1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Base Hardtop 4-door 265 3-speed on 2040-cars
Idaho Falls, Idaho, United States
|
Found! An all original unrestored 1957 Chevy. The previous owner parked the car in 1984 to be restored. Lots of new and used parts were ordered and will be included with the sale. The engine was partially disassembled, rags were stuffed into holes, and the project was stopped and never completed. The owner has since passed on and I bought this from his wife. According to the Idaho DMV there was only one title prior to me. Overall the body and underside are in pretty good condition for the age. Some rust through in the floor pans. No signs of bondo or any kind of body repair. Except for the front left fender the body is pretty straight. Everything looks original, except for the voltage regulator which looks aftermarket. All of the windows and doors operate. There is a dent in the right rear quarterpanel, a few small dents on the roof, and it looks like the car ran over a rock. I do not see any major frame damage, just a dent on a support member. The frame looks straight. The front windshield needs replacing. This is a major restoration project, but car is pretty complete. Matching engine & VIN numbers, radiator # is correct, I didn't check others numbers. It looks like all of the parts removed from the engine compartment were placed in the trunk, and are shown on one of the pictures. The engine turns over freely by hand, not frozen.
For an extra $500 plus crating and shipping the buyer can have a nice 350 engine, has 4-bbl Rochester. I heard it running in the donor vehicle before it was pulled. The antifreeze was clear and green, the oil was light bodied and not burnt, oil pressure was good, idled smooth. Looking in the oil filler opening the valves and head are spotless. This was a recent high quality rebuild. The block was decked (no VIN) but other than that, I do not know what all was done, and I am not going o tear it apart to find out. The only way to find out exactly what is inside would be to tear it apart and measure everything. was just going to put it in the Chevy, replace the clutch, and drive it. Look closely at the pictures and you can see the engine on a stand. Email me for link to additional pictures. |

The Volt Dance had precedent; meet the Chevy Footlockers
Sun, Dec 14 2014Marketing in the auto industry can get weird sometimes – really quite bizarre, in fact. For example, remember the Chevy Volt dance from the 2009 Los Angles Auto Show? If not, a group boogied to a song about the electric car, and it was every bit as awkward (and hilarious) as that sounds. In fact, that innocent bit of promotion lives in infamy, as some pundits grabbed hold of it during General Motors' bailout and asked why America's tax dollars were going to such things. The Chicago Auto Show has been digging through its vault of vintage videos, and it has come up with something that might actually be worse than that Volt-themed routine. They're called the Chevy Footlockers, and they're a dance troupe somehow promoting the Cavalier at the 1988 Chicago show. The connection between the car and their routine is unclear, but it's gloriously cheesy in a Chippendales-meets-AC Slater sort of way. Also, there are props towards the end, but we aren't going to spoil them for you, because you just have to watch for yourself. As a bonus, there's another (brief) clip below showing a female dance group with the Geo Tracker at the '91 Chicago show, and they sing, too. Scroll down to watch both of these oddities.

Audi S4 drivers are the most accident-prone, insurance report says
Sun, Jun 25 2023Culling data from more than 4.6 million automobile insurance applications, researchers at the Insurify insurance comparison marketplace picked a winner — or more to the point, a loser — in its determination of the car model with the most accidents so far in 2023: the Audi S4. Why does the sporty, luxury-class German sedan rank so high (or so low)? The organization found that S4 drivers, piloting a car with almost 350 horsepower, are among those who collect the most speeding tickets, and that they get into accidents at a rate 54 percent higher than the national average. If the S4 isnÂ’t a surprise with an at-fault accident rate of 11.7 percent, consider the “family friendly” brand that appears three times on the Insurity list: Subaru. It is represented by three models, including the turbocharged WRX and XV Crosstrek, and at the better-performing bottom of the list, the Subaru Impreza, with an accident rate of 10.3 percent. In 2023, 7.6 percent of U.S. drivers were involved in at least one at-fault accident in the prior seven years. For drivers of cars on this list, the average at-fault accident rate was 10.5 percent, meaning these drivers are 1.4 times as likely to have an at-fault accident on record. According to its statement, the Insurity data science team explored key safety features, driver behavior, and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) evaluations to pinpoint possible reasons behind these carsÂ’ high accident rates. Following is the list, counting down to the models with most reported accidents: 10. Subaru Impreza (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.3 percent; MSRP base model): $19,795) 9. Kia Niro (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4 percent; MSRP base model): $26,590) 8. Chevrolet Silverado LD (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4%, MSRP base model): $34,500) 7. Subaru XV Crosstrek (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.5 percent, MSRP 6. Subaru WRX.(percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.7% MSRP base model): $29,605) 5. Toyota GR86 (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.8 percent MSRP base model): $29,900) 4. Hyundai Veloster N (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.9 percent; MSRP base model): $32,500) 3.
