1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible.  This car was 100% frame off restored to factory specifications and has been judged as such by the Antique Automobile Club of America.  It first won a junior at an AACA regional event in Maryland in 1990.  Followed by the AACA senior award later that year at Hershey PA.  Lastly the car was trailer to Ohio in 1992 for the grand national judging where it won the first time out.  Since 1992 the car has been back to Hershey where it won in the preservation class (maintaining grand national level) six times, the most recently of which was 2011.  The first photo is of the car on the show field in October of 2011 and it looks as good today as the day it was completed.  I have all the awards, plaque and badges which are included with the sale.  This car was exclusively transported in enclosed car carrier for the first 15 years after restoration.  The previous owner only started driving it to shows in 2005 and the car has only logged 5200 miles since that point.  I store it in a climate controlled garage (pictured) to preserve the concourse level of restoration. This is one of the most highly awarded Bel Air's in the country and will only continue to go up in value.  The car was completely disassembled, stripped to bare metal and restored back to 100% original condition.  I have several photos documenting the restoration as well as a certified appraisal when it was completed from 1990 stating the car was the "best restoration" the appraiser had ever seen in over 20 years of appraisals.  There are many 1957 Bel Air's out there, but there are very few restored to this level with all the awards and documentation.

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?
