Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Some checking of paint on hood and dash panel see picture. Small rust bubbles on lower right door are pictured. The car was restored in the 80's so expect some chips in paint, but overall a very presentable car."

This is a 1957 model 210, 4 door sedan.  The car was restored in the mid 80s. It was painted the original colors Harbor blue and Larkspur blue. The plastic bubble seat covers were hand made for the interior. The exterior and interior were left in stock condition adding the sun visor and fender skirts (not installed, but go with the car). The chrome is in great condition with only the front hood trim showing signs of age. The stock radio was replaced with an aftermarket FM/casette unit without disturbing the dash, I don't have a cassette to see if it works. The car has the  Kleenex dispenser, door handle guards, door window visors, electric wipers, dash mounted sun prism, heater and owners manual. From all outwards appearance the car is stock.

Over the years after the restoration the owner started adding upgrade features. A correct 245hp block was found and rebuilt using hardened seats in the heads. This is the 245hp version with solid lifter cam, 997 heads, centrifugal  distributor with pertronix  ignition installed. A correct numbers matching two four barrel carb and intake manifold were installed, with correct linkage and the domed top fuel filter. It uses the 3/8 fuel line from tank to carb. The tank and sender unit are new also. I do not have the batwing air cleaner. The cast iron manifolds were replaced with headers and a full aluminized exhaust system, with crossover pipe. There is a four core radiator installed with a five blade fan, the car doesn't overheat in parades. It uses a late model alternator and Optima battery.

The driveline has a 700R4 overdrive transmission. The rear gears are 3:55 posi track  from a 62 Chevy with Strange axles. New rear springs. For stopping a power a four wheel disc brake system was installed. Because 15 inch rims were required for the disc rotors ( Chevy had 14 inch rims in 57) wheels from a 90s Chevy  S-10 were used. This made us use wheel covers from a 56 Chevy (15") to replace the 57 14 inch covers. Steering is a power rack and pinion unit.

Please note, ebay requires an odometer number, the number showing on the car is 34527 but there is no way to verify it. In Texas if a vehicle is over 10 yrs old no matter what the mileage is the title comes back without the odometer reading. The restoration was done on a low mileage car in the 80s but its anybodys guess what the true mileage is.

In short if you check the Ecklers catalog the add on options with the labor it took to install them far exceeds the reserve price. Its like buying the options and getting the car free. The car has a current Texas inspection sticker. It drives well with good tires and in the four years I've owned it has placed in many car shows. The winning bidder must submit a $500 deposit through pay-pal within 48 hours. The balance can be paid when the car is picked up. Fayetteville is located west of Houston, southeast of Austin and east of San Antonio.

The Corvette Museum sinkhole has been filled

Wed, Feb 11 2015

After swallowing eight of the most prized pieces of the collection from the National Corvette Museum, the massive sinkhole from a year ago is rapidly becoming nothing but a bad memory. Based on the museum's weekly construction update, you can barely see the remnants of the 25-foot deep hole once in the floor. The Corvette Museum's Skydome was not always going to look like this. The original hope was to keep the sinkhole there as a tourist attraction. That plan eventually fell through, though, and instead it was decided five of the less-damaged Corvettes would remain unrestored. Progress has been moving fast to get the repairs done. Even a month ago, the hole was still very visible, and the construction company used remote-controlled Bobcat loaders to fill it in. Now, the museum has launched a contest to guess how many tons of stone it took to fill in the massive crater. The winner gets a print of the 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil being lifted out.

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
