You are looking at a 57 Chevy Bel-Air 4 Door. The car is in nice original condition. From the information given by the previous owner, the car was bought in Florida, went to Indiana then to New York. The car spent most of it's time in a garage. The previous owner had the 2 speed powerglide rebuilt and also replaced the gas tank and sending unit. I bought the car with the intention to restore it completely. Out of all of the tri five Chevys that I have owned, this is by far the greatest eye catcher of them all. The quarters look solid, and the doors also close solid. I recently had the front end of the car painted. Replaced the eyebrow chrome on both sides, the gold grill, the fender end and the cone on the left side, and left spear chrome on the door. The only trace of body filler that I can see is a little patch on the right fender by the wheel well. The car seems to have the original glass, only the drivers door has a light crack in it. The windshield is in good shape but has the usual dings and light scratches that any antique vehicle would have. Like I stated earlier I had intended to keep and restore this car, so many parts have been replaced. The car has a new die hard battery, a new re-built 2 barrel Rochester carb. ordered special from a well known rebuilding company. ( The cost of this was 350$ alone.) It also has new rear springs and shackles, all new wheel cylinders, new brake hoses, new spare tire, new bezels in the tranny linkage, new tail lenses, new wiring for headlights, new directional lenses, tune up ( points, plugs, condenser, cap rotor plug wires), rebuilt master cylinder, new upper and lower ball joints, ( I don't like the way the grease fittings accept the grease into the new joints...so I bought a new set of MOOG ball joints that will be included with the car.) It also has new inner and outer tie rods, a new idler arm, a new center link, brand new rocker panel chrome, upper and lower control arm bushings, new front shocks, new transmission mounts. The dash board is in nice shape, car does have the original steering wheel. The car also has the original turquoise/black interior, the head liner is in good shape as well as the carpet. The front seat cover will have to be replaced since it is the original. The drivers side of the cover is torn. The door panels look to also be the originals. The tires are in decent shape, they are repros of the originals. I placed four original spinner 57 Chevy hubcaps on the wheels and they look great. The motor is a 283 which runs well. (The previous owner claimed it to be a 58 283.) It sometimes smokes at start-up but then clears and runs smooth, the previous owner replaced all the gaskets for the motor. The car has good power for a 283 and drives great on the highway and feels totally roadworthy. The dual exhaust system with glass packs gives the motor that old fashioned rumble. All of the lights works as well as the gas gauge, the car has also been converted to an alternator. There are a few issues that do have to be repaired. The tranny linkage has to be adjusted slightly so it can be shifted into park correctly. The tranny itself shifts really well, it does not slip at all....tranny fluid is clean. Also the horn and the neutral safety switch do have to be repaired. I have a rebuilt original steering column that is included with the car, so those two issues can be repaired right away. I also have a spare NOS original distributer that I was going to put into the motor, which also comes with the car. Despite these issue this is a beautiful car in nice original condition. The car has never been altered in any way. My family and I take the car out every weekend during the spring and summer to local cruises. It never fails to turn heads. Like I said earlier, it is the most eye catching car I have ever owned. We are stopped constantly by admirers who wish to have their picture taken with it. I really don't want to part with this 57, but I have lost my storage space and I am unable to keep it in my possession. From the amount of parts that were placed into this car, you can see I did not want to sell it, but I have no choice. It's a very beautiful car, you will not be disappointed!!!!!! See videos of the '57 below. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.. I will do my very best to address any and all of your concerns. This car is to be sold on a "AS IS" basis. There are no warranties, or guarantees. Buyer must pay in full before the car leaves property. Payment be made within 3 days of auction end. Buyer is responsible for all shipping/transporting and fees and charges. Please feel free to ask any questions before bidding. PLEASE....SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY.... US ONLY. NO REFUNDS..... |

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
Which of these five plug-ins should win the 2017 Green Car of the Year?
Tue, Nov 8 2016It's going to be a competitive race for the 2017 Green Car Of The Year. With a minivan in the running for the first time in ages, the five finalists announced by Green Car Journal today include five very different plug-in vehicles. As Ron Cogan, the editor and publisher of Green Car Journal, said in a statement, "electrification is now considered by most automakers an essential technology for current and future high-efficiency models." Let's check out the list: Toyota Prius Prime, the updated plug-in version of the world's best-selling hybrid. Chevy Bolt, GM's all-new entry into the long-range EV game. Chrysler Pacifica, a family hauler with the ability to go 30 miles on electric power. Kia Optima. The nomination is for the full line-up, but really the hybrid and plug-in hybrid models are the green stars here. BMW 330e iPerformance, one of the automaker's many new plug-in hybrids that bring battery power to models outside the i sub-brand. Green Car Journal will announce the winners at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 17th, along with some, "other green transportation announcements," whatever that means. Last year, the winner was the 2016 Chevy Volt, the first model to snatch up two wins. Which do you think should win this year?

2015 Chevy Silverado Custom Sport is subtle in black
Mon, Jan 12 2015In a world where trucks are growing bigger, bolder grilles and more muscle-bound looks, Chevrolet is trying something a bit different with its recently revealed Custom Sport edition for the 2015 Silverado at the this year's Detroit Auto Show. The edition leans on being understated, instead of screaming about its abilities. The design is supposed to be a throwback to the Chevy Custom Sport Trucks of the late '60s that brought a touch of elegance to these usually utilitarian vehicles at the time. The heart of the package is its monochromatic body-color touches for the bumpers and grille surround. The one on display at the show is especially attractive with a chrome-accented black grille that fits perfectly with the rest of the body. The edition does get a bit more shine with chrome covering the 20-inch wheels, door handles, mirror caps and side moldings. In addition, buyers get projector beam headlights, tow hooks and heated power mirrors. The custom package is available on the LT trim in black or white and on the LTZ in black or White Diamond Tricoat. Take a look at this monochromatic take on the Silverado as it sits in the Motor City. 2015 SILVERADO OFFERS CUSTOM SPORT PACKAGE Inspired by Chevy Custom Sport Trucks that helped launch personal-use pickups DETROIT, 07/01/15 – With the new 2015 Silverado Custom Sport special edition, Chevrolet pays homage to one of its most iconic pickups, adding a sophisticated monochromatic look to double- and crew-cab Silverados. The Custom Sport package features body-colored front and rear bumpers and a body-colored grille surround with a chrome-accented black grille. Other accents include 20-inch chrome wheels, chrome door handles and mirror caps, and chrome body-side moldings. The package also includes projector beam headlamps, tow hooks and heated power-adjusted mirrors. "The Custom Sport special edition was inspired by Chevy Custom Sport Trucks of the late 1960s," said Sandor Piszar, Chevrolet Trucks marketing director. "Those CST models added a touch of elegance to a great all-around truck, just like the Custom Sport package for the new Silverado." The redesigned 1967 Chevrolet pickup entered the market at a time when trucks were starting to move off the jobsites and into the driveways of cities and suburbs. The 1967 Custom Sport Truck, with its bright trim, plush carpet and bucket seats, helped launch a wave of personal use pickups that continues today.
