235 Cid 3 Spd. Manual With 2 Sod Overdrive, Unrestored And Original on 2040-cars
Clearwater, Florida, United States
The facts: 1957 Chevrolet, 210 sedan, 235 CID 6 cyl. engine, 5 SPEED TRANS! 3 speed manual with 2 speed overdrive in 2nd and 3rd gear. 52,600 miles on odometer. The mileage is ORIGINAL. Radio delete with factory face plate, driver and passenger rear view mirrors. The interesting: This car is unrestored. Everything works including the cigaret lighter, dome light, dash lights, heater fan, glove box light. It has the original T3 headlights and windshield wipers. I have the ORIGINAL Briggs and Straton ignition key.Tires are original replacements, and yes, they are bias ply. Better start turning the steering wheel ahead of time. I only replaced anything that was needed to make the car safe and road worthy. These include: heater hoses rebuilt cylinder head brake wheel cylinders and linings leaf springs gas tank and straps. I have left everything else as original as I can. I have not “dressed, covered, hidden, repaired, detailed” anything that would detract from the original-ness of the car so you can see everything. The caveat: I was told this is original paint. (see history). I have had discussions with many different people including body shop painters that say it may be original, it may be repainted. You make your own determination. There is some patina in the hood and on top of the fenders. There are some scratches. I am still selling this car for this price. I can keep the car. If I keep it I will leave it exactly the way it is now. The history: This car was purchased in Brandon, Wisconsin, from the Miller Chevrolet dealership, by a man named Ornie Miller. (I don’t know the spelling of either Miller, and there is no relation of Ornie to the dealership). He purchased it when he was 59 years old as a Sunday driver, hence the missing radio. He just wanted to relax. I believe he served in the Civil Defence project as evidence of the decal in the passenger wing window. I’ve wanted to check the internet to see if his name comes up on any rosters. He sold the car to Mark Kholmann of Saint Cloud, Wisconsin in 1989. Mark drove the car on Sundays and to weekend shows. The car was stored for a long time, and I purchased it last year with 47,300 miles on it. I have put over 5,000 miles on it. I drove this car from Wisconsin to Florida in January. I drove 75 MPH and the car got 18.3-18.9 Miles to the Gallon! The car rode like a Cadillac! If you would like more detail, please call. 414-444-4534. Thanks for checking this out! |

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray priced from $51,995*
Fri, 26 Apr 2013After months of speculation, Chevrolet has finally revealed the official starting price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The base MSRP for the 450-horsepower Stingray Coupe will be $51,995, while the Stingray Convertible will go for $56,995 (*both prices include a $995 destination fee). This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible - pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. Of course, neither price accounts for the sort of dealer markup that might grace early C7 window stickers, especially since less than a third of all Chevrolet dealers will be allocated Corvette models to sell at the car's launch.
Now, these prices are for the base car, so if you're wondering how much a fully loaded Stingray will run, Chevy has given us a good indication of that as well. The coupe we saw on display at the Detroit Auto Show (shown above), for example, would run $73,360 including options such as the $2,800 Z51 Performance Package, $2,495 competition sport seats and the $1,795 Magnetic Ride Control option - just to name a few. Stepping up to the 3LT trim level that brings a full leather interior will run an extra $8,005 over the base price.
While $20,000 in options may seem like a lot, this "as-tested" price still has the C7 competitively priced against rival coupes like the Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R. Speaking of price comparisons, Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).
Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
Recharge Wrap-up: U of M wins Solar Challenge, family attempts record-breaking e-bike ride
Thu, Aug 14 2014The University of Michigan Solar Car Team has won the 2014 American Solar Challenge. It is the team's eighth national championship, its fifth in a row, and its first using Siemens' product lifecycle management (PLM) software. The race took place over 1,722 miles and seven days traveling across eight states. The team's car, called "Quantum," outpaced the nearest competitor by four hours. Looking forward, Michigan Solar Car Project Manager Pavan Naik says, "The switch to Siemens tools will give us the ability to model and simulate everything and truly allow us to optimize the performance of our new vehicle. As we start on our quest to win the World Solar Challenge in 2015, we'll be leveraging a full complement of PLM solutions." Read more in the press release below. The EcoCar3 competition, in which teams will convert Chevrolet Camaros into hybrid electric cars, begins in September. The various college teams will have four years to lessen the car's environmental impact as much as possible while maintaining performance and, of course, that cool Camaro design. EcoCar3, which is put on by the US Department of Energy and General Motors, kicks off with a workshop in Novi, Michigan from September 16 - 18. Read more at the DOE website at the dedicated EcoCar3 site or watch the announcement video at our previous post. Zap and Jonway Auto are shifting to a high rate of EV production. Zap already has two lines creating the Urbee EV to met demand, and is switching over a third to make electric minivans and SUVs. The company aims to produce 30,000 EVs by 2015 for the Chinese market. Zap says it has a backlog of 25,000 Urbee orders. Read more in the press release below. A family of four hopes to make a world record-breaking, 6,000-mile electric bike journey this fall. The family, which recently drove from Argentina to Montana in a pickup with a camper, will ride from Montana to Maine, then down the East Coast to Florida in an attempt to break the record for longest electric bicycle ride. They'll use two bikes. The Father, Thomas, will ride one of the bikes carrying one of the children, while the rest of the family rides in a support vehicle, with the mother, Dylan, riding the second bike when they can find others to drive. They have started a crowdfunding campaign for some of the equipment needed to document the trip. See the video below or read more at Treehugger.
