1957 Chevy Bel Air 2 door post

The pictures say it all. This is a Northwest car that was sitting in dry storage for over 20 years.

Body and Chassis

Body is straight as an arrow. It has a fresh coat of black epoxy primer to prevent rust. The pictures of it in red coming out of the trailer were taken just last month, and you can see how straight it was then. The frame still looks solid, and the normal trouble spots were either addressed years ago or they are just remarkably well-preserved. I have most of the chrome, most of which is in really good condition. There are some minor rust issues near the door sills/pans (which look as if they have been repaired at some point), but in general, this is a super solid car that will make for a for a quick restoration.  I have all the glass for the car except the windshield and driver's glass.  That includes three vent windows (pics).  The glass is in good condition as well as most of the chrome trim.

 Engine and Transmission

It's exactly as it is in the pics - painted and super clean. It still has the dust from being in storage for all those years. Previous owner pulled this running, warmed-over 327 with a 4 speed tranny out of a 1966 Impala and dropped it in here (with new motor mounts). This 327 has an Edelbrock 4v intake and Edelbrock carb and already looks like its ready to show.. Check out the camel hump heads with matching paint in the finned aluminum valve covers. It still turns freely and has the drive shaft already installed. Save the money. If I put a few hours into this and had a runner/driver, the reserve price would be higher.

Interior

Not much to say here. If you're looking for old school original, this is it. Front seat has upholstery. The rear seat bottom is rough and it has the rear back frame.

Why buy it?

I NEED room in my shop and something has to go. This is the easiest, most complete project I have, so here you go. It's an easy build with a great head start. I was looking forward to building this tri-five. It's so complete, you should be driving it THIS summer. If you've always wanted that 57 Belair as your dream car, but didn't want to mess with exterior body work or rebuilding an engine/transmission, this is the car for you.

Terms and Conditions. Please note that all sales are binding and final. Cars are sold "as-is, where-is" with no warranty expressed or implied. Please carefully read the terms & conditions of the sale before bidding. Winning this auction does not entitle you to come inspect the car and decide if you want to buy it, but obligates you to complete the purchase! If you want to arrange for an inspection during the auction, I can recommend local professionals who will do so for a fee. All vehicles sold are either my personal property, or I may act as an agent for a personal friend, who has explicitly asked to have the vehicle listed and granted me the necessary POA to do so and complete the sale. Vehicle has a clear title. A $500.00 deposit via PayPal is due within 24 hours of the auction close ... NO EXCEPTIONS. At that point I have invested time in receiving bids, I will post negative feedback for non-payers. Coordinate directly with me for payment of the remaining balance. Selling price will determine which method I prefer. The vehicle MUST be shipped within seven (7) days of the conclusion of the auction. After that, I will have the option of terminating the sale at the forfeit of the deposit, unless you coordinate directly with me for additional storage. A storage fee of $25 per day then applies. Shipping is the exclusive responsibility of the buyer. Vehicles may be picked up with 24 hours prior notification during business hours and 10-3 on Saturdays. I strongly recommend professional shippers who use enclosed trailers. If you have ZERO feedback on eBay, you MUST call or message me to request authority to bid on a vehicle. I will cancel bids made without authorization. I do not release my reserve price, as this would be unfair to the other bidders, so please don't ask! Because I advertise elsewhere, I reserve the right to cancel any eBay listing at any time.

GM will recall more than 3.3 million vehicles in China for suspension defect

Sat, Sep 29 2018

BEIJING (Reuters) - General Motors' joint venture in China, Shanghai GM, will recall more than 3.3 million Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles stating Oct. 20 because of a defect with the suspension system, China's market regulator said on Saturday. GM Shanghai said in a text message to Reuters that the suspension arm may be deformed under extreme operating conditions, but there are no known casualties related to the issue. The recall includes cars produced between 2013 and 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement. GM will contact those affected and repair the vehicles free of charge, it said.

Ford also working on 200-mile EV to compete with Bolt, Model 3

Fri, Mar 6 2015

The Chevrolet Bolt is on a lot of people's radars. You may have even noticed friends and colleagues who harbor very little interest in the automotive world, or anything labeled as "green," who have taken notice of a 200-mile electric vehicle coming out of Detroit. Mass appeal is the idea, after all. You can include Ford in the list of interested parties, in this case with the intention of taking direct aim at the Bolt – and, by proxy, the Tesla Model 3 – with an affordable, long-range EV of its own. Ford will unveil its own long-range EV, positioned to compete with Chevrolet, later this year, according to Automobile. Details are very scarce about Ford's plans, but we do know that the Bolt (or whatever the Chevy all-electric hatchback will end up being called) is expected to offer over 200 miles of driving between charges, with a sticker price around $30,000. The other major player, of course, is Tesla's smaller, more affordable sibling to the Model S. The Model 3, also slated to go on sale in 2017, should cost less than $40,000. While Tesla has established itself in the EV world, another long-range EV out of Detroit would win some customers from the California-based startup. For now, though, we'll just have to wait, as Ford remains tight-lipped about its plans for the car. Automobile predicts a possible unveiling at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, what with California's EV mandate being a driver of strategy for various automakers. Most can agree, though, that a larger field of options – while not ideal for backers of the Bolt or Model 3 – will only benefit the car-buying public.
