You are looking at an 1957 Chevy 2 door hard top coupe. This car is about as original as they come. A true unmolested Belair that hasn't been seen by the public eye in over 30+ years. I have spent some time getting her back up to par and road worthy once again. She does run and drive, although some of the gauges and lights do not work. The 2 speed power glide trans does slip a little, and she is a bit fussy when it comes to going into reverse. I just installed a newly rebuilt torque converter so maybe that will help solve the issue. I wasn't really worried about it sense my intentions were to completely restore the car and outfit her with a newer late model LS motor & over drive transmission. Well my plans have changed.....This vehicle started life as a yellow and white car although someone along the line decided to paint her brown. That evidently has worn over the years, and some of the yellow has started to show through. The body is in fair condition with minor dents and bruises from normal ware and tare over the years. The original interior is all there, and in fair condition. All the glass is in good shape except the rear passenger window has a few cracks in it and will eventually need to be replaced.The stock 283 V8 (with power pack heads) runs good, and starts easy with just a turn of the key. Motor has that powerful vintage Chevy sound we all love. This car is a true Southwest vehicle with 99% NO rust. only thing I could find was a small cancer hole about the size of a silver dollar on the passenger side lower front quarter panel. Other than that the car is in amazing condition for its age and mostly rust free. Undercarriage is clean, and all the trim is there. I also have about 3k in additional show quality chrome including a California one piece bumper and many other misc chrome accessories that I can throw in on the deal. I have the reserve set low for a quick and easy sale. If you have and questions please do not hesitate to ask. Good luck and happy bidding!

2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment
Thu, 07 Nov 2013That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.
Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
