1957 Chevy Project Car. This is a solid beast ready to be taken to the next level. It was fairly solid from the start. Has new floor pans, inner and outer rockers, and some new braces here and there. The floors are sprayed with truck bedliner on the top and bottom. Body was off the frame. New body mounts and bolts are installed. The frame was stripped down, cleaned and sprayed with chassis black. The rear springs were moved inward with a McGaughys weld in spring pocket kit. Included new spring bushings. Shock relocation bracket was also welded in while the body was off. New shocks. Front end needs rebuilt. No motor, no trans, no drive shaft. All of the body parts were very solid and have just some small patch panels welded in before paint. The body was down to bare metal and epoxy primed. The doors open and close nice. The hood has one weak hinge but shuts good. Trunk needs a new latch. The body work is decent and fairly strait. It looks good considering black is the most unforgiving color. The paint is Dupont Basecoat/clearcoat. It has some imperfections, most of which can be wetsanded and buffed out. I did a quick sand and buff after it was painted to knock down the orangepeal but I didn't go crazy. There is a ton of clear to work with. The stainless on the sides are in good shape. They can be polished better, but I don't have the patience. I have the right fender spear ordered and it is included with the car and will be installed by Thursday. New door, trunk, glovebox lock with keys. New door handles. New tail light lenses. All new stainless hardware. The bumpers and other trim that is painted was not good enough to keep chrome. They will be good cores if someone wanted to swap them. I didn't go too crazy painting them. The charcoal pieces still show imperfections up close. I have the stainless trim for the front and rear windshield, also included. Wheels are 20x10 in the rear and 20X9 in the front. Tires have about 50 miles on them. If you don't want the wheels, I will deduct $750 from the winning bid and put some rollers on it. I have some new odds and ends pieces to the car. Some gaskets and weatherstrip. No interior. Back glass is included. Any questions, give me a call at 570-299-1755. I have a clear FL title in my name to the car. This is a big boy toy, so check with your wife, your girlfriend, your mom, your dog, or whoever you need to before bidding. I have the reserve set for the lowest amount I will consider for this car. If the reserve isn't met, the car will not sell. I am in no rush to sell the car, but am a motivated seller. Most of my auctions don't run the full 7 days, so feel free to send your best offer. The car can sit here as long as you need if its paid in full and I can recommend some transporters if you need.
If you have less than 5 positive feedbacks or just signed up with ebay in the past few months, call before you bid or I will cancel your bid.
The only trade I will consider is an old chevy 2 door or pickup project car and a fist full of cash. No boats, motorcycles, tractors, airplanes!!!!!!!

The biggest gas-guzzlers of 2024: 'The Meanest List' is the opposite of greenest cars
Thu, Mar 14 2024In some circles — especially some automotive circles — bigger is better. This explains the Hummer, for example. In its so-called “Meanest List” of a dozen models, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) makes no apologies for berating “the worst-performing mass market automobiles” sold in 2024 in the U.S. The most diminutive car on the list is a Chevy Corvette Z06. At the top of this particular heap is the Mercedes-Benz AMG G63, a gas-powered SUV that the environmental agency says was “the worst-performing vehicle of the more than 1,200 models assessed by Greener Cars and has an annual fuel cost over $4,000.” Not to mention its MSRP of around $184,000. Rank Make & Model Powertrain Green Score MSRP Estimated Annual Fuel Cost* 1 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Gas 20 $184,000 $4,242 2 Ram 1500 TRX 4x4 Gas 22 $98,335 $3,819 3 Ford F150 Raptor R Gas 24 $79,975 $3,777 4 Cadillac Escalade V Gas 26 $152,295 $3,388 5 Dodge Durango SRT Gas 26 $74,995 $3,332 6 Jeep Wrangler 4dr 4X4 Gas 27 $35,895 $3,260 7 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4x4 Gas 28 $91,945 $3,058 8 Mercedes-Benz G550 Gas 28 $143,000 $3,186 9 GMC Hummer EV SUV EV 29 $98,845 $1,746 10 GMC Sierra Gas 29 $37,700 $3,069 11 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Gas 30 $114,395 $3,169 12 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S680 Gas 30 $234,300 $3,031 *ACEEE analysis using EIA data of the annual cost of driving 15,000 miles In terms of numbers, the dirty dozen of the meanest includes seven SUVs and three trucks. Lonely at the middle of the list is the sole electric, the GMC Hummer EV, which weighs in at 9,000 pounds. The council notes that “though EVs have lower emissions than similarly sized gasoline models, the Hummer demonstrates that size and efficiency, not just fuel source, are important factors in a carÂ’s environmental impact.” ItÂ’s also worth reminding prospective buyers that the average fuel cost of a vehicle on the “Greenest List” eats up only a fifth of the fuel cost of a vehicle on the Meanest List, “showing that greener options can also be more affordable.” The ACEEE also put out a "Greener List" of efficient gasoline and hybrid cars that don't require plugging in. By the Numbers Green Cadillac Chevrolet Dodge Ford GMC Hummer Jeep Maybach Mercedes-Benz RAM Emissions Fuel Efficiency Green Automakers Truck SUV Electric Hybrid
AMC Trans Am Javelin SST, an ultra-rare underdog, is up for auction
Sat, Sep 9 2023Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang — the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint — red, white and blue — and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its “ram induction system” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 — a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale. No bid estimate is available yet. Related Video: Motorsports Chevrolet Ford Pontiac Auctions Automotive History Racing Vehicles Classics
GM expected to debut two new crossovers at Detroit Auto Show
Thu, Dec 15 2016Next month, General Motors is expected to debut two new crossovers at the North American International Auto Show. That's according to Automotive News and The Wall Street Journal, which reports that the successors to the aging Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Terrain will finally make their debut. The two crossovers have been on sale since 2009 and 2010 respectively and are due for updates as the competition has newer models on the market. Both crossovers play in growing market segments where sales success is crucial for the respective brands. GM, and the automotive industry as a whole, has been shifting its focus towards crossovers in the last few years. The Traverse and the Terrain are some of the oldest SUVs on the market and are in dire need of an update. GMC's Acadia, the former corporate clone to the Traverse (and Buick Acadia), switched to a new platform in 2016. And the Terrain's platform-mate, the Chevrolet Equinox, was revealed a few months ago. Both the new Chevy and GMC models are expected to go on sale late in 2017 as 2018 models. Look for a follow up to the Traverse's sister, the Buick Enclave, to make an appearance soon.
