To paraphrase, the list of Tri-Fives out there that are as impeccably thought out, professionally restored and built, show-ready, and extremely driveable is a VERY SHORT list. I believe it would cost well over twice my reserve price to build this beauty, maybe more! I Will Not reveal my Reserve Price, so Please don't ask. And of course, the car is for sale locally, and reasonable offers will be considered, so I reserve the right to cancel this Ad at any time.
Before I go any further, allow me to make these following appeals and requirements known, and Thank You for reading and agreeing to same: If you're not absolutely serious about purchasing a car of this caliber, PLEASE DO NOT PLACE A BID. If you do not have the funds in readily available to follow through this purchase, PLEASE DO NOT hit the "Bid Now" button. I absolutely invite any potential bidder to come take a good look at this car before placing a bid. This car is located in Prescott, Arizona, about 1/2 way between Phoenix and Flagstaff (2 hours to each by car).
I will not accept any personal checks, cashier's checks, or money orders. A deposit of $500.00, via PayPal or cash will be due within 72 hours of purchase (close of auction). The full purchase price will be due within seven (7) days of purchase (close of auction). A Bank Wire deposit of funds is the preferred method of payment. If you bring that much cash, we will go to a local bank to very it's authenticity. Most of the large banks (B of A, BMO Harris, Chase, U.S. Bank, Washington Federal, and Wells Fargo) have local branches, as well as a number of other smaller and State Banks. If you bank at one of the banks represented locally, we can both go to that bank and arrange a Bank Wire deposit. We bank at one of the major banks.  If we happen to bank at the same bank (we can discuss this), that makes it even easier as the funds can be immediately withdrawn from your account, and deposited in our account. Again, Thank You. Unfortunately we don't know who we can trust anymore, and simply cannot be too cautious.
Believe me, you WILL NOT be disappointed. She's as fabulous one foot away as she looks in these pictures. I fell in love with this car the moment I saw it for sale. If this '57 sounds like what you are looking for, you like the subtle color schemes, I'm sure you will love the car as well.
This beautiful '57 210 started life in the G.M. assembly plant in Oakland, CA., and 805 miles ago was completely disassembled (Frame Off- every last nut and bolt!), and professionally restored and rebuilt into the masterpiece that you see here. Every single item on this car was new, rebuilt, or completely stripped and refinished.  NOTE: The speedo currently shows 805 miles, and I was told when I purchased the car that the speedo started at zero at the time of the restoration.    
The body was done on a rotisserie, professionally restored and painted in a glass-smooth, tutone paint scheme of Larkspur Blue & India White.  I'm fairly certain Larkspur is correct.  My research found that "Robin's Egg Blue" might be confused with Larkspur.  Larkspur was the correct name in 1957, and this car looks like the original color.  As seen in the pix, it is blue in the outdoor sunshine, and in my white-walled shop, under flourescent lights, appears slightly greenish). It is laser-straight, with no dings, dents, ripples or waves whatsoever. The matching underside is is as shiny and smooth as the car itself. The chassis was completely stripped and powder coated in semi-gloss black. All chrome and polished stainless trim pieces, as well as bumpers appear as new.
The soft leather interior is finished in a beautiful tri-tone scheme of off-white, very light gray, and dove gray, with charcoal carpeting.
New wiring and a Dakota Digital VHX-57C guage/speedo system were installed.
Air temperature is provide via Vintage AC/heat system. There is no music system installed (who wants to hear anything but the deep-throated roar of the engine!).
A brand new G.M. Performance Parts Crate ZZ3 engine was installed (engine # V0520ZZ3). The specs as advertised are as follows: 350 cu. in. (5.7 liter); 345 HP @ 5200 rpm; 387 ft. lbs. torque @ 3250 rpm; aluminum heads; 9.8/1 compression ratio; hydraulic roller tappet cam (intake valve lift =.474", and exhaust valve lift = .510"); 1053 forged steel "pink" rods; forged steel crank; 4-bolt main bearings; hypereutectic aluminum pistons. Polished aluminum valve covers, Edelbrock 1406 carburetor, chrom AC compressor and alternator as well as many polished or chrome engine accessories.
The power is hooked up via a smooth-shifting Keisler Tremec 5 speed manual trasmission, and 9" Ford rearend. An aluminized 3" exhaust system features 18" Flowmasters and ceramic coated headers.
Steering is handled Flaming River Rack & Pinion power steering, with the small p.s. pump, and a poslished external fluid reservoir.  It has a Flaming River chrome, tilt steering column. 4-wheel power disc brakes with slotted and cross drilled rotors provide the stopping power, with anti-swaybars front and rear.
Polished 17" American Racing Hopster wheels front and rear are wrapped in Nitto NT 450 tires, 225/50R 17 in the front, and 255/50R17's in the rear.
This fabulous '57 is sold As-Is, Where-Is, with No warranty, expressed or implied. The buyer will be responsible for transporting the car after sale is completed. Of course, I will assist in loading the car for transport, if help is requested.

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."

GM recalls 330,000 fullsize trucks for airbag replacement

Sun, May 31 2015

General Motors has announced a recall of 330,198 fullsize pickups in the US in the aftermath of the announcement made on May 19 that doubled the number of vehicles being called in to replace Takata's defective airbag inflators. That announcement expanded the nationwide recall to an estimated 33.8 million vehicles in the US. Heavy Duty versions of the 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra are included in GM's move, for the purpose of replacing the passenger airbag inflators. The announcement made by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association cited long-term exposure to moisture as a possible cause of the inflator issues. GM says it isn't aware of any problems with the recalled pickups due to moisture, nor has it had any reports of crashes, injuries, or fatalities, and has not received any complaints. GM will notify owners, who can then take their trucks to the dealers to have them repaired free of charge. You'll find a statement from GM and the recall notice from NHTSA below.

GM is not aware of any humidity-related ruptures in Takata air bag inflators in any GM-badged vehicles in the field and knows of no crashes, injuries, fatalities or complaints regarding air bag performance in these vehicles.
