1957 Chevy Chevrolet Bel Air Belair 2 Door Hard Top Project Rebuilt 283 on 2040-cars
Viola, Arkansas, United States
|
Here is my 1957 Chevy Bel Air 2 door hard top project. It does have an original 57 283 V8 engine block that has been rebuilt to factory specifications. The numbers on the block are 3731548. The heads are power pack but not sure of the dates on them. The engine came with the car and the man I bought it from a couple years ago said it was the original engine. The intake is a 57 four barrel. The numbers on it are 3731398. Some of the web sites say the numbers on the block are the same as the Fuel Injected 57 Corvette. The body has ben patched with quarter patch panels on the passenger side. It needs more work to be smooth. The drivers side is pretty good. The floors have been replaced. The toe panels from the engine compartment show the patch and cutout area. The trunk needs to be repaired. The back glass area has rust through at the rubber area. The front windshield lower corners have been cut and replaced with patch and fiberglassed where there was some rust. The floor braces are good and original but the body mounts are dried and cracked. The transmission was a 3 speed manual from the factory but I have replaced it with a 350 turbo automatic that also has been rebuilt. No seats other than a four door rear seat and a four door front seat and a 1960 Chevy front split back seat. The hood is nice and so is the drivers front fender. The passenger front fender has a crack at the bottom. The doors are good and in primer. There are many parts with this car and several duplicates as I have been buying parts for a couple years for this. There are many stainless parts that are extras but the buyer can use them to sell or trade for what is needed. There are about 6 window flippers, 6 rear side glasses and many extra side stainless. The quarter fender scripts are nice. There are duplicate headlight buckets. There are 3 radiators that are not tested and probably need repair. One is a 57 another is 55 with transmission cooler fittings. There is a new in the box gas tank and new power brake master cylinder not installed. New wheel cylinders and brake shoes not installed. New windshield rubber not installed. No glass other than some vents and rear side glass. Does have a rear back window that is used. This car is sold AS IS totally as a project. To be paid for within 7 days. Can be picked up within 30 days. It has been in the garage for a couple years. Needs restored. Title is in my name.

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?
