1957 Chevy Chevrolet Bel Air Belair 2 Door Hard Top Project Rebuilt 283 on 2040-cars
Viola, Arkansas, United States
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.

Next Chevy Volt will be 2016 model and ride on new chassis
Fri, Mar 7 2014What do we know about the 2016 Chevy Volt? Well, for now, all we can do is try to put the puzzle together without the box. Thankfully, a new batch of pieces has arrived from a new report in Edmunds, which says that the 2016 model year will introduce the second generation of a car that hasn't been dramatically updated since it went on sale in 2010. The new Volt is getting an "evolutionary styling change" and will ride on a new front-drive platform that has been developed by General Motors. GM's Kevin Kelly told AutoblogGreen that he has "no comment on future products," but he did acknowledge that Chevrolet is working on a second-generation Volt, "but I can't say anything about timing." Everybody already knew that a next-gen Volt is coming, so that's not a surprise. What we don't know is any real concrete information on the car itself. The few tidbits of information we do have help define the outlines of the next version of Chevy's halo car, but they're not confirmed yet. For the record, they range from the eye-raising (a $10,000 price drop) to the logical (20 percent more electric range). We can't see the whole picture yet, but the pieces do point to the 2016 Volt, which would be released next year sometime, being a much bigger deal than the last update, when the Volt's range was increased by three electric miles thanks to a battery capacity increase of 16 kWh to 16.5.
Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015
Tue, Feb 11 2014Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper. For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011. The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors. While the adoption of SAE J2807 will be helpful for light-duty customers, those interested in bigger trucks will still be left with differing standards. There is no sign of the new tow standards being adopted for the heavy-duty market.
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.
