UNMOLESTED 1957 Chevrolet 4 door post Bel Air - Original - GREAT BARN FIND

This 1957 Chevrolet 4 door post Bel Air, is now up for sale. It has been in the Garage most of the time since 1973
a Daily driver prior to that. Has been undriven and stored for 40 years. I bought this car due to the fact of how solid it is. 
This is a dry climate Bel Air and it shows. It is a total project and needs everything under the sun, but 
you've got a great base to start. 

It is originally a 283 V8 small block with three speed transmission on the column. (Three on the tree)
This is a Dallas Texas car originally sold at Vandergriff Chevrolet. 

The Mechanic's:
It does come with the original 283 motor that I pulled from the car. Needs rebuilding. Does not run. Comes with the car.
I have three speed transmission that I got with the car. It was already removed. 
The only damage to the car is before I got it, someone cut the floor for a floor shifter (in the tunnel)
and a small dent in right rear quarter, by the bumper, both are an easy repair, and a small scrape under the rear passenger
 door on the rocker molding. ( see pictures )
I did replace all ball joints in the front end as well as all the "A" frame bushings. This is the only work I have done.
I believe to have all the car except the radiator, Dome lens, one hub cap, and a headlight. ( this is all I can remember not having )

The Body:
Originally a Black painted car with a white painted top all patina is original. Also original Red and black interior. 
The carpet is gone. The original floors and trunk pan are intact throughout. Drivers Floor pan has worst corrosion.
(see Pictures with a bolt) Spare Tire sump in the trunk has rust ( see pictures ) the rust u see in the trunk corners
is not in the metal, just crumbs on top, easy vacuum clean.
The glass is also original and intact throughout. But Two windows are Cracked, Driver Passenger door, and Passenger Front door. Still
intact just cracked not shattered.
All of the glass rides on its window tracks. Roll up and down, Vent windows roll as well. The doors, hood and trunk line up straight. 

The title for the car is a small green title last transferred March of 1966.
These pictures were taken a couple weeks back when I pulled it from the barn to get more light for the pictures to take well,
and to get good pictures under the car as well as of the car. I did put it back in the barn. where it has been. 
Way to much to list, call if interested for more details.

Chevrolet considering midsize crossover to slot between Traverse and Equinox

Mon, Jan 9 2017

Crossovers are the new hotness, and automakers are looking to cash in by offering a size and shape for every customer. With Chevrolet's debut of the new 2018 Traverse in Detroit, which grew ever so slightly compared to the first-generation model, there is now a midsize-crossover-sized hole between the three-row Traverse and the compact Equinox. When asked about that obvious space, a Chevrolet spokesperson told us the company is looking into the possibility of expanding its crossover lineup. It should be a relatively simple thing to do, since all it would take is reskinning and rechristening the GMC Acadia with a bow tie, and we all know how much GM loves platform sharing. Although they're now different sizes, the new Acadia and Traverse still use the same platform; the Acadia is now on a short-wheelbase version of the C1XX while the Traverse uses long-wheelbase C1XX parts. A short-wheelbase Chevy built on the C1XX likely would be differentiated visually from both the Acadia and the larger Traverse. It may seem like flooding the lineup with more and more models would cannibalize sales of existing ones, but Chevrolet said it would rather have customers stay within the brand rather than going to another automaker. There have been whispers that some form of the Blazer name (possibly TrailBlazer) may make a return on a midsizer, but if it does don't expect an old-school body-on-frame SUV like the old one. In the end, if Chevy builds it, customers will come. Related Video:

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
