1957 Chevy Bel Air Convertible on 2040-cars
Sparta, Tennessee, United States
|
A true American Classic! For sale is a beautiful 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible. This car has had a complete frame off restoration. The restoration is about six years old. The car has new quarter and rocker panels, and the floor is solid. All of the upholstery is new as well. The power plant in this car is a completely rebuilt 283 V8, with a brand new CM600 4 barrel Edelbrock carb. The transmission in the car has been completely rebuilt as well. The color of the car is base coat clear coat GM Matador Red. The frame was bead blasted and professionally refinished in high gloss black. Everything on this car works great. This restoration was done very carefully and the car was gone through with a “fine tooth comb” so to speak. We have literally touched every piece on this car. The only problems with the car are on the convertible top there are two small tears were the top meets the body & the rear right bumper guard has a small amount of surface rust. We never re-chromed that piece. All in all this is a very solid, well done car, that with be sure to turn heads! The milage on the car is 68304, that is the original mileage, however there has been maybe 1000 miles put on the rebuilt motor. The reason for selling? The owner, my father, is getting older and does not have time for this hobby any more. Please email for additional pictures, and for any questions. Thank you. The fantastic thing about this car is that IT IS A NUMBERS MATCHING CAR! The motor, tranny, generator, radiator, distributor housing, exhaust manifold, manifold intake, power steering pump, starter & rear and front differential, match. The convertible top also has the factory electric motor. The convertible top frame is original, and has been refinished in high gloss black. We believe that even the glass is original. I do have the original radio but it is not working. We have replaced it with a reproduction Wonder Bar that is AM/FM with a digital tuner. I also have the original Rochester 4 barrel carb that has been re-built. The car does have the original padded dash as well. I also have the original jack. Now for a list of some of the new parts, New top Firestone Whitewall original style tires from Coker floor braces New rear wells on both sides Lots of great new sheet metal parts from Dan Chuck and Ecklers. Leaf springs Dual exhaust system Spare tire All weather stripping was replaced Body mounts Bushings and ball joints Brakes all the way around And much more |

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
2014 Chevy Silverado High Country spied wearing trappings of new luxury trim
Wed, 03 Apr 2013Spy photographers have spotted the new Chevrolet Silverado High Country and GMC Sierra Denali out on public streets for a little testing. From the looks of things, the Silverado will receive a much-differentiated front fascia along with special badges and those honking 20-inch chrome wheels. Expect to find a more posh interior as well. Likewise, the Sierra Denali will wear a tweaked nose with the familiar Denali bling. The one of the GMC trucks spotted here rolls on 21-inch gunmetal wheels instead of the 20-inch chrome pieces of the High Country.
Word has it both trucks will go on sale after the Texas State Fair this summer. While General Motors hasn't said for certain what we can expect to find under the hood, we'd be surprised to see anything outside of the range of engines found in the standard Silverado and Sierra models. That means buyers should be able to get their hands on the efficient, 23-miles per gallon 5.3-liter V8.
