You are looking at a one of a kind 1957 Chevy. It underwent a complete frame off rotisserie restoration. This car is amazing from front to back, top to bottom.
The base is a seamless California frame coated with POR15. Anything that even looked like it had a problem was replaced. Floors were replaced from trunk to the firewall. Single piece trunk and floor. Rockers replaced, tail pan replaced. Urethane body mounts and suspension bushings with coil over springs.
Mechanically the car has been completely redone with modern upgrades. The power train starts with a wonderfully running LT1 fuel injected motor partnered with a 460LE Computerized Transmission. Power disc brakes, rack and pinion steering, posi-trac(325 gears), Painless wiring harness for the motor as well as the car. Aluminum radiator, BeCool fan
The outside was given the same attention. All chrome and stainless was either replaced (from Dan Chuk) or rechromed, New glass, new Cragar S/S wheels, new Cooper Cobra tires. Car was painted the reborn Camaro Rally Green with Matrix Basecoat and top of the line clearcoat (MS-42); 3 coats of each over an epoxy primer. Even the bottom was painted to match as you can see in some of the restoration photos.
Interior is absolutely beautiful. Custom interior was designed to match the car, photos really tell the story here. Power seats, tilt steering, Vintage Air, custom dash and gauges.
I would encourage anyone to come see the car in person. The photos do not capture the metallic paint or the perfect sound of this car when it's running. So please come kick the tires if you can.
The car will come with the photos showing the restoration from start to finish. I put a few in the listing to hopefully capture beyond any doubt that this car was done correctly.
Thanks for looking, please ask if you would like additional photos or information.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
