1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Base Convertible 2-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States
|
Barrett Jackson / Mecum quality restoration. Runs and drives like a new one, engine and Powerglide transmission have a couple thousand miles on them. It was built in Late May with the correct engine and transmission. The engine has all upgraded hypereutectic pistons, hardened seats, stainless valves, etc. to run standard pump gas. 283 with 2 bbl, power steering, push button radio, electric wipers with washer. Time for a new owner, I literally have too many trophies and too little time to enjoy this awesome car. Very fair reserve, check out the 2014 Dallas Mecum auction, (two days ago), one without the original transmission sold for 60k on day one, anyone who knows these cars knows the value. This is a nut and bolt, frame off restoration. This car was very solid to start with and disassembled, media blasted and epoxy primed. It was then painted with Sikkens base and three coats of clear, with 45 hours of wet sanding and buffing, the car looks like a new lacquer job with the durability of base/clear. The hood, doors and trunk open and close perfectly, with correct gaps. The undercarriage is correctly painted urethane based red oxide primer, with correct frame black. Convertible top frame was disassembled, rebuilt, and painted the correct Highland Green. The car is correct down to the clutch head screws that hold the fuel sender in the tank. It was restored to classic Chevy guidelines. Can send more detailed pictures if necessary. I reserve the right to end this auction early as I have it listed locally. Thanks for looking, please let me know if you have any question, thank you, Craig. On Sep-11-14 at 06:04:04 PDT, seller added the following information: To all who are watching/bidding on my vehicle. It has come to my attention that some watchers, one in particular, believe that my description of 'Barrett Jackson/Mecum quality' tells of an average, at best restoration. As I am not "a true insider, or a collector", as I was called by this E-bay member, I was not aware that describing my car as Barrett Jackson/Mecum was an insult to my car! I do know, however, that any auction has it's faults, and while I have never been to one of them, I have seen some very nice and high quality auction cars in person. So, I am not evading, or coming to some odd conclusions about my car, so if you have any questions about my car, feel free to ask, and if you are the high bidder, fly here or have a private inspection done before completing the transaction. As for all who have been stung by the actions of sellers in the past, remember that 'what comes around, goes around'. Thanks, Craig. E-mail me and I will give you my number, or I will call you..Thanks. |

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
Junkyard Gem: 1988 Chevrolet Spectrum Sport Coupe
Wed, Aug 23 2023Before General Motors created the Geo brand for cars built or designed by its overseas partners, the Chevrolet Division put its badges on U.S.-market versions of the Toyota Corolla Sprinter, the Suzuki Cultus and the Isuzu Gemini. Those cars were known as the Nova, the Sprint and the Spectrum, and all became Geos starting with the 1989 model year. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of the last Chevy Spectrums ever sold, found in a Denver self-service yard a few months ago. Midway through 1988, the Chevrolet Spectrum abruptly became the Geo Spectrum and was assigned to the 1989 model year. This car was built in May 1988, making it one of the very last of the pre-Geo Spectrums. The Chevrolet/Geo Spectrum was available as a four-door sedan and as a three-door hatchback, from the 1985 through 1989 model years. For 1988 only, a Spectrum Sport Coupe package, featuring some trim upgrades and these rad decals, could be had on the hatchback. This car was essentially identical to its Isuzu-badged counterpart, the I-Mark. In 1988, the MSRP for the cheapest possible Chevy Spectrum hatchback (the stripped-down Spectrum Express) was $6,495, while its somewhat better-equipped I-Mark twin started at $7,439 (that's $17,128 and $19,617 in 2023 dollars). Meanwhile, the base Hyundai Excel hatchback listed at $5,295 and the Yugo GV cost a hilarious $4,199 ($13,963 and $10,941 in today's money). Power came from this 1.5-liter SOHC four-cylinder, rated at 70 horsepower. A turbocharged version with 110 horsepower was available as well. You could get an automatic transmission in the Spectrum, but this car has the base five-speed manual. This car didn't get the optional air conditioning, but at least it has the traditional Isuzu HVAC control icons featuring blow-dried hair and high-heeled dominatrix boots. Just over 170,000 miles on the odometer. Someone installed a pretty good (for the 1980s) Blaupunkt Charlotte CR148 cassette deck in the dash. This was a necessity if you wanted to enjoy full appreciation of the music of the era. The Spectrum is special! It's as slick as city rain. "I didn't spend a lot of money but with my Spectrum it looks like I did." Joe Isuzu mocked Toyota salesmen when pitching the I-Mark. As was nearly always the case during the 1980s, the JDM ads for the same car were much more fun. They should have recreated this commercial with Spectrums.
Suzuki recalls 2 million cars globally
Wed, Apr 22 2015Suzuki is recalling two million vehicles across the globe, including a number of Chevrolet Cruze sedans that it builds for General Motors, because the ignition switches may begin to smoke. None of the Cruzes being recalled were sold in the US, though. This recall is limited to the Japanese, European and Australian markets. In Suzuki's home market, 1,873,000 vehicles are being recalled, including the Cruze and a number kei cars built for Mazda (the Carol and AZ-Wagon), as well as the automaker's own Alto, Wagon R and Swift. Affected vehicles were built between 1998 and 2009. The remaining 133,000 vehicles include Cruzes and other Suzuki products sold in Europe and Australia. There have been no reports of injuries or accidents due to the 67 reported incidents, all of which come from the Japanese market, a Suzuki spokesperson told Automotive News. Related Video:
