Kansas City, Missouri, United States

NO RESERVE! BID TO WIN IT! 1957 CHEVROLET! STORED INDOORS AND WORKED ON OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS! TONS OF WORK ALREADY COMPLETED! LOW MILE 454, 700R TRANSMISSION, NEWLY UPHOLSTERED SEATS, FOUR WHEEL DISC BRAKES, RECHROMED BUMPER (mid section), BELAIR DASH, BRAND NEW SET OF 17" CUSTOM WHEELS AND TIRES! VERY COMPLETE & READY TO BE FINISHED! BE READY FOR SPRING CRUISING! This 1957 Chevy has spent the last decade tucked away in a garage. The previous owner would go through his spurts and spend as much as he could when it was available. He worked extra hours, borrowed, sold personal items, he did whatever he could to get his baby that much closer to being completed. This Chevy has had a tremendous amount of work done to it. It is very complete and comes with a whole lot of goodies. In my opinion, there is no better way to buy them than when they are at this point. Right after someone gets ambitious and spends all of the money on the vital aspects/big ticket items and then sells it off at a fraction of what they have in to it. So if you're looking for a steal, this is it. Body: The external sheet metal on the Chevy is actually very solid. The rear sill, cowl, trunk lid, hood, roof, fenders, top sides of the quarters, doors, everything is very solid. The rockers along with a couple of minor spots within the quarters are about the only spots that will require some attention. They are not terrible and I definitely would not go to the extent of replacing them. With a little sheet metal work, they would be good to go. The firewall in these Tri-Fives have to be modified in order to fit a big block which was done on this 57. So the mid section of the firewall still needs replaced. The floors as well as the trunk will also need replaced. The frame underneath the Chevy is solid. The previous owner was working to do away with the side moldings/trim but he got as far as sealing up the passenger side and that was it. With that, the side trim is about the only trim that I am missing. The remaining trim does come with the car. The bumpers are in relatively good shape. The previous owner sent off the mid sections of the front bumper and had them rechromed. Those pieces are still packaged up and are in excellent shape. The 454 that is within the Chevy was mounted up professionally as you will see within the photos located below. All of the glass (with the exception of the drivers side door and passenger side door glass) is in good shape. The 17" wheels and tires that are on the Chevy are brand new. I had purchased them for another vehicle and they have roughly about ten miles on them. They are wrapped in brand new Nitto tires. They've been mounted and balanced. I have about $1,800 invested in them and I will make a considerable adjustment in price if someone decides that they would rather not have them. Engine & Mechanical: The 454 that is within the Chevy was completely rebuilt and used in a different car before being taken out and set in this 57. From what the previous owner had explained, the engine has less than a couple hundred miles on it. I do have a four barrel carburetor that goes with the Chevy but unfortunately I did not have it on hand to take photos of it. The 700R transmission was also in excellent working order when it was pulled. The Chevy has front disc brakes and included with the sale, I will be giving a ten bolt posi rear end with a disc brake setup on it. This is out of an early 90's Z28 and has been measured to insure that it will fit. Interior: The front buckets and back seat have both been refoamed and reupholstered. They were done professionally to the tune of about 2k dollars. The Chevy also has a Belair dash which is installed. The door panels within the Chevy are in decent shape. So here is that rare opportunity to own one of the most desirable Chevrolets that were ever manufactured. Much of the heavy work has been completed and with nearly 20k invested, someone is going to get a phenomenal deal while getting a huge head start. I can't see this Chevy taking more than thirty days to complete. So reward yourself this Christmas and get ready to REALLY enjoy Spring! I will be evaluating all reasonable offers and I will in fact sell the Chevy early as we do have it for sale "locally". My goal here is to sell the Chevy. I strongly encourage anyone who is interested to please call or email to schedule a time to come check it out. I would also like to add that I am usually on the phone from 7 AM until about 12 AM so you are always welcome to call and if I do not answer, just leave a message and I will return your call immediately. I know from my own experience with purchasing cars online, most of the time it is very difficult to get someone on the phone and to obtain the information you need. So I try to always stay on top of emails and phone calls. We do have a clear title for this 57. As always, good luck and happy bidding! Thanks, Shawn (816) 308-0351 I also have several other highly collectible automobiles on eBay right now! Please feel free to check them out by clicking here! Thank you!

General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem
Thu, Feb 13 2014General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.

Thu, 13 Dec 2012UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
Junkyard Gem: 1986 Chevrolet Sprint Plus
Fri, Jun 16 2023General Motors sold second- and third-generation Suzuki Cultuses with Geo or Chevrolet Metro badging in the United States from 1989 through 2001 model years, and we've all seen plenty of those cars on the street over the years. The first-generation Cultus was sold here as well, with Chevrolet Sprint badges, and I've found a rare example of the Sprint five-door hatchback in a Northern California car graveyard. The Chevy Sprint first appeared on the West Coast as a 1985 model, then became available everywhere in the United States for the 1986 through 1988 model years (in Canada, it was sold as the Pontiac Firefly). It was available here as a hatchback with three or five doors; for 1986 only, the five-door was badged as the Sprint Plus. Soon enough, The General would be selling many more Asian-built cars with Detroit badges here. Isuzu I-Marks were sold as Chevrolet/Geo Spectrums starting in the 1986 model year, while Daewoo provided the Pontiac LeMans two years later. Under the hood, a 1.0-liter three-cylinder rated at 48 horsepower. The five-door Sprint cost $5,580 in 1986, which was $200 more than the three-door (those prices would be $15,445 and $14,891 in 2023 dollars). I've documented seven discarded Sprints prior to this one (including an extremely rare Turbo Sprint), and all of them were three-doors; we can assume that price was the most important factor for Sprint buyers. Gasoline prices were crashing hard during the middle 1980s, but memories of gas lines and odd-even-day fuel rationing from 1979 remained strong. What cars competed with the '86 Sprint on sticker price? Well, there was no way to undercut the hilariously affordable (and terrible) Yugo GV, which cost $3,990. The much bigger (but still pretty bad) Hyundai Excel listed at $4,995, while Toyota would sell you a sturdy (but zero-fun) Tercel starting at $5,448. Even the wretched Chevy Chevette — yes, it was still available in 1986 — cost $5,645. The original buyer of this car was willing to shell out an extra $395 to get an automatic instead of the base five-speed manual. That's about $1,093 in today's money. This car must have been slow. By the end, the doors were held shut with duct tape, but it still stayed alive until age 37. 53 miles per gallon on the highway! It does everything. The camels of the highway.
