1957 Chevy Belair 2dr sedan
Car was professionally appraised. This is what he said....
I have inspected the following vehicle and found a driver quality survivor. This car is what I'd call a backwards restoration!. What I mean is restoring the drive train and interior first. All the running gear is new and fresh. The motor is a new 350 ci 300 hp with new Edelbrock carburetor and intake. Its equipped with an H.E.I. distributor, headers and all new exhaust system. It has a rebuilt 700 R4 transmission with a B & M mega floor shifter. Also has been upgraded with a 9" Ford rear end and new brakes. Front suspension with upgraded with 2" drop spindles and power disc brakes and 605 power steering box.
The body is in very good shape with little or no damage, but has some minor rust in lower trunk deck lid. It's been shot with a semi-gloss nostalgia appearing paint job but needs repainted. All the stainless trim is complete and in good shape and bumpers, grill and hood bars are also straight but needs re-chroming to take the car to the next level.
Now the interior is this car's strong point. It's been completely restored inside with all new black dash and windo moldings. It has a Bel Air dash insert added custom auto sound AM/FM Stereo with hidden antenna and 6 x 9 rear seat shelf speakers. It has a flaming river tilt column and Corvette style leather covered steering wheel. Also equipped with nostalgia retro Sunpro tach. The seats front and rear, side panels and headliner have all been restored with the coveted Del ray interior package. Dynomat sound deadening and new carpets on floors and trunk.
Its got a new windshield and all glass has been re-set and restored with new glass channels and felts installed throughout. Also has new door and trunk seals and all rubber details. Fuel system was also replaced with new tank, hoses and sender. It has a gold Bel Air mesh in the grill and Bel Air quarter panel inserts on rear quarters. It rolls on Centerline billet wheels and radial tires.
New fuel tank and hoses. New balanced driveline. Flaming River tilt column with 605 pwr strg, new front end w/cross, drag & idler.Retro Sun Tach, New headers and exhaust.All new wiring original gauges rewired and working (except odometer)..New "classic radio" and electric wipers with delay.Floor pans and door posts replaced and d/s rocker panel. Dynamat through out interior. Heat, fan, vent and defrost all working.Original seats with correct stock "Del Ray" interior complete. All interior knobs, handles and arm rests correct new.All glass good, new window, door and trunk seals. New correct trunk carpet. New correct side and review mirrors.Centerline Wheels, all chrome in place.
Its ready to drive anywhere, but needs exterior restoration to be a top notch unit.

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above.

Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
