235 Cid 3 Spd. Manual With 2 Sod Overdrive, Unrestored And Original on 2040-cars

Year:1957 Mileage:52798
Location:

Clearwater, Florida, United States

Clearwater, Florida, United States

The facts:

1957 Chevrolet, 210 sedan, 235 CID 6 cyl. engine, 5 SPEED TRANS! 3 speed manual with 2 speed overdrive in 2nd and 3rd gear. 52,600 miles on odometer. The mileage is ORIGINAL. Radio delete with factory face plate, driver and passenger rear view mirrors.


The interesting:

This car is unrestored. Everything works including the cigaret lighter, dome light, dash lights, heater fan, glove box light. It has the original T3 headlights and windshield wipers. I have the ORIGINAL Briggs and Straton ignition key.Tires are original replacements, and yes, they are bias ply. Better start turning the steering wheel  ahead of time. I only replaced anything that was needed to make the car safe and road worthy.

These include:

heater hoses

rebuilt cylinder head

brake wheel cylinders and linings

leaf springs

gas tank and straps.

I have left everything else as original as I can. I have not “dressed, covered, hidden, repaired, detailed” anything that would detract from the original-ness of the car so you can see everything.


The caveat:

I was told this is original paint. (see history). I have had discussions with many different people including body shop painters that say it may be original, it may be repainted. You make your own determination. There is some patina in the hood and on top of the fenders. There are some scratches. I am still selling this car for this price. I can keep the car. If I keep it I will leave it exactly the way it is now.


The history:

This car was purchased in Brandon, Wisconsin, from the Miller Chevrolet dealership, by a man named Ornie Miller. (I don’t know the spelling of either Miller, and there is no relation of Ornie to the dealership). He purchased it when he was 59 years old as a Sunday driver, hence the missing radio. He just wanted to relax.  I believe he served in the Civil Defence project as evidence of the decal in the passenger wing window. I’ve wanted to check the internet to see if his name comes up on any rosters. 

He sold the car to Mark Kholmann of Saint Cloud, Wisconsin in 1989. Mark drove the car on Sundays and to weekend shows. The car was stored for a long time, and I purchased it last year with 47,300 miles on it. I have put over 5,000 miles on it. I drove this car from Wisconsin to Florida in January. I drove 75 MPH and the car got 18.3-18.9 Miles to the Gallon! The car rode like a Cadillac!

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
