1957 Chevy Bel Air Convertible on 2040-cars
Sparta, Tennessee, United States
A true American Classic! For sale is a beautiful 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible. This car has had a complete frame off restoration. The restoration is about six years old. The car has new quarter and rocker panels, and the floor is solid. All of the upholstery is new as well. The power plant in this car is a completely rebuilt 283 V8, with a brand new CM600 4 barrel Edelbrock carb. The transmission in the car has been completely rebuilt as well. The color of the car is base coat clear coat GM Matador Red. The frame was bead blasted and professionally refinished in high gloss black. Everything on this car works great. This restoration was done very carefully and the car was gone through with a “fine tooth comb” so to speak. We have literally touched every piece on this car. The only problems with the car are on the convertible top there are two small tears were the top meets the body & the rear right bumper guard has a small amount of surface rust. We never re-chromed that piece. All in all this is a very solid, well done car, that with be sure to turn heads! The milage on the car is 68304, that is the original mileage, however there has been maybe 1000 miles put on the rebuilt motor. The reason for selling? The owner, my father, is getting older and does not have time for this hobby any more. Please email for additional pictures, and for any questions. Thank you. The fantastic thing about this car is that IT IS A NUMBERS MATCHING CAR! The motor, tranny, generator, radiator, distributor housing, exhaust manifold, manifold intake, power steering pump, starter & rear and front differential, match. The convertible top also has the factory electric motor. The convertible top frame is original, and has been refinished in high gloss black. We believe that even the glass is original. I do have the original radio but it is not working. We have replaced it with a reproduction Wonder Bar that is AM/FM with a digital tuner. I also have the original Rochester 4 barrel carb that has been re-built. The car does have the original padded dash as well. I also have the original jack. Now for a list of some of the new parts, New top Firestone Whitewall original style tires from Coker floor braces New rear wells on both sides Lots of great new sheet metal parts from Dan Chuck and Ecklers. Leaf springs Dual exhaust system Spare tire All weather stripping was replaced Body mounts Bushings and ball joints Brakes all the way around And much more |

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt's new, improved powertrain; Inabikari wants to build Tesla Model X fighter
Thu, Nov 6 2014We knew the 2016 Chevrolet Volt's new powertrain would provide more range, but we didn't know how much. According to GM's Executive Director Larry Nitz, it is about 12 percent more, overall. "I can't think of a powertrain we've re-engineered more extensively within a five-year period than this one," he said. The battery, electric drive system and gasoline generator have all been reworked to allow for an overall driving range of up to 425 miles, with electric range speculated to reach 42 miles or more. The new Volt will also benefit from 20 percent quicker low-end acceleration, weight reductions and improvements in NVH. Read more at Hybrid Cars and at the SAE website. Hyundai's FCEV research and development boss, Dr. Sae-Hoon Kim, is optimistic about the future of hydrogen mobility in Japan. With the Tucson Fuel Cell already in production ahead of Toyota's FCV, Hyundai has a foothold in the hydrogen car scene. Kim believes that since the Fukushima disaster, Japan's attitudes toward energy make it friendly to a growing hydrogen economy. He also says that hydrogen won't be limited to Hyundai, with Kia getting all the battery EVs. "Both types are for both companies," Kim says. "For the moment, volumes are small and it is not wise to have Hyundai and Kia competing." Read more at Just Auto. The Latvian/German startup Inabikari is using crowdfunding to build an electric crossover for Europe. The Rev.01 EV hopes to compete with Tesla's upcoming Model X with a range of over 400 miles and a five-second 0-60 time. The group currently is trying to raise initial funds through an Indiegogo campaign, with hopes of more investment in the future and sales beginning in 2017. See the video below, and read more at Hybrid Cars and at the Inabikari website. Fuel economy and emissions regulations could lead to some interesting design changes to automobiles. The World Light Duty Test Procedure, set to replace the New European Driving Cycle in 2017, will push automakers to find new ways to reduce drag on their vehicles. For better aerodynamics, we could see traditional side-view mirrors replaced by cameras that display what they see on screens inside the vehicle. Another likely change will be the introduction of smaller, narrower wheels. Improving the average drag coefficient from 0.32 to 0.20 could reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 20 percent.

Take a close look at the guts of the Chevy Volt battery, powertrain
Sat, Aug 9 2014Just how intimate would you like to get with the powertrain in a Chevy Volt? If you're anything like YouTube user d55guy, then spending a half hour filming yourself taking apart the battery pack, motor, inverter and more for a look inside sounds like your idea of fun. After all, this way you get to see the cooling system, the heavy safety kill switch and count up the individual cells in the battery modules. Fun! Turns out, we also enjoy languidly paced Volt dissection video goodness, and we think you might want to see it as well. So, we've embedded two videos below and if you don't have a better understanding of how the Volt is put together after watching them, well, at least you can't say we never tried to show you anything. Given that what's really happening here is the organized 'destruction' of an expensive and potentially dangerous object, let's talk safety. There's a serious disclaimer at the beginning of the videos and on the YouTube description page, but we feel the need to repeat the gist of it here: do not try this at home. The creator of the video says he is a trained engineer and has been doing things like this "for the better part of a decade," so he apparently knows what he's doing. With that in mind, watch it all below. When you're done seeing the insides of a Volt powertrain up close, if you need more filmed EV dissection/destruction, check out this video designed for first responders approaching a damaged Tesla Model S.

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
