1957 Chevy 2 Door Hardtop Bel Air, Excellent Driver! Very Affordable! on 2040-cars
Millville, New Jersey, United States
|
AT
LAST!!! A 57 Chevy that's affordable and doesn't need a ton of work! With great
regret, I must sell due to my health, medical bills and age. This ’57 hard top
is laser straight and finished off in the unforgivable color of black. The
mechanics of the car are excellent! It has a great running stock 350ci Chevy engine
with 4 barrel carb and NEW dual exhaust. The transmission is a turbo 350 and it
has a stock rear. The brake system is new with drum brakes and double chamber
master cylinder; it has air shocks on the back. The wipers are electric and it
has a new tinted windshield, all other glass is excellent. All gauges,
speedometer, heater, lights etc. work. Has nice radio with tape player. The
chrome is all great nothing needs replacing and features the one piece
California front bumper. The car is mildly customized with the tubular grill.
The wheels are NEW rally wheels with BFG radial raised white letter tires. The
interior is very presentable with one tear (patched) on driver seat back from a
screwdriver in pocket. Perfect red vinyl headliner, but the dash could use a repaint.
The undercarriage is average with the typical repaired areas of use and age
with NO safety or structural issues, definitely not a trailer queen. I wouldn't
hesitate to drive this car anywhere, it has excellent road manners and is a
pleasure to drive (except for all the horn blowing and thumbs up from
spectators). You don't get that with your new $40k car. The car has no air or
power steering but runs proudly up the highway with the best of them. Now for
the bad news: the bottom of both front fenders have been repaired (rust) and
over the years need it again, the passenger side quarter panel has a small bad
spot but those are the only rust issues I see. I experimented on the trunk lid
and as you can see it didn't work out it was a paint thing not an accident and
the deck lid needs to be repainted (there is a small section that is a lighter
shade of black). This is an excellent driver quality ‘57 and I've received many
awards BUT DON'T BE FOOLED! The pictures don’t tell the true story on the
paint. A couple of feet back (not a 20 footer) this car looks pristine but up
on top of it you can see it's old lacquer that is starting to craze or as they
now say patina. If you want an excellent driver that you turn the key and go
and have fun this is it, if you want a pristine show car it must be repainted.
I'm not running my Chevy down but just being honest as I don't like bad surprises
myself. I have a very reasonable reserve (less than I got in it) and not the
national debt as other sellers. I've had the car for 5 years and was told it
needed paint when I got it but it's always been garaged and never got any worse.
I can't express enough: look at the car, ask the wife before bidding, and be ready
to purchase the vehicle should you be the lucky high bidder! You are
responsible for shipping and I will assist on this end the best I can. For no
nonsense questions call me at 856-327-0289 or 609-501-5192. Bid with confidence
and good luck winning! I hate to sell it but I must and I know I'll never be
able to own another ‘57 Icon. God Bless, John.

GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern
Mon, 21 Jan 2013The 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.
2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit
Mon, 04 Mar 2013We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
