First let me start off by saying I am really going to be sad to see this one go...Bought this car for myself but i just do not have the time it needs with everything that is going on in my life , plus 2 other project cars that are not finished..........

1957 Chevy bel air , 2 door sedan , 283 v8 w/ muncie m21 4 speed transmission , this is a great starting point for someone...2 owner car ..

First 5 of Vin# VC57T

Motor is the original 283 that the car was born with , it has been rebuilt recently and has zero miles on it.... New unleaded heads ( have originals also ) , heads received a valve job , all new valves , springs , rockers , ARP studs and Head bolts , New crank bearings , new cam bearings , New oil pump , new oil pan (have original also ) new timing chain , new chrome timing chain cover , 2 barrel intake (have orig also ) , Mt valve covers , couple chrome trinkets brackets etc..I have the original generator , plus a new alternator depending on which direction you want to go..I have the fuel pump and a brand new electric fuel pump that is installed , orig has block off plate...All new hardware on this motor....Original exhaust manifolds , with new hardware new gaskets etc...Motor has all new fel pro gaskets , plus more ....It is ready to run for years to come.....

Transmission is a mid 60's Muncie m21 that has also been rebuilt , new clutch , good bell housing , new pressure plate , new throw out bearing etc...Gear box was gone through and anything suspect was replaced to the tune of $1500 ...Nice Hurst Bench seat shifter...Z bar and all linkages already installed in the car so headaches trying to figure it out.....Drive shaft all painted and ready to go back in also..

Old Ansen sprint style mag wheels , cool old wheels , one has a ding but holds air just fine...

Body on the car is in good shape , has all the factory trim still on it and in good shape..Couple minor dings in the stainless but can be fixed and polished.Bumpers are all there and in good core condition , they could be rechromed (which i would do) or replaced if you choose to go that route.Nothing fits better or is stronger then the factory stuff...

Body has some rust bubbles down on the rocker area , one spot on the passenger door where you can see a crack in bondo but otherwise the exterior looks pretty dang good ..One minor dent in top of passenger fender..The backsides of all the fenders and quarters look really good , they have not been all sauced up or welded up etc, they fell good with your hand and look to be rust free from the back side!!Thats a big plus!I took pictures of the back sides of the fenders and stuff but its hard to make out what the pics are , you can see that there is no rot though....The rockers down low need a little attention or replaced , the back side of the rocker (inner rockers ) need some work but just normal stuff , the toe board floor mounts need fixed , and a couple of the floor braces need some work....Otherwise the rest of the floor pan looks real good , the trunk pan looks real good too , hood is nice , as well as trunk lid.....The under side of the car still has factory under coating on it so it looks crusty but mostly just that old under coating...The frame is solid as a rock , i stripped it lightly when i first got the car and under coated it to protect it, Not trying to hide anything car will speak for itself..Looks ok for what it i but i was planning on a frame off at some point anyhow...This car is by no means a hunk of scarp , it is well worth putting the effort forward with...

I stripped and hand sanded the engine bay , pulled out everything , media blasted most parts i could get off and painted it with SEM rustshield , put everything back together and installed the motor/ trans , it looks awesome!! I was going to run the car for a while with the patina while i built a game plan to restore it..

I have 2 other cars in the middle of restoration but i wanted to drive and enjoy this one for while and not have to be afraid of every little thing....The brakes work , fuel lines are ran up to the engine bay , all wires are there , emergency brake works great , has dual exhaust which is hooked up so it really wouldn't take an awful lot to get this car running again if that's what you want to do with it....

The interior is all here , it has a black bench seat in front , a blue bench in rear , all window trim is there and in good shape , headliner is intact and not ripped but older , dash is mostly complete except to just bolt the cluster back in and other misc stuff.Steering wheel is a 210 wheel , but i think the only difference is the horn emblem or the center horn ring etc not 100% sure , it is in better shape then the original though so in it went....I have all the door handles and window cranks, arm rests plus extras from another car i took parts from.All glass intact with couple cracks , windshield and rear windshield are good as well as a couple others..I have two sets of door panels , the black set that match the front seat and the blue set that match the rear , I kept them around basically to pull the trim off of them and stuff but its up to you if you want to use them or not i don't think they are worth it...I have a brand new set of blank door panels i got from Danchuck that i was going to wrap in leather with inserts but you can do what you like...Just want you to know what you are getting with the car....

I have a bunch of extra parts that go with the car , basically a whole trunks worth... Original radio , orig heads , orig pans , new glove box , a bunch of old Orig gm hardware screws etc , misc extra brackets , NOS GM lower trunk trim w/ the 2 outside pieces too , (gm accessories ) , extra hinges , extra trim , electric wiper set up plus stock one , etc............Just a bunch of good stuff to have...

So that is the basic run down on the car , if i havent scared you off yet that is good because Overall the car is well worth fixing and will be a great project for some one , it was going to be for me but unforeseen things have come up and i need to sell, it pains me for sure but its the way it goes sometimes.If your handy you will be WAY ahead of the game with this one, there is already over 5k in the drive line you will not have to spend......Perfect father & son/daughter project, these old cars are just the coolest....There is no feeling like cruising the strip in a 57 chevy bel air, family in tow , fuzzy dice swinging in the breeze , arm out the window and just forgetting about work for a few hours......

Great Christmas present for yourself....

I have CT transferable paper work for the car which all ct gives for classics (check it out if you like) , you will get a title back in your own state unless its Ct , they take your titles and keep them...

The car is a project car so it is sold as-is , No warranty claimed in any way shape or form...I try to be very honest and straight forward with the descriptions because i know its hard to judge a vehicle without seeing it in person !if you would like to see the car in person please call or text the number below..You are NOT bidding on a chance to come look it over and decide, you are bidding to own the car....If you get here and the car is wayyy off on the description (within reason) i wont hold you to it...I am human and things might slip my mind but i assure you nothing major ..I will also update the ad with anything else i can think off as the week goes..Shipping is up to the buyer and on their dime , i have a buddy who owns a flat bed and can get you a reasonable price within a couple hundred miles or so if you want me to ask him..I will also assist in any way that i can in regards to picking up / shipping etc..I will pack the car good and make sure it gets on the truck safely..I will also make myself available to the shipper at any time he needs , up to midnight i understand they have a schedule and you want to get your new baby home quick as possible... $500 non refundable deposit due with 72 hours of auctions end , either by bank wire transfer or m/o etc....I would like to be paid in full within 7 days of auctions end also...I can hold the car in a secure building until you pick it up , if it is going to be longer then 2 weeks after auction we can discuss it..

Recharge Wrap-up: Batty battery covers, Mercedes at Silvretta, new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid available in 2015

Tue, Jul 8 2014

Apparently, Chevrolet Volt battery covers make suitable homes for bats. As part of an Eagle Scout project, Matthew Netherland created 30 bat houses out of scrapped Volt battery covers donated by Chevy. 22 of the bat houses will be set up near hydroelectric dams in Michigan. Each bat house will accommodate 100 bats, and divert the scrapped materials from the landfill. The battery covers also make great nesting boxes for wood ducks, which General Motors has previously set up at its Milford, Michigan Proving Ground. Last weekend was the Silvretta E-Auto Rally, which saw emissions-free vehicles cross the Montafon Mountains in Austria, including cars from Mercedes-Benz. These cars included the B-Class Electric Drive, B-Class F-Cell, SLS AMG Electric Drive and even the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive. Also on hand for the Silvretta Classic Rally was a V8-powered C111, a 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC and 300 SL Roadster. Read more in the press release, below. BMW has finalized pricing for the i8 in the US at $135,700 (plus $925 in destination charges). In addition to the base price tag, which we've known for a while, BMW Blog has the complete pricing guide with options and packages. Most of the i8 orders were the Pure Impulse World package, which includes various aesthetic upgrades. It also provides membership to the BMW i Pure Impulse Program, which allows you to "to enjoy innovative ideas and trends in a variety of areas, including home styling, culture, gourmet gastronomy, design and many more." Head over to BMW Blog for more information. The new generation of the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid will arrive later than the rest of the model lineup, confirms Car and Driver. While the gas-powered Sonatas get updated now for the 2015 model year, the Hybrid remains unchanged until late this year or early 2015, when it will arrive as a 2016 model. Hyundai is offering a 2015 Sonata Eco edition, but with 28 miles per gallon in the city and 38 mpg highway (32 combined), it's not quite as appealing as the current Sonata Hybrid's 36/40/38 figures. Read more here. In June, average US fuel economy was 25.5 miles per gallon, making it the fifth straight month above 25 mpg, according to University of Michigan. The average window sticker ratings from vehicles sold in June dropped slightly from 25.6 mpg in May. The year started at 24.9 mpg in January, and hasn't dropped below 25 mpg since.

Sunday Drive: A tale of old favorites and upcoming challengers

Sun, Oct 8 2017

Sedans and crossovers dominated the attention of our readers last week, led by the completely redesigned 2018 Honda Accord. It's the Japanese automaker's flagship, and people are seriously interested in finding out how good the latest Accord is. So interested, in fact, that no other single story came close to the brand-new Accord in Autoblog reader interest. Moving down the list we find the equally new 2018 Buick Enclave. The three-row crossover has a lot to offer a family, especially one looking for a nice, quiet ride. If you're looking for the exact opposite of nice and quiet, but still want enough room for you and your significant others, the Subaru WRX that we tested last week may be the perfect ride for you. Or, if you just want to drive fast and aren't at all worried about space, there's the Camaro SS. See? We offer something for everybody. From there, we look to the future. Who isn't interested in seeing the first fully electric vehicle from Porsche? And who isn't intrigued to see the Mission E testing alongside a gaggle of Teslas? A brand-new Jeep is always a big deal, especially when it's the revival of a classic nameplate like the Grand Wagoneer. And finally, we have something completely different: the Rezvani Tank. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Honda Accord First Drive | Feels like home again 2018 Buick Enclave First Drive Review | Fortress of quietude 2018 Subaru WRX Drivers' Notes | Turbo traditionalist 2018 Chevy Camaro SS Drivers' Notes | Demonstrative power, middling interior Porsche Mission E caught testing against Teslas Jeep three-row SUV caught on public roads — Grand Wagoneer, perhaps?
