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..... |

Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.
My year in EVs: 8 electrics that are changing the car industry
Wed, Dec 1 2021The year 2021 will go down as an inflection point in the auto industry’s transition to electric vehicles. It's when many much-anticipated models became reality. No longer sketches or sketchy prototypes, electric vehicles appeared from all corners with everything from the Lucid Air to Ford Mustang Mach-E changing how we think about transportation. I managed to drive a lot of them, and as I went through my notes, I realized IÂ’ve got a mini memoir of the seminal EVs of 2021. HereÂ’s my take on eight of them. Hummer EV Easily the most over-the-top EV I tested this year. The 1,000-hp super truck lived up to the hype with its domineering presence, stupendous power and simply being a reincarnated Hummer. I took it for a short spin on- and off-road at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, Mich., and was impressed with the airy cabin, removable sky panels and expansive touchscreens. Yes, I crab walked, which felt like steering a pontoon boat, though I can see why it would be useful. Lucid Air Dream Performance The most beautiful sedan I tested all year, EV or otherwise. Unlike the futuristic Mercedes EQS — which is quite attractive — LucidÂ’s car is a blend of mid-century modern interior aesthetics and classic European exterior styling. When I walked up for my test drive, someone who IÂ’m pretty sure was comedian Jon Lovitz was sitting inside and taking it all in. As it sat in the valet of a hotel in a wealthy suburban enclave north of Detroit, the Lucid drew more attention than any of the Mercedes, Cadillacs or Lexus models passing by. The driving experience was enveloping. Starting at $169,000 for the Performance model (reservations are closed), the Lucid I sampled packed 1,111 hp and 471 miles of range. From the precise steering to the comfortable suspension, the dynamics were spot-on. It's a formidable product, and all the more impressive given itÂ’s LucidÂ’s first. Chevy Bolt EV The Bolt was the most pleasant surprise for me. It handled well, offered low-to-the-ground hot hatch dynamics and the steering was dialed-in. Adding a crossover variant for the new generation was a smart play. On a summer morning where I went to a first drive of the Ford Bronco at an off-road course, my hour-long commute in the Bolt was an enjoyable appetizer. The Bolt was also my biggest disappointment due to its extensive recalls for fire risk. Ironically, I had the Bolt in my driveway when the initial recall went out for the previous generation (2017-19).
