First let me start off by saying I am really going to be sad to see this one go...Bought this car for myself but i just do not have the time it needs with everything that is going on in my life , plus 2 other project cars that are not finished..........

1957 Chevy bel air , 2 door sedan , 283 v8 w/ muncie m21 4 speed transmission , this is a great starting point for someone...2 owner car ..

First 5 of Vin# VC57T

Motor is the original 283 that the car was born with , it has been rebuilt recently and has zero miles on it.... New unleaded heads ( have originals also ) , heads received a valve job , all new valves , springs , rockers , ARP studs and Head bolts , New crank bearings , new cam bearings , New oil pump , new oil pan (have original also ) new timing chain , new chrome timing chain cover , 2 barrel intake (have orig also ) , Mt valve covers , couple chrome trinkets brackets etc..I have the original generator , plus a new alternator depending on which direction you want to go..I have the fuel pump and a brand new electric fuel pump that is installed , orig has block off plate...All new hardware on this motor....Original exhaust manifolds , with new hardware new gaskets etc...Motor has all new fel pro gaskets , plus more ....It is ready to run for years to come.....

Transmission is a mid 60's Muncie m21 that has also been rebuilt , new clutch , good bell housing , new pressure plate , new throw out bearing etc...Gear box was gone through and anything suspect was replaced to the tune of $1500 ...Nice Hurst Bench seat shifter...Z bar and all linkages already installed in the car so headaches trying to figure it out.....Drive shaft all painted and ready to go back in also..

Old Ansen sprint style mag wheels , cool old wheels , one has a ding but holds air just fine...

Body on the car is in good shape , has all the factory trim still on it and in good shape..Couple minor dings in the stainless but can be fixed and polished.Bumpers are all there and in good core condition , they could be rechromed (which i would do) or replaced if you choose to go that route.Nothing fits better or is stronger then the factory stuff...

Body has some rust bubbles down on the rocker area , one spot on the passenger door where you can see a crack in bondo but otherwise the exterior looks pretty dang good ..One minor dent in top of passenger fender..The backsides of all the fenders and quarters look really good , they have not been all sauced up or welded up etc, they fell good with your hand and look to be rust free from the back side!!Thats a big plus!I took pictures of the back sides of the fenders and stuff but its hard to make out what the pics are , you can see that there is no rot though....The rockers down low need a little attention or replaced , the back side of the rocker (inner rockers ) need some work but just normal stuff , the toe board floor mounts need fixed , and a couple of the floor braces need some work....Otherwise the rest of the floor pan looks real good , the trunk pan looks real good too , hood is nice , as well as trunk lid.....The under side of the car still has factory under coating on it so it looks crusty but mostly just that old under coating...The frame is solid as a rock , i stripped it lightly when i first got the car and under coated it to protect it, Not trying to hide anything car will speak for itself..Looks ok for what it i but i was planning on a frame off at some point anyhow...This car is by no means a hunk of scarp , it is well worth putting the effort forward with...

I stripped and hand sanded the engine bay , pulled out everything , media blasted most parts i could get off and painted it with SEM rustshield , put everything back together and installed the motor/ trans , it looks awesome!! I was going to run the car for a while with the patina while i built a game plan to restore it..

I have 2 other cars in the middle of restoration but i wanted to drive and enjoy this one for while and not have to be afraid of every little thing....The brakes work , fuel lines are ran up to the engine bay , all wires are there , emergency brake works great , has dual exhaust which is hooked up so it really wouldn't take an awful lot to get this car running again if that's what you want to do with it....

The interior is all here , it has a black bench seat in front , a blue bench in rear , all window trim is there and in good shape , headliner is intact and not ripped but older , dash is mostly complete except to just bolt the cluster back in and other misc stuff.Steering wheel is a 210 wheel , but i think the only difference is the horn emblem or the center horn ring etc not 100% sure , it is in better shape then the original though so in it went....I have all the door handles and window cranks, arm rests plus extras from another car i took parts from.All glass intact with couple cracks , windshield and rear windshield are good as well as a couple others..I have two sets of door panels , the black set that match the front seat and the blue set that match the rear , I kept them around basically to pull the trim off of them and stuff but its up to you if you want to use them or not i don't think they are worth it...I have a brand new set of blank door panels i got from Danchuck that i was going to wrap in leather with inserts but you can do what you like...Just want you to know what you are getting with the car....

I have a bunch of extra parts that go with the car , basically a whole trunks worth... Original radio , orig heads , orig pans , new glove box , a bunch of old Orig gm hardware screws etc , misc extra brackets , NOS GM lower trunk trim w/ the 2 outside pieces too , (gm accessories ) , extra hinges , extra trim , electric wiper set up plus stock one , etc............Just a bunch of good stuff to have...

So that is the basic run down on the car , if i havent scared you off yet that is good because Overall the car is well worth fixing and will be a great project for some one , it was going to be for me but unforeseen things have come up and i need to sell, it pains me for sure but its the way it goes sometimes.If your handy you will be WAY ahead of the game with this one, there is already over 5k in the drive line you will not have to spend......Perfect father & son/daughter project, these old cars are just the coolest....There is no feeling like cruising the strip in a 57 chevy bel air, family in tow , fuzzy dice swinging in the breeze , arm out the window and just forgetting about work for a few hours......

Great Christmas present for yourself....

I have CT transferable paper work for the car which all ct gives for classics (check it out if you like) , you will get a title back in your own state unless its Ct , they take your titles and keep them...

The car is a project car so it is sold as-is , No warranty claimed in any way shape or form...I try to be very honest and straight forward with the descriptions because i know its hard to judge a vehicle without seeing it in person !if you would like to see the car in person please call or text the number below..You are NOT bidding on a chance to come look it over and decide, you are bidding to own the car....If you get here and the car is wayyy off on the description (within reason) i wont hold you to it...I am human and things might slip my mind but i assure you nothing major ..I will also update the ad with anything else i can think off as the week goes..Shipping is up to the buyer and on their dime , i have a buddy who owns a flat bed and can get you a reasonable price within a couple hundred miles or so if you want me to ask him..I will also assist in any way that i can in regards to picking up / shipping etc..I will pack the car good and make sure it gets on the truck safely..I will also make myself available to the shipper at any time he needs , up to midnight i understand they have a schedule and you want to get your new baby home quick as possible... $500 non refundable deposit due with 72 hours of auctions end , either by bank wire transfer or m/o etc....I would like to be paid in full within 7 days of auctions end also...I can hold the car in a secure building until you pick it up , if it is going to be longer then 2 weeks after auction we can discuss it..

GM Recalling 370,000 Trucks For Fire Risk

Mon, Jan 13 2014

DETROIT (AP) - General Motors is recalling 370,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups from the 2014 model year to fix software that could cause the exhaust components to overheat and start a fire. The recall includes 303,000 trucks in the U.S. and 67,000 in Canada and Mexico. All of the trucks involved have 4.3-liter or 5.3-liter engines. GM said eight fires have been reported, but no injuries. One garage was damaged, the company said. All of the incidents occurred in cold weather. The company is asking customers not to leave their trucks idling unattended. GM dealers will reprogram the software for free. The company will inform owners starting Jan. 16. The major recall announcement, which came on Saturday, marred the Silverado's winning of the 2014 North American Truck of the Year Award at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday.

'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.

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
