 FOR SALE:
1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop 2-Door
283 c.i. V8 paired to a 4-speed manual transmission-the pair is freshly (o miles) rebuilt
Fresh black paint on all body panels
The car is incomplete, as you can see, and it is at the perfect stage for anyone who wants to complete the car in original fashion or go with a more modern look.  I was going with a more modern look, therefore, I purchased a new set of 17-inch REV wheels and Hankook Ventus tires for the car.
The exterior is free of any trim or bumpers but the car will be accompanied by a portion of the original exterior trim including the front and rear bumpers and the Bel Air fin plates.  The car will also be accompanied by a small portion of the original glass and glass trim, the majority of which I have deemed not salvageable.
The body is very straight and the paint job is of high-quality.
The interior remains incomplete but the sheet metal throughout the interior and the trunk is solid.  I have a full set of seats and interior panels that are in good condition and  covered in black crushed velvet upholstery.  The interior will still need metal trim, carpet, insulation, gauges, and luxuries.
The car runs and drives as it sits.
I infer that if you are looking at buying one of these cars, you have the knowledge to recognize what this car needs to be complete.  This would be easy for somebody to complete before spring and cruise season.  This car would also be perfect for someone who wants to ditch the existing power train for an LS motor or a big block and go the pro-touring route with this car.
I had planned to finish the car within the next year but a recent, unexpected occurrence forces me to sell the car.
As you know, the '57 Bel Air Hardtop 2-door is one of the most highly-sought after cars in history and when you buy this car, you will be making a sound investment.
The car holds a clean and clear title that is ready for transfer to the new owner.

I will gladly provide you with more information if you are seriously interested in the car.  I will receive the purchase amount in full in a secure payment form (cash, wire transfer, or a certified bank check) before the car or the title will leave my possession.  I will gladly accommodate any logistics arrangements but the buyer will need to fund those arrangements. I can reached by voice or text at (270) 748-1882.

I appreciate your interest and happy bidding!

*It turns out that I have a front and rear windshield for the car.  These will be included.

*A picture of the cowl plate has been uploaded to the picture sequence.  This will allow you to verify that this car is what it is advertised as.

*The tires and wheels have 0 miles on them.

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.

Leaked GM document shows GMC Sierra I6 diesel is more powerful than F-150's

Thu, Oct 4 2018

GM told us earlier this year that the 2019 GMC Sierra would be getting a 3.0-liter I6 diesel option, but it never mentioned power or fuel economy figures. Hold the phone though, because a leaked GM Canada document just showed up online that lists out the details we've been waiting for. Originally published by TFL Truck, the 3.0-liter oil-burner supposedly makes 282 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. For those who are counting, that's more than the Ford F-150's 250 horsepower and 440 pound-feet from its 3.0-liter diesel. It soundly bests the 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque from Ram's 3.0-liter diesel as well. Fuel economy is another story, though. The promotional material states that it will get 28 mpg on the highway, which is 2 mpg short of the F-150's 30 mpg — mind you, it's only capable of that magical 30 mpg figure in rear-wheel drive form. There's another caveat here, too; these are numbers for Canada, so they're not exactly finalized EPA figures. However, we wouldn't expect drastic differences between the two when the American numbers come out. The leaked documents also state the diesel Sierra will be capable of towing 7,800 pounds. That number seems remarkably low when compared to the F-150, which can tow up to 11,400 pounds with its diesel. Extra power and torque would have us assume that GM could get even better numbers than Ford, so we're going to hold our final judgment for official word. A 10-speed automatic will do the shifting on the diesel, just like on the 6.2-liter V8. Since the Chevy Silverado is also expected to get this engine, we can assume the figures would be almost, if not identical, to those we see here. We recently drove the 2019 Sierra and Silverado without the diesel engines, so go check those reviews out if you'd like to know more of our thoughts on the redesigned GM trucks. Related video:
