1957 Chevrolet Pickup in excellant shape, the truck was painted in 1998 The paint on the outside looks fantastic other than the clear coat pealing in sections, inside the cab is pealing from the primer. The entire underneath was stripped, painted and new springs and shocks. The engine compartment was painted black. It has a 350 Cid engine that was rebuilt in 1999 it has an accel coil, torker intake, carter carburetor, headers, etc. Turbo 400 transmission was rebuilt with a shift kit and star floor shifter. The rear end is solid, the truck RUNS really, really good.
The body and chassis on this truck is in excellant shape, the lower rockers had been repaired, the cab and cab floors, steps, bed and bed steps, tailgate, hood, grill, bumper are all original and in excellant shape. the entire bed is almost mint, tail gate is like new. No rear bumper but I have the original brackets and flat bar hitch. I think the rear tail lights are aftermarket? All the other lights are original. The bed wood will need a few pieces shown in picture, a piece of plywood and new bed mat was put in to preserve the floor. The original owner had put fiberglass front fenders, he was going to tilt the front end and never did anything else; I didnt even know they were fiberglass untill he pointed it out. I think they are nicer than the original steel fenders. The glass looks original, no chips or cracks. The seat was completely redone and still in great shape.
All the factory gages, dash tach all work and look great, The front lights work and rears dont, I will look at the wiring or bulbs. The wiring should be cleaned up a bit.
I have tried to describe the truck as accurately as I can. I was going to just drive the truck and work on it in my spare time, my body guy was going to repaint the engine compartment and inside the cab and re-clear the truck and it would really be a nice ride. I just dont have the room to park all my projects and decided to sell a few.
The rims and tires are in good shape and i have four extra steel rims that go with the truck, the rears are extra wide and skinnier fronts, they looked really good on the truck but the tires were shot.
Feel free to call me with any questions or e-mail through e-bay; NO TEXT....

Europeans ask Chevy to bring Volt back to Europe
Fri, Aug 14 2015A group of French fans is asking for a jolt of support from General Motors to get the 2016 Chevrolet Volt across the pond. The Association Amperistes et Amis des Vehicules Rechargeables is running a Change.org petition that currently has 383 signatures out of a goal of 500. While the attempt is admirable, it's probably going to take a lot more than several hundred people for the model to make a return to the continent after the poor showing of the Opel Ampera – first-gen Volt's European cousin. The group's major argument for bringing a version of the second-gen Volt to Europe is that consumers need "an intermediate choice between expensive or range-limited pure electric cars and plug-in hybrids with a miserable electric range." Furthermore, such a vehicle would prod the competition to produce similarly efficient electrified models. They also lavish praise on the abilities of the Ampera for its long EV driving range. The supporters aren't entirely kind to GM in the petition, though, and claim the company excluded the original car from marketing efforts there. The Ampera actually enjoyed a strong European launch with more orders than initially expected and briefly topped the best-sellers list among EVs there. It was even named 2012 European Car of the Year. Those halcyon days didn't last long, and by 2014 sales fell off to a trickle. The waning reception caused GM's decision not to introduce a version of the new 2016 Volt there or in Australia. Related Video:
Opel's version of the Chevy Bolt will confuse people at Paris Motor Show
Fri, Aug 26 2016Two things are now official. First, Opel will reveal the Ampera-e, or the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt, at the Paris Motor Show in October. Second, General Motors has outdone itself in brand confusion, topping the Bolt/Volt ridiculousness. Opel isn't giving a single-charge range for the Ampera-e but the company is promising a "significantly longer range" than other electric vehicles. The Bolt is estimated to have a 200-mile range on the EPA scale, so whatever the Opel achieves on the European cycle will be done with the same batteries and motor as the Chevy. Opel is also looking to appeal to the auto enthusiasts with other factoids, which are basically just Bolt stats translated into metric. For instance, the Ampera-e will be able to go 0 to 50 kilometers per hour (which is 31 miles per hour to us Americans, but we're talking Europe here) in just 3.2 seconds. And for those looking to stay connected, as many as seven mobile devices can attached to the car's wireless hot spot. GM said in February that the European of the Bolt would be available across the pond next year, so the most recent bit of news isn't shocking. Still, General Motors continues to create confusion between all-electric Bolt and the extended-range plug-in Volt. It's already been reported that the Korean symbol and pronunciation of what is "B" in English is identical to the English "V," meaning that there is no difference between "Bolt" and "Volt" in that country (though there are no plans to sell the Bolt in South Korea as of yet). Now, in Europe, they're taking the name they used to use for the European of the Volt — Ampera — and merely adding an "-e" at the end of it. For those looking to be less confused, take a look at Opel's press release here.

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
