1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop 2-door-hot Rod, Street Rod, New Paint, Rare! on 2040-cars

Location:

 FOR SALE:
1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop 2-Door
283 c.i. V8 paired to a 4-speed manual transmission-the pair is freshly (o miles) rebuilt
Fresh black paint on all body panels
The car is incomplete, as you can see, and it is at the perfect stage for anyone who wants to complete the car in original fashion or go with a more modern look.  I was going with a more modern look, therefore, I purchased a new set of 17-inch REV wheels and Hankook Ventus tires for the car.
The exterior is free of any trim or bumpers but the car will be accompanied by a portion of the original exterior trim including the front and rear bumpers and the Bel Air fin plates.  The car will also be accompanied by a small portion of the original glass and glass trim, the majority of which I have deemed not salvageable.
The body is very straight and the paint job is of high-quality.
The interior remains incomplete but the sheet metal throughout the interior and the trunk is solid.  I have a full set of seats and interior panels that are in good condition and  covered in black crushed velvet upholstery.  The interior will still need metal trim, carpet, insulation, gauges, and luxuries.
The car runs and drives as it sits.
I infer that if you are looking at buying one of these cars, you have the knowledge to recognize what this car needs to be complete.  This would be easy for somebody to complete before spring and cruise season.  This car would also be perfect for someone who wants to ditch the existing power train for an LS motor or a big block and go the pro-touring route with this car.
I had planned to finish the car within the next year but a recent, unexpected occurrence forces me to sell the car.
As you know, the '57 Bel Air Hardtop 2-door is one of the most highly-sought after cars in history and when you buy this car, you will be making a sound investment.
The car holds a clean and clear title that is ready for transfer to the new owner.

I will gladly provide you with more information if you are seriously interested in the car.  I will receive the purchase amount in full in a secure payment form (cash, wire transfer, or a certified bank check) before the car or the title will leave my possession.  I will gladly accommodate any logistics arrangements but the buyer will need to fund those arrangements. I can reached by voice or text at (270) 748-1882.

I appreciate your interest and happy bidding!

*It turns out that I have a front and rear windshield for the car.  These will be included.

*A picture of the cowl plate has been uploaded to the picture sequence.  This will allow you to verify that this car is what it is advertised as.

*The tires and wheels have 0 miles on them.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.

The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.
