1957 Bel Air 2 Door Hard Top on 2040-cars

East Bernstadt, Kentucky, United States

Up for auction is a 1957 Chevy 2 Door Hard Top Bel Air.  No engine or transmission.  I do have a 1957 motor 283, but it is not the original engine that came out in the car.  It is still together but would need completely gone through.  If the buyer wants the engine, I will include it with the car. 

My family has owned the car for close to 25 years where it has been kept inside a garage for the duration of this time.  The only thing that we ever did to the car was pulled the bumpers off with the intentions of having them re-chromed - but it never came to pass.  I re-installed them right before I pulled the car out of its resting place and cleaned it up for the pictures shown.

If you wanted to make a driver out of the car, it is in good enough shape.  You would just need to do a motor, transmission, brakes and fuel system.  If you are looking for a show car, this would be an awesome solid start for a complete restoration. 

You'll note from the pictures that this car has fuel injection badges on the front fenders.  That is how we purchased the car.  I can't confirm or deny that it came from the factory that way.

I know it is hard to buy from a picture, so I took a lot of different shots and also made a video.  In my opinion, the car has a pretty solid body - looks like the worst is the bottom quarter panel on the drivers side (right in front of the tire).  The passenger side door has also been scraped and dented.  You should be able to see in the pics that I pulled the seats and carpet out to get some photos of the floor pans so you can get a more clear picture of the condition that the car is in and then of course I reinstalled the carpet and seats as they were.  It will need driver and passenger side front floor pans.  The rear floor pans, trunk pan, and fire wall appear to be very solid.  The front floor pans would be okay if you are just fixing a driver.  It has one front and one rear body mount rusted out on the drivers side and has one rear body mount rusted out on passenger side which should be visible in pictures.   This car would be in rough shape by some peoples' standards, but a great start for others.  We obviously saw something in it to store it for 25 years.

If you would like to come by and look at the car or send an inspector, you are more than welcome.

GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.

My year in EVs: 8 electrics that are changing the car industry

Wed, Dec 1 2021

The year 2021 will go down as an inflection point in the auto industry’s transition to electric vehicles. It's when many much-anticipated models became reality. No longer sketches or sketchy prototypes, electric vehicles appeared from all corners with everything from the Lucid Air to Ford Mustang Mach-E changing how we think about transportation. I managed to drive a lot of them, and as I went through my notes, I realized IÂ’ve got a mini memoir of the seminal EVs of 2021. HereÂ’s my take on eight of them. Hummer EV Easily the most over-the-top EV I tested this year. The 1,000-hp super truck lived up to the hype with its domineering presence, stupendous power and simply being a reincarnated Hummer. I took it for a short spin on- and off-road at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, Mich., and was impressed with the airy cabin, removable sky panels and expansive touchscreens. Yes, I crab walked, which felt like steering a pontoon boat, though I can see why it would be useful. Lucid Air Dream Performance The most beautiful sedan I tested all year, EV or otherwise. Unlike the futuristic Mercedes EQS — which is quite attractive — LucidÂ’s car is a blend of mid-century modern interior aesthetics and classic European exterior styling. When I walked up for my test drive, someone who IÂ’m pretty sure was comedian Jon Lovitz was sitting inside and taking it all in. As it sat in the valet of a hotel in a wealthy suburban enclave north of Detroit, the Lucid drew more attention than any of the Mercedes, Cadillacs or Lexus models passing by. The driving experience was enveloping. Starting at $169,000 for the Performance model (reservations are closed), the Lucid I sampled packed 1,111 hp and 471 miles of range. From the precise steering to the comfortable suspension, the dynamics were spot-on. It's a formidable product, and all the more impressive given itÂ’s LucidÂ’s first. Chevy Bolt EV The Bolt was the most pleasant surprise for me. It handled well, offered low-to-the-ground hot hatch dynamics and the steering was dialed-in. Adding a crossover variant for the new generation was a smart play. On a summer morning where I went to a first drive of the Ford Bronco at an off-road course, my hour-long commute in the Bolt was an enjoyable appetizer.  The Bolt was also my biggest disappointment due to its extensive recalls for fire risk. Ironically, I had the Bolt in my driveway when the initial recall went out for the previous generation (2017-19).

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
