1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Base Convertible 2-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States
|
Barrett Jackson / Mecum quality restoration. Runs and drives like a new one, engine and Powerglide transmission have a couple thousand miles on them. It was built in Late May with the correct engine and transmission. The engine has all upgraded hypereutectic pistons, hardened seats, stainless valves, etc. to run standard pump gas. 283 with 2 bbl, power steering, push button radio, electric wipers with washer. Time for a new owner, I literally have too many trophies and too little time to enjoy this awesome car. Very fair reserve, check out the 2014 Dallas Mecum auction, (two days ago), one without the original transmission sold for 60k on day one, anyone who knows these cars knows the value. This is a nut and bolt, frame off restoration. This car was very solid to start with and disassembled, media blasted and epoxy primed. It was then painted with Sikkens base and three coats of clear, with 45 hours of wet sanding and buffing, the car looks like a new lacquer job with the durability of base/clear. The hood, doors and trunk open and close perfectly, with correct gaps. The undercarriage is correctly painted urethane based red oxide primer, with correct frame black. Convertible top frame was disassembled, rebuilt, and painted the correct Highland Green. The car is correct down to the clutch head screws that hold the fuel sender in the tank. It was restored to classic Chevy guidelines. Can send more detailed pictures if necessary. I reserve the right to end this auction early as I have it listed locally. Thanks for looking, please let me know if you have any question, thank you, Craig. On Sep-11-14 at 06:04:04 PDT, seller added the following information: To all who are watching/bidding on my vehicle. It has come to my attention that some watchers, one in particular, believe that my description of 'Barrett Jackson/Mecum quality' tells of an average, at best restoration. As I am not "a true insider, or a collector", as I was called by this E-bay member, I was not aware that describing my car as Barrett Jackson/Mecum was an insult to my car! I do know, however, that any auction has it's faults, and while I have never been to one of them, I have seen some very nice and high quality auction cars in person. So, I am not evading, or coming to some odd conclusions about my car, so if you have any questions about my car, feel free to ask, and if you are the high bidder, fly here or have a private inspection done before completing the transaction. As for all who have been stung by the actions of sellers in the past, remember that 'what comes around, goes around'. Thanks, Craig. E-mail me and I will give you my number, or I will call you..Thanks. |

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday
Tue, 11 Dec 2012There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
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.
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.
