1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Base Hardtop 4-door 265 3-speed on 2040-cars
Idaho Falls, Idaho, United States
|
Found! An all original unrestored 1957 Chevy. The previous owner parked the car in 1984 to be restored. Lots of new and used parts were ordered and will be included with the sale. The engine was partially disassembled, rags were stuffed into holes, and the project was stopped and never completed. The owner has since passed on and I bought this from his wife. According to the Idaho DMV there was only one title prior to me. Overall the body and underside are in pretty good condition for the age. Some rust through in the floor pans. No signs of bondo or any kind of body repair. Except for the front left fender the body is pretty straight. Everything looks original, except for the voltage regulator which looks aftermarket. All of the windows and doors operate. There is a dent in the right rear quarterpanel, a few small dents on the roof, and it looks like the car ran over a rock. I do not see any major frame damage, just a dent on a support member. The frame looks straight. The front windshield needs replacing. This is a major restoration project, but car is pretty complete. Matching engine & VIN numbers, radiator # is correct, I didn't check others numbers. It looks like all of the parts removed from the engine compartment were placed in the trunk, and are shown on one of the pictures. The engine turns over freely by hand, not frozen.
For an extra $500 plus crating and shipping the buyer can have a nice 350 engine, has 4-bbl Rochester. I heard it running in the donor vehicle before it was pulled. The antifreeze was clear and green, the oil was light bodied and not burnt, oil pressure was good, idled smooth. Looking in the oil filler opening the valves and head are spotless. This was a recent high quality rebuild. The block was decked (no VIN) but other than that, I do not know what all was done, and I am not going o tear it apart to find out. The only way to find out exactly what is inside would be to tear it apart and measure everything. was just going to put it in the Chevy, replace the clutch, and drive it. Look closely at the pictures and you can see the engine on a stand. Email me for link to additional pictures. |

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4
Wed, 29 May 2013Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
GM raises 2023 guidance on strong sales, higher profits
Tue, Apr 25 2023General Motors beat first-quarter profit estimates and raised its full-year earnings and cash-flow guidance after vehicle demand at the start of the year surpassed expectations. Its shares rose in premarket trading. GM made $2.21 a share in adjusted profit in the first quarter, compared to a consensus forecast of $1.72 a share. Revenue rose 11% to $39.99 billion, it said Tuesday, which was more than the $39.24 billion analysts expected. The stronger results stem from rising sales in the US, even in the face of higher interest rates and inflation. GM executives said demand was strong enough to revise 2023 guidance upward, boosting profit estimates for the year by $500 million to between $11 billion and $13 billion. “We did it with strong production and inventory discipline and consistent pricing,” GM Chief Financial Officer Paul Jacobson said on a call with journalists. “All in all, weÂ’re feeling confident about 2023.” The Detroit automaker raised per-share full-year guidance to between $6.35 and $7.35, up from $6 to $7 a share, and said free cash flow would also increase by $500 million to a range of $5.5 billion to $7.5 billion. GMÂ’s shares pared a gain of as much as 4.4% before the start of regular trading Tuesday, rising 3.5% to $35.50 as of 6:55 a.m. in New York. The stock was up 1.9% for the year as of the close on Monday. North American Strength The automakerÂ’s sales were particularly strong in North America, where first-quarter earnings rose before interest and taxes rose to $3.6 billion. Vehicle sales rose 18% to 707,000 in the region. Jacobson said the company originally expected to sell 15 million vehicles in the US this year, slightly less than the 15.5 million annualized rate automakers foresaw in the first quarter. North American demand was enough to offset a weak performance in China, GMÂ’s second-largest market. The automaker continues to struggle in the country, where its vehicle sales fell 25% to 462,000 vehicles in the quarter. Profits from its joint ventures in the market slumped 65% to $83 million. The market has struggled overall in the wake of Covid-19 restrictions and foreign automakers have had to overcome a growing preference for Chinese brands by competing on price, squeezing profit margins. The situation in China probably wonÂ’t significantly improve until the second half of the year, according to Jacobson. GM remains on target to sell 150,000 electric vehicles this year, the CFO said.
Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
