See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Recent restoration of an almost completely original car. The transmission is the only non original power train part. Was turboglide,now Powerglide. Basecoat/clearcoat paint in the original color. Brand new Ciadella interior. New front and rear glass. beautiful car ready for cruise or show. Some minor flaws in the paint and side window glass visible only up close."

This car was originally sold by Hastings Chevrolet in Santa Monica CA on July 30 1957. I bought this car in 1978 from the second owner. I do have most of her receipts for service up until that time as well as the original owners manual (not a repro). I drove the car for about 6 months and then parked it along with several other cars on my "to restore" list. Finally about two years ago I began the restoration. The car had been repainted blue so the first chore was to strip it completely and repaint it in the correct "Imperial Ivory". The car ran but it had been sitting so long that I decided to rebuild the engine, carburetor, brakes, and transmission. The engine code (F709GC) shows the car to be a 220 hp power pack with a turboglide transmission. I found in the stack of receipts that the trans had been changed to a powerglide in October 1974. This is the only non original part in the powertrain of this car. The Generator and Power brake master cylinder were rebuilt and new wheel cylinders were installed along with new brake shoes. A new fuel pump,and fuel tank were installed along with a new original style exhaust system. The radiator was recored. The front bumper was rechromed and all the other chrome pieces were replaced with Danchuck parts. The stainless trim was polished and reinstalled with new Danchuck brackets. The windshield and rear window were replaced with new from Danchuck and the wiper motor was rebuilt. Other new parts include the light switch, dimmer switch, neutral safety switch and back up light switch. The complete interior was purchased from Pete Ciadella (Tempe AZ) in the original trim code 670 colors and installed in San Diego by Ciadella's recommended shop. New tires were installed. The car is beautiful but not perfect. I did not replace the side glass and they show some minor delamination, there are some very minor scratches and small dents in the stainless trim around the front windshield, and there are a few minor imperfections in the paint that can only be seen from very close inspection. The radio and clock do not work but everything else does. The last two restored cars I sold both had their radios changed to something new fangled immediately so I didn't want to waste the money fixing them. All in all you will be proud to own this car and I believe it is priced well below the market. Here are the numbers on the car. Engine: F709 GC, date code G37 (July 3rd 1957) Cylinder heads #3731559 The VIN shows the car was built in Long Beach CA on friday July 19th 1957. You'll note it has the California style one piece front bumper and the smooth frame. I do not know why, but the owner that I purchased the car from changed the license plates in september 1975 to the current 466NCC from the original KRK853. The original plates should have been yellow with black letters (not black with yellow letters like the 1960's) I have receipts and paperwork for all of the above items and the car comes with a photo album showing the entire restoration.

Here is your chance to go back 56 years and see how it really was with an unmodified almost original 57 that looks and smells like it just came off the showroom floor. I would urge any bidders to come look at the car or have a professional inspect it. The car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to close the auction any time if my reserve has not been met. The buyer must deposit $500 dollars within 24 hours of bid closing. (paypal or cash). Full payment to be made within 7 days. I will accept wire transfer of funds, Cashiers checks, personal checks, or cash but checks must clear before delivery. The title is clear, the car is licensed and insured, and awaits a new owner.

Chevy reveals Colorado Z71 Trail Boss Edition

Sat, Mar 7 2015

Chevrolet wants to make sure that if people are in the market for a midsize pickup, then there is a Colorado available to fit their desires. For businesses, there's the recently unveiled box delete package and for those looking for a customized look, there's the GearOn Edition. For the latest Z71 Trail Boss version, the automaker is going for folks planning to go off-road. As the name suggests, all Trail Boss versions of the Colorado start with the already off-road-inlined Z71 trim level, including its 305-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 and six-speed automatic, and the package can be added to practically any body variant: extended or crew cab, long or short bed and rear- or four-wheel drive. To set things apart, there's a locking rear differential, front tow hooks, darkened 17-inch wheels that are shod with Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires and on the four-wheel drive models, a transfer case shield. For some extra style, the Colorado Trail Boss wears black parts for the fender flares, side steps and Bowtie badges. The bed also gets a spray-on liner and a few parts from the GearOn accessory catalog, including the tie-down rings, load bar and cargo divider. The Trail Boss goes on sale in the spring, and to add all of this equipment to a Colorado, it costs $3,320 in addition to the price of any Z71 trim model.

The Trail Boss combines the capability of Chevrolet's Z71 off-road truck suspension package with more aggressive tires and additional appearance enhancements. It is offered in extended and crew cab configurations, with a choice of a long or short cargo bed and available 4WD. The Trail Boss goes on sale this spring with a starting price of $28,505 plus the package price of $3,320. "The Chevrolet Colorado Z71 Trail Boss Edition is equally at home blazing an urban trail or following one to a favorite remote campground," said Tony Johnson, Colorado marketing manager.

'Baby Driver' is a car chase movie set to music

Mon, Mar 13 2017

The Fate of the Furious is certainly the 6,000-pound SUV in the garage of automotive movies, but that doesn't mean gearheads are starved for options. The upcoming film Baby Driver looks to be a winner for car guys, featuring exciting chases with cars including a "hawk-eye" Impreza WRX, a Dodge Challenger, and a 1980s Chevy Caprice. The movie is written and directed by Edgar Wright, whom you may know as the man behind movies such as Sean of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. And based on the two trailers released so far, seen above and below, it's about a young man by the name of Baby, who is a getaway driver for criminals. He's apparently the best in the business, and the secret to his success is the music he listens to while he's driving. He also wants out, but his boss, played by Kevin Spacey, has no intention of letting him go. Spacey is one of a number of major stars in the film, including Jamie Foxx and John Hamm. The driving action shown in the trailers definitely looks entertaining. The WRX is seen doing an array of drifts and J-turns. There is some driving precision on display here that wouldn't be out of place in a Gymkhana video. And it looks like Wright's attention to detail in his shots and transitions, as well as some solid comedy relief, are all going to be present. The film comes out this August.
