Up for auction is my 1957 Belair with one re-paint of Canyon Coral w/India Ivory White Top. The motor is a 283 with a 4 barrel and is automatic transmission. My paperwork says that in Nov. 201l a new fuel pump and carburetor kit, 8 spark plugs, plug wires were installed. It has a new battery replaced this year. Also I had installed a new gasoline tank and all new lines up to the carburetor. I have alittle bit of information that was in the the glove box: the original Owner's Service Policy, first owner's name was Ralph Hubbs of Wilson City, KS. The engine number is VC57K147355. Key number is #8594 (we still have the original key with 8594 stamped on the key). The car was bought by him at Ulrich Chevrolet Co. Lucas, KS in l957. I also have automobile registration receipt l957 and l958 issued to Ralph Hubbs. Have the original 1957 Guide To Your New Chevrolet pamphlet .
Let's talk about my 1957 Chevy.... I bought this car in June from a close friend here in Hutchinson, KS. He had bought it from a Hutchinson doctor in 2003. The doctor bought it in the 90's from Larry Frisbie in Lyons, KS. We believe that Larry bought the car from the Hubbs family. The car starts up nice but wants to hesitate when you put the pedal down. I think the timing may be a bit off or the carburetor set to rich? It could also just need to be drive awhile on the highway ...which I have not had the time to do since our Paint Company business is in full swing right now!
The interior is the original Black & Silver and is very nice. The only flaws being a small gap on the seam along the front seat and also one on the back seat seam (as shown in the pictures).. This can be an easy fix for an upholstery guy. The carpet appears to be the original & is pretty decent. The gauges all work except for the left blinker. This car shows 68,887 on the odometer. The paint of the car is in "Driver Quality" condition. Some scratches and cracks in the paint. Inside the trunk is the spare tire (which is flat but on the orig. wheel) and the car bumper jack. I found a very small amount of rust on both of the back door passengers bottom door frame by the chrome. It is about 1" long. Chrome trim is decent for it's age. The bumpers are original. The back bumper where the gas cap opening (by the fin) has been oxidized over the year and is dull. This car is factory radio delete. The back seat window shelf has shag carpet that is not glued on. Underneath the shag carpet the surface is very nice and is not faded or water stained.
All in all this car would make a very nice driver or kick it up a notch and restore it up to the level that you want!! SO, Don't Monkey Around & Get Beat Off The Line By 2 Drag Racing Car Crazy MONKEY'S!!
It is sold without warranty. I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime. I highly recommend asking questions on EBay's "ask the buyer" option or inspecting the 57' in person prior to bidding. Shipping or pickup is to be arranged & paid for by the buyer. A $l,000 non-refundable deposit can be made thru PayPal but final payment will not be accepted thru PayPal. A Certified Cashier Check from a bank is required.

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Tue, 12 Feb 2013This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy
Fri, 05 Apr 2013Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.
