1957 Chevy Nomad. I have owned this car for 10 yrs. Originally an Arizona car, brought to Michigan, owned by a previous owner for 30 years who semi restored it in 1974-76. 283 with a power glide. Supposed to be a powerpack 283. First year for the 283. This is a 57 dated motor. The 1957 283's were unique in that they had no side motor mount pad cast into the side of the block, thew mounted off of the front of the engine. This car was "restored" buy a fellow between 1974 and 1976. I have a series of 35 mm slides that came with the car showing it being painted and a fresh motor. The engine was rebiult at that time and he turned the odometer back to zero. To date there has been only 10,000 miles put on since 1976. I bought this car in Flint Michigan in 2003, and drove it home up the interstate 500 miles, 9 hrs ,65 mph, with no trouble. New dual exhaust put on in 2002 before I bought. Runs great and drives straight. The car was painted in 1976, as the slides show, and is starting to crack in places now. You can also see where a panel was painted at one time, top of L front fender and topof door, in the past do to a scratch repair, and was not a perfect match. When I bought the car it was stone stock. This is a near rust free car. Solid floors, solid rockers with one small area of rust as seen in pics, solid body mounts. The slides show there were a couple of places in the rear cargo area that were patched in 1976, the biggest being maybe 6" square. There is some body filler in the drivers door that can be seen. There are still traces of original red primer up under the drive shaft area. There is a spot of rust starting at the bottom of one of the fenders. I have $22,000 in reciepts that I spent starting in 2003. I had the car professionally lowered. Poisey drop rear springs, Hiedts 2" drop spindles with new coils, ball joints, tie rod ends, and power disc brakes. Polished American mags with BF Goodrich radials give it a nice look. I have added a complete new Painless modern wiring harness, Griffin cross flow radiator with fans, and air cond condenser, Rain Gear wiper system, power windows, Alternator, Edlebrock carb and manifold, front and rear bumpers completly rechromed along with the front hood and grill trim, complete new C.A.R.S. interior, I stripped the interior completely and replaced everything except the headliner which needed nothing, including all door and cargo panels and all garnish moldings repainted and new dash trim. Carpet in the cargo area is sun faded. This is a factory air condtioned car according to the firewall tag. So I re-plated the dash vents and heater control, which is special to a factory air car. I do not have any of the original air cond. parts for the engine compartment, there is also no heater parts in the engine compartment either. But air vents are working. New seat foam and covers. New tinted door window glass with completly rebuilt & rechromed window vent assemblys. The exterior stainless trim is as good as it gets for an original, with only a few dimples in a couple of pieces. New door gaskets and seals including the cargo doors. New Halogen headlights assemblies, new LED taillight assemblies including housings. New gas tank and sender. Pertronix ignition. 15" 1956 Bel air steering wheel. I have all reciepts, includes an assembly and service manual and a large book full of 57 Nomad magazine articles. Will ad more as I recall it.

I paid $22,000 for this Nomad in 2003, I have spent another $22,000 since purchase, total is $44,000. Have all reciepts. reserve is much lower.


On Sep-30-12 at 07:59:17 PDT, seller added the following information:

According to Hemmings or Old Cars grading scale, 1 to 6, 1 being perfect, 6 being a parts car, I would rate this a strong # 3, As I said, paint is 35 years old and has issues, underside is in original condtion not "restored" with the exception of the items I listed. Runs excellant and drives straight. Gets positive commets wherever I go, from little kids to little old ladies. There is no power steering. I see no reason you couldnt drive this anywhere. I am located near Iron Mountain Michigan, or 100 miles due north of Green Bay, Wisconsin

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.

GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
