To paraphrase, the list of Tri-Fives out there that are as impeccably thought out, professionally restored and built, show-ready, and extremely driveable is a VERY SHORT list. I believe it would cost well over twice my reserve price to build this beauty, maybe more! I Will Not reveal my Reserve Price, so Please don't ask. And of course, the car is for sale locally, and reasonable offers will be considered, so I reserve the right to cancel this Ad at any time.
Before I go any further, allow me to make these following appeals and requirements known, and Thank You for reading and agreeing to same: If you're not absolutely serious about purchasing a car of this caliber, PLEASE DO NOT PLACE A BID. If you do not have the funds in readily available to follow through this purchase, PLEASE DO NOT hit the "Bid Now" button. I absolutely invite any potential bidder to come take a good look at this car before placing a bid. This car is located in Prescott, Arizona, about 1/2 way between Phoenix and Flagstaff (2 hours to each by car).
I will not accept any personal checks, cashier's checks, or money orders. A deposit of $500.00, via PayPal or cash will be due within 72 hours of purchase (close of auction). The full purchase price will be due within seven (7) days of purchase (close of auction). A Bank Wire deposit of funds is the preferred method of payment. If you bring that much cash, we will go to a local bank to very it's authenticity. Most of the large banks (B of A, BMO Harris, Chase, U.S. Bank, Washington Federal, and Wells Fargo) have local branches, as well as a number of other smaller and State Banks. If you bank at one of the banks represented locally, we can both go to that bank and arrange a Bank Wire deposit. We bank at one of the major banks.  If we happen to bank at the same bank (we can discuss this), that makes it even easier as the funds can be immediately withdrawn from your account, and deposited in our account. Again, Thank You. Unfortunately we don't know who we can trust anymore, and simply cannot be too cautious.
Believe me, you WILL NOT be disappointed. She's as fabulous one foot away as she looks in these pictures. I fell in love with this car the moment I saw it for sale. If this '57 sounds like what you are looking for, you like the subtle color schemes, I'm sure you will love the car as well.
This beautiful '57 210 started life in the G.M. assembly plant in Oakland, CA., and 805 miles ago was completely disassembled (Frame Off- every last nut and bolt!), and professionally restored and rebuilt into the masterpiece that you see here. Every single item on this car was new, rebuilt, or completely stripped and refinished.  NOTE: The speedo currently shows 805 miles, and I was told when I purchased the car that the speedo started at zero at the time of the restoration.    
The body was done on a rotisserie, professionally restored and painted in a glass-smooth, tutone paint scheme of Larkspur Blue & India White.  I'm fairly certain Larkspur is correct.  My research found that "Robin's Egg Blue" might be confused with Larkspur.  Larkspur was the correct name in 1957, and this car looks like the original color.  As seen in the pix, it is blue in the outdoor sunshine, and in my white-walled shop, under flourescent lights, appears slightly greenish). It is laser-straight, with no dings, dents, ripples or waves whatsoever. The matching underside is is as shiny and smooth as the car itself. The chassis was completely stripped and powder coated in semi-gloss black. All chrome and polished stainless trim pieces, as well as bumpers appear as new.
The soft leather interior is finished in a beautiful tri-tone scheme of off-white, very light gray, and dove gray, with charcoal carpeting.
New wiring and a Dakota Digital VHX-57C guage/speedo system were installed.
Air temperature is provide via Vintage AC/heat system. There is no music system installed (who wants to hear anything but the deep-throated roar of the engine!).
A brand new G.M. Performance Parts Crate ZZ3 engine was installed (engine # V0520ZZ3). The specs as advertised are as follows: 350 cu. in. (5.7 liter); 345 HP @ 5200 rpm; 387 ft. lbs. torque @ 3250 rpm; aluminum heads; 9.8/1 compression ratio; hydraulic roller tappet cam (intake valve lift =.474", and exhaust valve lift = .510"); 1053 forged steel "pink" rods; forged steel crank; 4-bolt main bearings; hypereutectic aluminum pistons. Polished aluminum valve covers, Edelbrock 1406 carburetor, chrom AC compressor and alternator as well as many polished or chrome engine accessories.
The power is hooked up via a smooth-shifting Keisler Tremec 5 speed manual trasmission, and 9" Ford rearend. An aluminized 3" exhaust system features 18" Flowmasters and ceramic coated headers.
Steering is handled Flaming River Rack & Pinion power steering, with the small p.s. pump, and a poslished external fluid reservoir.  It has a Flaming River chrome, tilt steering column. 4-wheel power disc brakes with slotted and cross drilled rotors provide the stopping power, with anti-swaybars front and rear.
Polished 17" American Racing Hopster wheels front and rear are wrapped in Nitto NT 450 tires, 225/50R 17 in the front, and 255/50R17's in the rear.
This fabulous '57 is sold As-Is, Where-Is, with No warranty, expressed or implied. The buyer will be responsible for transporting the car after sale is completed. Of course, I will assist in loading the car for transport, if help is requested.

Electric Cadillac Lyriq, Chevy Bolt EUV and more GM electric cars are on the way

Wed, Mar 4 2020

GM’s murky and somewhat secretive electric car plan is falling into place, as the company dumped a massive amount of information about whatÂ’s in the pipeline at an event at its Warren, Michigan campus today. New EVs are going to be popping up across the GM brand lineup, with new entries from Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and Buick in progress. We also learned some big news about GMÂ’s new Ultium battery tech today, but check out this story for all of those nitty-gritty details. The electric vehicle onslaught will begin with the Cadillac Lyriq, an electric SUV thatÂ’s already been teased out. Naming it the Lyriq is the news today. No explanation for the name was provided, so weÂ’ll have to wait for April to learn more. GM didnÂ’t specifically say if the Lyriq would be launched at the NY Auto Show, but that show (assuming coronavirus doesnÂ’t cancel it) will begin on April 8 this year. Next up in the order of events is the GMC Hummer electric truck that we know will be launching on May 20. This truck will use GMÂ’s modular Ultium battery technology. However, the wait to buy a GMC Hummer will be a long one, as the truck isnÂ’t going to dive into production until fall 2021 at GMÂ’s Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM revealed that its new modular Ultium batteries can be configured anywhere from a 50 kWh pack to a 200 kWh pack depending on the application. Range is estimated to be about 400 miles on the upper end with the largest battery pack, and GM continues to boast about a 0-60 mph acceleration time of three seconds. Charging estimates for the Ultium battery-equipped Hummer EV were also provided. GM says its truck platform will have 800-volt battery packs and be capable of 350 kW fast-charging. Time estimates werenÂ’t given, but those numbers suggest the truck will be a rapid charger. The Hummer truck on hand, which was the same that previously starred in GMC's Super Bowl spot, showed off removable roof panels that store in the frunk, as well as what appeared to be a version of GMC's Multi-Pro tailgate. It also featured sail panels on the sides, similar to those in front of the bed of the Chevy Avalanche. In addition to the Hummer, expect to see a couple Chevys launching. GM says the refreshed Bolt EV will be launched “in late 2020” with a refreshed interior and what appear to be thicker front seats.
