1957 Chevy Belair 2 Door Hardtop Barn Find Project Gasser Street Hot Rat Rod on 2040-cars
Irvington, Alabama, United States
|
1957 Chevy Belair 2 Door hardtop, This is a factory Larkspur Blue with Silver Vinyl with Black and Silver Pattern cloth interior. Let me start out by saying that this was someone else's project that they started along time ago and got part of the way into it and stopped and the car got put up into storage, and has been their ever since, till I got the car. The car is really straight and pretty solid as well. Their is rust but its easily fixed rust that's in some of the normal spots that you can buy patch panels for if you so choose. Just about everything for the car is either inside the car or in the trunk. I have not laid everything out and inventoried it, but just going throw the stuff, it appears to be all their, their maybe something small missing, but the large stuff is here. I know all the dash components is in the trunk in boxes. The steering wheel and column is also in their, the front and rear seats are in the car. The original door panels are also in the trunk. From what I can tell, all the major chrome and trim pieces are here and inside the car. The frame of the car has already been blasted and primed. and the original front suspension pieces are in the trunk as well blasted and primed. The car has another set of suspension pieces bolted all up to the front to make it roll around. The motor and trans that you see pictured is a setup that I bought from a friend of mine and was planning to put in the car to put the car back to as close to original as possible. The motor itself is a 1957 power pack motor, and the trans is a power glide automatic. The motor and transmission came out of a 1957 Nomad that was nut and bolt restored and was a AACA judged car. My friend bought the car and drove the car around to a few shows and never really liked how the original car drove, so he took the drivetrain out and the suspension and upgraded the car to a pro touring car that he could enjoy. and that's how I came about the motor. I know that its a good motor and transmission and came out of a running and driving car. The car itself is a factory V8 car and that's why I choose this motor to go in it. This is a great project for someone to finish, that's going to make someone a great car. Very good car to start out with, specially one that is just about complete. The car is for sale locally and is subject to be taken off Ebay if sold. The car is also sold as is with no warranty. A 25% deposit is due within 3 days of the auctions end and the balance within 7 more when the car is to be picked up or arrangements are made for the car to be shipped. If you have any questions about the car, please fill free to ask and I will gladly answer them to the best of my ability. Thanks and God Bless Charlie 251-751-7530 |

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
