1957 Bel Air 2 Door Hard Top on 2040-cars
East Bernstadt, Kentucky, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1957 Chevy 2 Door Hard Top Bel Air. No engine or transmission. I do have a 1957 motor 283, but it is not the original engine that came out in the car. It is still together but would need completely gone through. If the buyer wants the engine, I will include it with the car.
My family has owned the car for close to 25 years where it has been kept inside a garage for the duration of this time. The only thing that we ever did to the car was pulled the bumpers off with the intentions of having them re-chromed - but it never came to pass. I re-installed them right before I pulled the car out of its resting place and cleaned it up for the pictures shown. If you wanted to make a driver out of the car, it is in good enough shape. You would just need to do a motor, transmission, brakes and fuel system. If you are looking for a show car, this would be an awesome solid start for a complete restoration. You'll note from the pictures that this car has fuel injection badges on the front fenders. That is how we purchased the car. I can't confirm or deny that it came from the factory that way. I know it is hard to buy from a picture, so I took a lot of different shots and also made a video. In my opinion, the car has a pretty solid body - looks like the worst is the bottom quarter panel on the drivers side (right in front of the tire). The passenger side door has also been scraped and dented. You should be able to see in the pics that I pulled the seats and carpet out to get some photos of the floor pans so you can get a more clear picture of the condition that the car is in and then of course I reinstalled the carpet and seats as they were. It will need driver and passenger side front floor pans. The rear floor pans, trunk pan, and fire wall appear to be very solid. The front floor pans would be okay if you are just fixing a driver. It has one front and one rear body mount rusted out on the drivers side and has one rear body mount rusted out on passenger side which should be visible in pictures. This car would be in rough shape by some peoples' standards, but a great start for others. We obviously saw something in it to store it for 25 years. If you would like to come by and look at the car or send an inspector, you are more than welcome. Here is my cell: call or text 606-344-2247 |

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers

Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
