1957 Chevrolet 150 2 Door Sedan Restomod on 2040-cars
Republic, Missouri, United States
|
Up for sale is my newly restored 1957 Chevrolet 150 sedan. This is the model that the Black Widow Nascar racers were made from. I've gone from a rolling body and installed a LT-1 Chevrolet Corvette motor out of a 1969 Corvette that is fully built and has a mild cam...rated at 360HP stock, but it's not stock. I've mated it to a Muncie M-20 4 speed that is stroked with a Hurst Competition plus shifter, going to a new 3.55 geared rearend. This car is a ground up, body on frame restoration. I wanted a full restoration for a driver, not a trailer queen. Here's a quick list of what has been done to the car:
-It's got power disc brakes up front, new drum brakes in the back with new brake lines. -poor man's power steering that turns effortlessly -air conditioning that is ice cold. -New interior stitched here locally in Republic, new carpet, headliner, and door panels. -car has been insulated with DynaMat type material in doors, trunk, up the firewall, in the package tray and it's tight and quiet... -New glass all around. Original stainless in good shape. -All chrome replaced... -tubular a-arms, front/rear roll bars, all new suspension, undercoated front to back -Ididit tilt steering column -New Aluminum radiator -New paint that's about a year old in India Ivory and Tropical Turquoise -New gas tank aluminum and gas lines.' -brand new Firestone white letter tires mounted on American mags Torque Thrust 15x8s -Electric fuel pump to feed the Edelbrock 600 electric choke carb on a Weiand intake -new Billet dash, radio am-fm...heater delete. Original clock that works, 1959 Impala steering wheel in new chrome and paint, Dakota Digital dash...wow, too much too list...email me for more details -that's a quick rundown, but this car has been gone through from front to back including the trunk. These cars are getting very rare. You don't see many 150s in this kind of condition. Bid to own. This car has been totally taken apart except from off the frame. New everything. Floors with new metal welded in and the same with the trunk. Car is solid and no rust in the body. Any imperfections were eliminated and new metal replaced any bad areas. Car is a two thumbs up everywhere it cruises to. adding two new videos. The first shows the car on the first start up out of the garage. Since then have changed the wheels as shown in the uploaded pics. (don't worry, the shirt is stained, but clean...product of working on these cars...LOL) Second shows taking the grandkids for a spin around the block..enjoy..

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
