1957 Chevy Bel Air Convertible on 2040-cars
Sparta, Tennessee, United States
|
A true American Classic! For sale is a beautiful 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible. This car has had a complete frame off restoration. The restoration is about six years old. The car has new quarter and rocker panels, and the floor is solid. All of the upholstery is new as well. The power plant in this car is a completely rebuilt 283 V8, with a brand new CM600 4 barrel Edelbrock carb. The transmission in the car has been completely rebuilt as well. The color of the car is base coat clear coat GM Matador Red. The frame was bead blasted and professionally refinished in high gloss black. Everything on this car works great. This restoration was done very carefully and the car was gone through with a “fine tooth comb” so to speak. We have literally touched every piece on this car. The only problems with the car are on the convertible top there are two small tears were the top meets the body & the rear right bumper guard has a small amount of surface rust. We never re-chromed that piece. All in all this is a very solid, well done car, that with be sure to turn heads! The milage on the car is 68304, that is the original mileage, however there has been maybe 1000 miles put on the rebuilt motor. The reason for selling? The owner, my father, is getting older and does not have time for this hobby any more. Please email for additional pictures, and for any questions. Thank you. The fantastic thing about this car is that IT IS A NUMBERS MATCHING CAR! The motor, tranny, generator, radiator, distributor housing, exhaust manifold, manifold intake, power steering pump, starter & rear and front differential, match. The convertible top also has the factory electric motor. The convertible top frame is original, and has been refinished in high gloss black. We believe that even the glass is original. I do have the original radio but it is not working. We have replaced it with a reproduction Wonder Bar that is AM/FM with a digital tuner. I also have the original Rochester 4 barrel carb that has been re-built. The car does have the original padded dash as well. I also have the original jack. Now for a list of some of the new parts, New top Firestone Whitewall original style tires from Coker floor braces New rear wells on both sides Lots of great new sheet metal parts from Dan Chuck and Ecklers. Leaf springs Dual exhaust system Spare tire All weather stripping was replaced Body mounts Bushings and ball joints Brakes all the way around And much more |

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It 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.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
