1957 Bel Air 2 Door Hard Top on 2040-cars
East Bernstadt, Kentucky, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1957 Chevy 2 Door Hard Top Bel Air. No engine or transmission. I do have a 1957 motor 283, but it is not the original engine that came out in the car. It is still together but would need completely gone through. If the buyer wants the engine, I will include it with the car.
My family has owned the car for close to 25 years where it has been kept inside a garage for the duration of this time. The only thing that we ever did to the car was pulled the bumpers off with the intentions of having them re-chromed - but it never came to pass. I re-installed them right before I pulled the car out of its resting place and cleaned it up for the pictures shown. If you wanted to make a driver out of the car, it is in good enough shape. You would just need to do a motor, transmission, brakes and fuel system. If you are looking for a show car, this would be an awesome solid start for a complete restoration. You'll note from the pictures that this car has fuel injection badges on the front fenders. That is how we purchased the car. I can't confirm or deny that it came from the factory that way. I know it is hard to buy from a picture, so I took a lot of different shots and also made a video. In my opinion, the car has a pretty solid body - looks like the worst is the bottom quarter panel on the drivers side (right in front of the tire). The passenger side door has also been scraped and dented. You should be able to see in the pics that I pulled the seats and carpet out to get some photos of the floor pans so you can get a more clear picture of the condition that the car is in and then of course I reinstalled the carpet and seats as they were. It will need driver and passenger side front floor pans. The rear floor pans, trunk pan, and fire wall appear to be very solid. The front floor pans would be okay if you are just fixing a driver. It has one front and one rear body mount rusted out on the drivers side and has one rear body mount rusted out on passenger side which should be visible in pictures. This car would be in rough shape by some peoples' standards, but a great start for others. We obviously saw something in it to store it for 25 years. If you would like to come by and look at the car or send an inspector, you are more than welcome. Here is my cell: call or text 606-344-2247

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs
Sun, 01 Dec 2013
The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.
