1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop 2-door-hot Rod, Street Rod, New Paint, Rare! on 2040-cars

Year:1957 Mileage:0 Color: is free of any trim or bumpers but the car will be accompanied by a portion of the original exterior trim including the front and rear bumpers and the Bel Air fin plates
Location:

 FOR SALE:
1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop 2-Door
283 c.i. V8 paired to a 4-speed manual transmission-the pair is freshly (o miles) rebuilt
Fresh black paint on all body panels
The car is incomplete, as you can see, and it is at the perfect stage for anyone who wants to complete the car in original fashion or go with a more modern look.  I was going with a more modern look, therefore, I purchased a new set of 17-inch REV wheels and Hankook Ventus tires for the car.
The exterior is free of any trim or bumpers but the car will be accompanied by a portion of the original exterior trim including the front and rear bumpers and the Bel Air fin plates.  The car will also be accompanied by a small portion of the original glass and glass trim, the majority of which I have deemed not salvageable.
The body is very straight and the paint job is of high-quality.
The interior remains incomplete but the sheet metal throughout the interior and the trunk is solid.  I have a full set of seats and interior panels that are in good condition and  covered in black crushed velvet upholstery.  The interior will still need metal trim, carpet, insulation, gauges, and luxuries.
The car runs and drives as it sits.
I infer that if you are looking at buying one of these cars, you have the knowledge to recognize what this car needs to be complete.  This would be easy for somebody to complete before spring and cruise season.  This car would also be perfect for someone who wants to ditch the existing power train for an LS motor or a big block and go the pro-touring route with this car.
I had planned to finish the car within the next year but a recent, unexpected occurrence forces me to sell the car.
As you know, the '57 Bel Air Hardtop 2-door is one of the most highly-sought after cars in history and when you buy this car, you will be making a sound investment.
The car holds a clean and clear title that is ready for transfer to the new owner.

I will gladly provide you with more information if you are seriously interested in the car.  I will receive the purchase amount in full in a secure payment form (cash, wire transfer, or a certified bank check) before the car or the title will leave my possession.  I will gladly accommodate any logistics arrangements but the buyer will need to fund those arrangements. I can reached by voice or text at (270) 748-1882.

I appreciate your interest and happy bidding!

*It turns out that I have a front and rear windshield for the car.  These will be included.

*A picture of the cowl plate has been uploaded to the picture sequence.  This will allow you to verify that this car is what it is advertised as.

*The tires and wheels have 0 miles on them.

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

The 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.

The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.
