1957 Chevrolet 150 2dr Sedan on 2040-cars
Wellborn, Florida, United States

One of the most important things to know about this restoration is that it is done on an original V-8 car. Most '57 2-door sedans were six-cylinder cars from the factory. If you inquire from most advertisers of 150 models, regardless of their being original or modified cars, you will find that the car started life as a six-cylinder. Another factor of this 150 is that it was also a surf green car from the factory. Now for the restoration.
It is a rotisserie restored car. Stripped and repainted to surf green and white. The floor pans had some rust, so I replaced the entire floor from firewall to rear bumper with a one-piece 'All Steel' floor. The interior is a C.A.R.S. replacement original. The interior, dash, column, and steering wheel are factory correct. All '57 150 models had the same interior colors. The dashes were black regardless of body color. All rubber, wiring, glass and chrome are new. Stainless is polished to show quality condition. I consider the car to have only two options: the two-four motor and electric wipers. All other items have delete plates. The engine and heads were rebuilt. The engine block is stamped correctly as a 283 cubic inch, 270 HP motor. The block, heads, and intake are all 1957 components. The two carburetors were rebuilt and correctly colored by Bob Kuntz. The bat-wing air cleaner is correct, and the 3-speed and rear end were rebuilt. The exhaust system is aluminized, is '57 correct, and was purchased from Shafer's Classics in Tampa, FL. The tires are black-wall radials and are the correct size. The steel wheels are '57 correct. They are 14-inch solid wheels, meaning no dust slots. This 150 is correctly restored using correct nuts, bolts, body mounts and clips. The '57 runs and drives very well but as of this ad, the restoration has only two miles on the odometer. I have restored over twenty-five 1957 Chevrolets - sedans and hardtops, but mostly convertibles. All were body-off cars. Usually I will keep one for a little while, sell it, and look for another to restore. I enjoy the search for the cars, the teardown and the reassembly. Unfortunately, I can't keep them all. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to pull the listing at any time. Good luck in your bidding. |

Hot air balloons caught in high winds drag fullsize SUV
Mon, Jul 20 2015A sudden storm front whipped up enough wind to send some hot air balloons flying into the air in Wisconsin over the weekend. One ballon proved so energetic that it was able to drag a fullsize SUV across a field and into a stand of tents. The freak accident occurred at Balloonfest in Waterford, Wisconsin. Spectators were horrified as balloons dragged handlers to the ground and launched with terrified pilots clinging to their baskets. Organizers had started packing up the colorful balloons due to ominous storm clouds when the wind kicked up. "Happened just like that; it was crazy," Nathan Fricke, crew member, told Fox 6. Winds were clocked at 40 to 50 miles per hour. A balloon caught in the wind dragged a large SUV (we think a Suburban or Yukon XL) hundreds of feet and into a cluster of tents on the edge of the staging area where balloons were on display for festival goers. Considering that the SUV surely weighs well over 5,000 pounds, it's lucky that no one was injured in the incident. News Source: Fox6Now Weird Car News Chevrolet GM GMC SUV
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
