1957 Chevrolet Corvette Base Convertible 2-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
Bedford Hills, New York, United States
1957 CHEVROLET CORVETTE
Correct numbers, rare late production 283cid/283hp, fuel injection, four speed, positraction, Bloomington Gold and NCRS Certified
1957 was considered a magic year for the Corvette with new configuration options setting the stage for both track dominance and the icon status it enjoys today. First year for the "fuelie", first year for the 4-speed that was available starting in April and the first time a vehicle achieved one horsepower for one cubic inch of displacement via the 283cubic inch/283 horsepower EL engine option. What makes our offering it so collectible? First of its kind - our frame-up restored beauty has the newly available options of Rochester fuel injection combined with the 4-speed transmission only available on late '57 builds. A turning-point car - The 4-speed and hi-lift cam engine option producing the top power of all the road-going 57's. Less than 715 were built and while it became a favorite on the track - including a win at Sebring - the unintended result is that very few complete examples survive today. Last of its kind - Many consider the two headlamp Vettes to be the epitome of the early marque production models. In 1958 the quad headlight design appeared so this late model '57 with its classic design and performance transforming mechanicals make it the last and best of its kind. When considering a valuable classic; proof of pedigree is key. This code-correct late production model comes with the most trusted credentials in the land. After the restoration this vehicle received both Bloomington Gold and NCRS Top Flight certification. It has been driven very few miles since. This concours-ready '57, Arizona delivery example has all the attrbutes that make it a must for the serious Corvette collector. Unbelievable level of restoration, coveted Venetian red, hi-lift cam 283 hp engine, late production Rochester FI, original 4-speed transmission, positraction rear end, radio/AC delete option and trusted certification that confirm what the number codes on it represent. When comparing the value of this example to other 1957 Vettes; the value is self-evident to one who knows '57 Corvettes and what it takes to bring an original fuelie car up to this level of restoration. The more you know, the closer you look; the better you will like it. It can't be duplicated for the price we are asking. |

Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette
Thu, 14 Feb 2013When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 concept suggests a diesel off-road future
Thu, Nov 20 2014"It takes the Colorado to a whole new place." – Mark Reuss The Chevrolet Colorado looks set to gain a more capable off-road version, with the company previewing a potential design direction with a ruggedized concept Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Called the Colorado ZR2, the concept brings back the name used on off-road-tuned S-10 and Blazer models in the 1990s and 2000s. The ZR2 has a track that's four inches wider than the Colorado Z71, which is currently the line's most capable off-roader. The ZR2 is fitted with a new grille, power-dome hood, custom wheel flares and off-road-style fascia that reduces overhang and has flip-out aluminum tow hooks. It's all slathered in an outdoorsy hue dubbed Cyprus Green. The are electronic locking front and rear differentials, skid plates and mono-tube coilover shock absorbers. It all rolls (or crawls) on 275/65R18 off-road tires wrapped around custom 18-inch aluminum wheels. There's also a spare tire assembly mounted in the bed, which has a spray-in liner and 48-inch lift jack should things go afoul on the trail. "It takes the Colorado to a whole new place," Mark Reuss, General Motors executive vice president of global product development, said at the reveal. Power comes from the 2.8-liter Duramax diesel engine making 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. This engine will arrive later in the year in the production Colorado. While the ZR2 remains only a concept, it suggests a new path for the Colorado – one we hope Chevy decides to take. Chevrolet Introduces Colorado ZR2 Concept Aggressively styled, more capable and driven by new 2.8L Duramax diesel engine LOS ANGELES – Chevrolet today introduced the Colorado ZR2 concept – a vision of how Chevrolet could take the all-new midsize truck's off-road capability to the next level. It also showcases the new 2.8L Duramax diesel engine that will arrive in the Colorado lineup later next year. The aggressively styled concept builds on the capabilities of the production Colorado Z71 and advances the legacy of Chevrolet's previous ZR2 production models. "From the bold stance to the trail-ready special equipment, the Colorado ZR2 is all about the fun of driving where the pavement ends – and doing it in characteristic Chevy style," said Tony Johnson, Colorado marketing manager.
Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows
Wed, 13 Mar 2013While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.
