1957 Chevy 2 Door Hardtop Belair Barn Find Project Gasser Hot Rat Street Rod on 2040-cars
Irvington, Alabama, United States
|
1957 Chevy 2 Door Hardtop, Factory 210 Inline 6 cylinder Car. This car has been sitting dormant since the early 70s. The story goes that the gentleman bought this car in the early to mid 60s, and started to add his own personal touches to the car, and turned the car into a weekend play toy for himself. In 1969 the gentleman was drafted to fight in Vietnam and the car was given to his dad to drive but the car was changed to a 4 speed vertigate shifter and the dad didn't like it that much and parked the car. The car then sat till late 72 when the young gentleman came home from the war. The car hadn't been run for close to 3 years, and he played around with the car and got it running and drove it a little and then parked the car once more when he bought a newer car. They said that he simple one day choose to go get him a new car and parked it, because their was a load of his stuff still in the car, even his original appreciation paperwork from the army was still under the seat when it was drug out of the barn. In the mid 60s he upgraded the motor and trans to what was at the time a new 1966 model 327 and a 4 speed, adding headers and straight pipes and putting a vertigate shifter in the car. He also took the factory bench seat out and added buckets to the car, that appear to be out of a Chevelle or impala. The car's door panels and rear seat were recovered and different carpet was added at that time. The original aftermarket parts stickers are still in the window from where he added upgrades and played around with the car. The car is only showing 46K miles, and that is the correct color for the car, the Imperial Ivory, but the car came with Silver Vinyl with Black and Silver Pattern Cloth interior from the factory. All the trim and pieces that are not on the body appear to be inside the car, from the best that I can tell everything appears to be their for the car. This is a project car, and it does have rust in all the normal places for one of these. This will certainly make some a great car once finished with some pretty neat history to go along with it. The car is for sale locally and may be subject to be taken off if sold. The car is also sold as is with no warranty. A 25% deposit is due within 3 days of the auctions end and the balance within 7 more when the car is to be picked up or arrangements are made for the car to be shipped. If you have any questions about the car please fill free to ask and I will gladly answer them to the best of my ability. Thanks and God Bless Charlie 251-751-7530 |

GM recalling 1.4 million older vehicles for oil leak fire risk
Tue, Oct 27 2015General Motors is recalling 1,411,332 older vehicles with its 3.8-liter V6 yet again due to a fire risk. Specifically, there are 1,283,340 of them in the US, and the affected models are the: 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue 1997- 2004 Buick Regal The fault with these vehicles is that oil can drip onto the hot exhaust manifold during hard braking, which can potentially cause of fire. In the last six years, there have 19 reported minor injuries from this problem but no crashes or fatalities, according to the company. Spokesperson Alan Adler also told Autoblog: "GM has reports of 1,345 fires in vehicles that were repaired under two previous recalls for this issue." At this time, GM is still developing a remedy for the problem. According to Adler, the company advised owners to park these vehicles outside for the previous recalls. "The cars can be safely driven. In cases where a customer reported an engine fire while driving, smoke was reported, which would be an indication of a malfunction," he said. This is GM's fourth recall for this problem since 2008, according to The Detroit News. At one point it was believed that aging valve cover gaskets allowed the oil to leak out and drip onto the manifold. A campaign in 2009 covered nearly 1.5 million of these models through the 2003 model year for the same issue. At the time, dealers installed new spark plug wire retainers as a fix.

GM is working on a remedy. The company is aware of post-repair fires in some vehicles but no crashes or fatalities. There have been 19 reported minor injuries over the last six years. These vehicles with 3.8-liter V6 3800 engines are affected: 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala, 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina and 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue and 1997-2004 Buick Regal. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total population is 1,411,332.
GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
