Here is my 1957 Chevy Bel Air 2 door hard top project.  It does have an original 57 283 V8 engine block that has been rebuilt to factory specifications.  The numbers on the block are 3731548.  The heads are power pack but not sure of the dates on them.  The engine came with the car and the man I bought it from a couple years ago said it was the original engine.  The intake is a 57 four barrel.  The numbers on it are 3731398.  Some of the web sites say the  numbers on the block are the same as the Fuel Injected 57 Corvette.  The body has ben patched with quarter patch panels on the passenger side.  It needs more work to be smooth.  The drivers side is pretty good.  The floors have been replaced.  The toe panels from the engine compartment show the patch and cutout area.  The trunk needs to be repaired.  The back glass area has rust through at the rubber area.  The front windshield lower corners have been cut and replaced with patch and fiberglassed where there was some rust.  The floor braces are good and original but the body mounts are dried and cracked.  The transmission was a 3 speed manual from the factory but I have replaced it with a 350 turbo automatic that also has been rebuilt.  No seats other than a four door rear seat and a four door front seat and a 1960 Chevy front split back seat. The hood is nice and so is the drivers front fender.  The passenger front fender has a crack at the bottom.  The doors are good and in primer.  There are many parts with this car and several duplicates as I have been buying parts for a couple years for this.  There are many stainless parts that are extras but the buyer can use them to sell or trade for what is needed.  There are about 6 window flippers, 6 rear side glasses and many extra side stainless.  The quarter fender scripts are nice.  There are duplicate headlight buckets.  There are 3 radiators that are not tested and probably need repair.  One is a 57 another is 55 with transmission cooler fittings.  There is a new in the box gas tank and new power brake master cylinder not installed.  New wheel cylinders and brake shoes not installed.  New windshield rubber not installed.  No glass other than some vents and rear side glass.  Does have a rear back window that is used.  This car is sold AS IS totally as a project.  To be paid for within 7 days.  Can be picked up within 30 days.  It has been in the garage for a couple years.  Needs restored.  Title is in my name.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.

Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures

Tue, Jun 23 2020

It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski  Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.
