid Volt quickly outpaced the all-electric Leaf and, despite lots of ups and downs since then, continues to hold on to a cumulative sales lead. This will change in 2015. Cumulatively, from November 2010 through November 2014, the Volt sold 71,867 units while the Leaf trails with 69,220. That's a difference of just 2,647. Based on current trends (with the Leaf selling around 2,500-2,700 a month and the Volt at 1,500-1,700) we expect the Leaf to take over either in January or, more likely, February when the Leaf takes over as the most popular plug-in car in America. Perhaps even March, depending on how low the numbers are for January and February, which are always slow sales months in the US. Of course, once it takes the crown, the Leaf can't expect to easily hold on for long. A new Volt is coming in the second half of 2015, likely beating a new Leaf to market. The question is, then, how well the Chevy sells with all of its new bells and whistles. Do you think the Volt will be the comeback kid once the 2016 model becomes available?
