1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop with 283 V-8, Powerglide Automatic Transmission, Power Steering, and the most beautiful black paint you ever saw!

.

A tremendously beautiful car - that black paint is stunning, accented by the correct and authentic red interior.

.

My Favorite part of the '57 Chevy Styling is the rear quarter panel trim - so flashy, so Fifties, and on this car, so beautiful!

.

Arrow Straight bodywork too.

.

Beautiful grille emblem, and I love the Gold Anodyzed trim, just like it was when it left the factory.

.

Beautiful Chrome!

.

Wow! Look at that interior! Correct colors and fabrics, and a spectacular dashboard

.

Look how nice the doorjamb is, and the fresh weatherstripping.

.

Beautiful Dashboard

.

More beautiful Dashboard

.

Excellent door jamb right side.

.

The Brilliance of the Hardtop design, with no post to interfere with your view, is evident here.

.

Wow! Beautiful and correct.

283 V-8, nicely restored and finished like it would have been at the factory, with correct air cleaner and 4 barrel carburetor. I don't guarantee matching numbers, although the engine stamp ( T123F) is correct for a '57 283 with 2 barrel.

.

Nicely finished engine bay.

.

Pretty engine. I noted That, although the hood hinges were restored, the springs are a bit weak, and the hood needs an assist to stay open.

.

Clean!

.

Trim Tag.

.

Nice Clean and correct trunk area. The trunk pan sheetmetal is Solid and rust free, too.

.

Nicely finished trunk lid

.

Jack included

.

Also included are a nice pair of fenderskirts and a car cover

.

Here's the right side, showing off all that beautiful sheetmetal

.

OK now that we have a nice clean Epoxy Floor, I can get these photos without ruining my shirt! New Gas tank and exhaust system. It's fairly clean underneath, although it is quite obviously not a frame-off restoration effort, rather a high quality frame-on restoration.

.

Rockers and floors look nice, solid and original.

.

Here's the other side, looking good

.

The engine oil pan, aluminized exhaust, and steering apparatus

.

Although the trim is beautiful, I noted some flaws / dings in the stainless trim here and there, you can see an example in this photo on the lower stainless trim.

.

Again, beautiful trim but not perfect trim.

.

The chrome was all redone, but I noted a few scratches in the back bumper. Hard to see in the photo but they're there.

.

It's a spectacular car, with great colors, and an excellent driving experience. It runs and drives great, and can be enjoyed and admired by everyone right now!

After you sign a motor vehicle purchase or lease contract, it may only be cancelled with the agreement of the seller or lessor or for legal cause, such as fraud. However, California law does require the seller to offer a 2 day contract cancellation option on used vehicles with a purchase price of less than $40,000, subject to certain statutory conditions. See the vehicle contract cancellation option agreement for details.

These are the five most ridiculous attacks on the Chevy Volt [w/videos]

Thu, Aug 7 2014

It's been a long, strange trip for the Chevy Volt from the time when the now-odd-looking concept version (above) was introduced at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show to today. And now, General Motors announced that the second-generation Chevy Volt will make an appearance at the 2015 Detroit show in January. This debut represents a victory for GM with what has easily become the most politicized car of the 21st Century. There are plenty of reasons for someone to criticize the Volt, but what's amazing is just how much anti-Volt energy has been spent not on things like the styling or how the EREV setup is not as efficient as a pure-EV powertrain. As we wait for more official information on the new Volt, we thought it would be fun to go back and look at some of the most wildly incorrect reporting and strangest attacks on the Volt from the archives. There is so much good stuff out there, it was hard to pare the list down, but these are our five favorites. Amazingly, they're not all clips from Fox News. Check 'em out below. 5. GM Is Going To Stop Making The Chevy Volt In The US Do you remember when GM was about to move Volt production to China? Well, yeah, this was reported back in early 2012 when a GM executive mentioned that the automaker would get benefits of building the Volt in the places where it sells them. This was spun into a story of GM taking Obama bailout money and then running to China. The Blaze was not happy: "Given the fact that Federal government helped itself to millions and millions of taxpayer dollars under the pretense that it was going to combat high unemployment by creating 'green jobs,' it would seem that moving research and development (and possibly manufacturing) overseas is slightly, well, counterproductive." Well, of course, that never happened. There's no way to say that GM will never build a version of the Volt in China, but the news we hear rumors of these days is that GM is going to move production of more Volt parts (specifically, the motors) to Michigan from overseas. 4. The Chevy Volt Is A Fire Trap There has never been a Volt that just spontaneously lit up while driving down the road. Yes, there were Volts that caught on fire. Yes, that's a scary thing. But there has never been a Volt that just spontaneously lit up while driving down the road. These were crashed test vehicles with destroyed batteries and plugged-in vehicles that were not the cause.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers

Fri, 11 Apr 2014



Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
