1957 Chevy Bel Air 2 Door Hardtop Barn Find Complete on 2040-cars
Williams, Iowa, United States

Up for grabs is my 1957 Chevy Bel Air 2 door hardtop. These cars are some of the most sought after automobiles by about every type of auto enthusiast from hot rodders to high end collectors these cars have been the holy grail of hot rods from the start. And unlike a lot of the cars the 57 Bel Air 2 door Hardtops not only hold their value they continue to rise. Here is your chance to get in on the action. My father in Law gave me this car about 10 years ago for my birthday. It had been parked since 1981 in my father in laws barn and needed work then, so when i had recieved it of course it was in need of full restoration. But I didn't care because it was a 57 Bel Air 2 door Hardtop. I figured that after I completed my existing project at the time (which happens to still be my existing project) myself or at least my son would get it done someday. The longer it sits the worse its gonna get so i figured i would give someone else the chance at restoring it the way it should be before theres nothing left to restore. So as the story goes as with time i am listing it here today. I really dont know anything about the car other than it is all original minus the trunk lid (was hit by a flying truck tire) and was replaced. Also the Carb, intake and valve covers are from a Corvette. The only piece missing is the front seat, a friends friend was restoring one and needed it, i knew mine would probably never get used even if i did restore the car so I let it go, at a hefty price of coarse. I tried to get the best pics I could to explain the condition, but here are the basics. The floors are pretty much non existant not completely but the majority. Rocker panels are gone. Rust behind the front wheels, pot metal chrome has pitting, body panels straight with exception of rust. The motor does not run currently, i am assuming the rings are stuck have not tried to spray anything in the plug holes or anything just because again i would not have used the same engine I think a guy could probably get it goin with a little effort because it did run when he parked it just smoking bad. The trunk seems to be fairly solid but I have not looked because the factory mat is still intact and didn't want to ruin it taking it out. Headliner is in good shape would clean up nice I think, the back seat is in good shape just filthy some good strong soap would do wonders. Under the hood looks complete as mentioned was driving it before it was parked. I guess for lack of knowledge of the car just ask me any questions and I will get the answers for you between my father in law and myself we will get answers back to you. Also if there are some specific photos you want let me know and I'll do my best to get them. My reserve is significantly less than my buy it now price. Good luck to all

Nissan Leaf hits 3,000 sales in July, Chevy Volt climbs over 2,000
Fri, Aug 1 2014It was a good sales month for both the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt, with the two 'elder statesman' plug-in vehicles reaching numerical milestones in July. The Leaf sold 3,019 units and the Volt crossed the 2,000 sales level for the first time in 2014, hitting 2,020 sales. With Tesla also announcing it is delivering around 2,500 Model S EVs a month (but that's globally, compared to the US-only numbers for the Volt and Leaf we're talking about here) and Ford's plug-in vehicles selling well, we are certainly in a golden moment for EV sales. The Volt was a bright spot for the Bowtie brand last month. For the Volt, the 2,020 units sold represents a 13 percent increase from July of 2013 even thought year-to-date sales are down 8.7 percent this year compared to last year. Overall, total Chevrolet deliveries for July 2014 were up eight percent compared to 2013, so the Volt was a bright spot for the Bowtie brand last month. On the Leaf front, this is only the second time that the EV has sold more than 3,000 units in a month (the other being in May of this year). The year-over-year increase for the Leaf was 62 percent in July and represents the 17th straight month of record sales, as Nissan is more than happy to report each month. Overall, Leaf sales are up 34.6 percent, year-to-date, and Nissan's director of Leaf sales and infrastructure, Brendan Jones, said in a statement that a free public charging incentive was responsible. "Since we launched the No Charge to Charge promotion in the first 10 markets, we've seen a surge in Leaf sales in those areas. Leaf sales in the northeastern US are also picking up with new tax incentives for Massachusetts and Maryland residents." With No Charge To Charge set to expand to 25 markets over the next year, we expect Leaf sales to continue to grow. We will have our monthly look at all green car sales available soon, so stay tuned.

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]
Thu, 07 Feb 2013For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.
Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut
Thu, 07 Mar 2013We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
