1957 CHEVROLET! TONS OF WORK ALREADY COMPLETED! FRESHLY REBUILT 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! Here it is, your early Christmas present! This 1957 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 has been completely rebuilt. 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!

GM trucks get hybrid versions, but you'll probably never see one
Thu, Feb 25 2016A few years ago, General Motors sold hybrid versions of its Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. They weren't very good, using GM's old two-mode hybrid system that resulted in only negligible fuel economy gains. But GM's trying again, launching eAssist models of the 2016 Silverado and Sierra that are said to offer 2-mpg improvements in city, highway, and combined fuel economy ratings. Problem is, you probably won't be able to get one. Only 700 eAssist trucks will be made for the 2016 model year – 500 Silverados and 200 Sierras. When you consider that GM moved 824,683 examples of its light-duty pickups in 2015, this small run represents 0.08-percent of all Silverado/Sierra production, and GM says it "will monitor the market closely ... and adjust as appropriate moving forward." But that's not the only limitation. The eAssist trucks will only be sold through California dealers. For the Silverado, eAssist can only be optioned on the 1500 Crew Cab 1LT 2WD model, and for the Sierra, the fuel-saving technology is solely available on the 1500 SLT Crew Cab 2WD model with the SLT Premium Plus package. Granted, in terms of the Sierra, that means you get niceties like LED headlights and taillights, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bose premium audio, heated seats and steering wheel, lane keep assist, and more. In the trucks, eAssist combines a small electric motor and 0.45-kWh battery pack with the pickups' 5.3-liter V8. GM estimates total output of 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque – no more horsepower than the non-eAssist trucks, but three more pound-feet of torque. GM says the eAssist trucks can tow up to 9,400 pounds, and the battery only adds 100 pounds to the trucks' weight. The electric motor provides 13 hp and 44 lb-ft of torque for a boost of acceleration off the line, or during passing. It also allows the engine to run in four-cylinder mode for longer periods of time. eAssist uses regenerative braking to help power onboard electrical systems, and adds start/stop to the powertrain. Finally, the so-equipped trucks have a six-percent improvement in aerodynamics, thanks to a soft tonneau cover and active grille shutters in the front fascia. Great news is, the eAssist option is relatively inexpensive, only costing $500. But good luck getting your hands on one.
Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car
Thu, 14 Feb 2013It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
