1957 Chevrolet Belair 4 Door Survivor, Lm1 Small Block 350, 4 Speed Transmission on 2040-cars
Portland, Oregon, United States

1957 Chevrolet BelAir 4 Door SURVIVOR!! VIN shows this is a factory V8 model Bel Air. This is a project I am selling because of my inability to finish. It has taken a great deal of time to get it to this point. Everything is bone stock 1957 Bel Air except the following items have been changed: It is currently setup with a 1982 LM1 Chevrolet Small Block 350 with 4 bolt mains. Someone 'procured' the Offenhauser Hi-Rise intake and 750 Holley double pump carb while those parts were being stored. Heads have been ported. This can easily be seen with the intake now gone. Storage debris has landed in the lifter valley area and would need cleaning before going further. Engine has been setup in place utilizing the original 1957 stock Chevrolet twin point mounts at the front of the engine block. 4 Speed Transmission is all setup with mounts, bell housing, flywheel, clutch and pressure plate fully installed. Driveshaft is installed in car as well. Dual exhaust is under car but not hooked up to the engine. Master cylinder and power brake booster bolted to firewall. Heavy duty cross flow radiator installed but not yet fully mounted. Close, but not finished. EVERYTHING else is stock 1957 factory correct Chevrolet Bel Air. Dash is not chopped up, stock steering wheel with unbroken horn ring, stock instruments with 110,000 miles showing. Car has NEVER been repainted and sports the original Ivory White over Turquoise paint. There is rust through in several places throughout (see pictures) but certainly not requiring giant patch panels to replace with the possible exception of the passenger front fender back lower section. Car has NEVER HAD A MAJOR ACCIDENT. This car has had only ONE REGISTERED OWNER it's entire life and that was the woman that owned it until her death in 1988. Furthermore, this car has only resided in Oregon since new and we do NOT salt the roads in the winter here so you do not see as much rust and corrosion in the body and on the frame as you might in many other states that do salt the roads. Most rust you see is surface only. Missing grille, hood latch and rear trunk lock. Hood and deck lid will be held in place by bungee cord for safe shipping. Seats were rotted from sun damage and were tossed but I saved some of the parts from them and these remaining parts are in the car now (see pictures). Headliner is removed but all bow pieces are in car as well. Any trim you see missing on the outside of the car is sitting in the car (see pictures). Both the i.d. plate on the firewall and vin plate on driver's door post are present and neither has ever been tampered with. Car is sold with bill of sale only. Titles are available on line. That is buyer's responsibility after purchase. Car is sold as is, just the way it is presented within the 24 pictures provided. Nothing is being held back or glossed over. What you see is what you get. $500 down payment must be paid within 48 hours of close of sale. Balance must be paid within 7 days of close of sale. I will store for up to 30 days for free to assist with buyer arranging adequate shipping and will assist in any way I can with the actual loading of the vehicle for transport after sale.

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
2016 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon recalled for opening console lids
Mon, Dec 28 2015The Basics: General Motors is recalling 9,200 examples of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado with build dates between August 25, 2015 and September 24, 2015, and the 2016 GMC Canyon manufactured from August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015. In total, 8,763 of these pickups are in the US, and the rest are in Canada or Mexico. The Problem: The console compartment lid could open in a crash, and the items inside the storage compartment might hit occupants during the accident. This fault puts the pickups out of compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The fix: Dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly with an improved part. If you own one: GM has not yet told NHTSA when the repairs for these pickups begin. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Console Door may not Fully Latch/FMVSS 201 Report Receipt Date: DEC 01, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V807000 Component(s): LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES Potential Number of Units Affected: 8,763 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle MakeModelModel Year(s) CHEVROLET COLORADO 2016 GMC CANYON 2016 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2016 Chevrolet Colorado trucks manufactured August 25, 2015 to September 24, 2015, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015. The affected vehicles have a console compartment lid latch assembly that may fail to keep the compartment door closed in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact." CONSEQUENCE: If the console compartment door does not remain closed in a crash, the contents stored in the console may strike the vehicle occupants, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 16370. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
