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..... |

Next Chevy Silverado could get this built-in tailgate step
Thu, Feb 2 2017General Motors just received patent approval for a tailgate step in a pickup bed. And given the timing, don't be surprised if you see this on the upcoming 2019 Silverado pickup (not the mention its GMC Sierra twin), expected to arrive in late 2018. According to the patent, granted in December of last year, the whole mechanism is housed in the tailgate assemble. The magic happens when a portion of the top half of the tailgate swings down and a step folds out. There's also a handle that locks into position to help climb up into the bed. As trucks get bigger and taller over the years, it gets harder and harder to access the cargo bed. Ford's solution with the 2009 F-150 was a step that slides out from the end of the tailgate. Back then, Chevy made an ill-advised ad highlighting the feature for Ford. And while Howie Long mocked the F-150's "man step" Ford saw almost a third of its trucks with the option in the first year. The GM design seems to improve on Ford's idea as it appears to be wider and has a back to the lower step. That is, you don't have to worry about stepping through the ladder-rung design as on the F-150. Ford's tailgate step later spread to the F Super Duty, and other cargo access assists have proliferated through the truck world. On the most recent redesign, the Chevrolet Silverado took a trick from the Avalanche and added cutouts to the corners of the rear bumper that act as a foothold. Ford also offers a deployable side step, Chevrolet has running boards that scoot rearward with a kick of the boot, and Ram offers fixed wheel-to-wheel side rails. Nissan is in on the game too, with an optional folding step that tucks under the rear bumper. We don't expect Chevrolet to comment on when or if we'll see this feature in the showrooms. But given that engineers are already hard at work on the next Silverado and the timing of this patent lines right up with the new truck's development cycle, we'll be disappointed if this patent stays in the file cabinet.

Retro Wrong: MotorWeek shares first unaired pilot episode
Fri, Apr 17 2015MotorWeek is an automotive institution in the United States. We all have to get our start somewhere though, and for the latest entry in the Retro Review series, the show is releasing its unaired pilot for the first time. Even today, the program isn't necessarily the most exciting thing on TV, but the modern incarnation looks like Top Gear compared to this original, very monotone attempt. The cars on display are more interesting from a historical aspect than actually being behind the wheel. MotorWeek puts the Chevrolet Citation and Ford Fairmont head to head. If you want to see progress in the auto industry, look here. The Fairmont manages a rousing 85 horsepower from a 3.3-liter inline six, and the Citation does only a little better with a 115-hp, 2.8-liter V6. The other highlight comes at the end when John Davis talks about the cars of the future. These include the upcoming introduction of the Ford Escort in the US and the mention of a possible gasoline-electric hybrid from General Motors. Given this pilot, it's amazing MotorWeek ever got the green light. However, if you're a fan of auto history, seeing the news from the past is always fascinating.

GM files for Z71 Trail Boss trademark
Mon, Jan 26 2015Try as they might to keep their plans a secret, automakers have their hands tipped through a variety of methods – be they through loose lips, spy shots or patent and trademark applications. That's how we know, in this instance, that General Motors is working on (or at least considering) an off-road machine wearing the name Z71 Trail Boss – the name which our compatriots at AutoGuide.com tell us that GM has registered for use on light-duty trucks. Now if that alphanumeric designator sounds familiar, it should. GM has long used it to designate the off-road packages on many of its body-on-frame trucks from Chevy and GMC. These days you can order a Z71 package on the Chevy Colorado, Silverado, Tahoe and Suburban and on the GMC Canyon, Sierra and Yukon. The package typically includes components like a beefed-up suspension bits, high-capacity air cleaner and underbody protection plates. The Trail Boss designator would seem to suggest something further reaching than a suspension package, though. Just what it would entail we don't know; minds immediately start running toward Chevy or GMC going after the Ford F-150 Raptor, but we'll likely be looking at something closer to the Trailhawk packages Jeep offers on the likes of the Renegade and Cherokee.
