1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Base Convertible 2-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States
|
Barrett Jackson / Mecum quality restoration. Runs and drives like a new one, engine and Powerglide transmission have a couple thousand miles on them. It was built in Late May with the correct engine and transmission. The engine has all upgraded hypereutectic pistons, hardened seats, stainless valves, etc. to run standard pump gas. 283 with 2 bbl, power steering, push button radio, electric wipers with washer. Time for a new owner, I literally have too many trophies and too little time to enjoy this awesome car. Very fair reserve, check out the 2014 Dallas Mecum auction, (two days ago), one without the original transmission sold for 60k on day one, anyone who knows these cars knows the value. This is a nut and bolt, frame off restoration. This car was very solid to start with and disassembled, media blasted and epoxy primed. It was then painted with Sikkens base and three coats of clear, with 45 hours of wet sanding and buffing, the car looks like a new lacquer job with the durability of base/clear. The hood, doors and trunk open and close perfectly, with correct gaps. The undercarriage is correctly painted urethane based red oxide primer, with correct frame black. Convertible top frame was disassembled, rebuilt, and painted the correct Highland Green. The car is correct down to the clutch head screws that hold the fuel sender in the tank. It was restored to classic Chevy guidelines. Can send more detailed pictures if necessary. I reserve the right to end this auction early as I have it listed locally. Thanks for looking, please let me know if you have any question, thank you, Craig. On Sep-11-14 at 06:04:04 PDT, seller added the following information: To all who are watching/bidding on my vehicle. It has come to my attention that some watchers, one in particular, believe that my description of 'Barrett Jackson/Mecum quality' tells of an average, at best restoration. As I am not "a true insider, or a collector", as I was called by this E-bay member, I was not aware that describing my car as Barrett Jackson/Mecum was an insult to my car! I do know, however, that any auction has it's faults, and while I have never been to one of them, I have seen some very nice and high quality auction cars in person. So, I am not evading, or coming to some odd conclusions about my car, so if you have any questions about my car, feel free to ask, and if you are the high bidder, fly here or have a private inspection done before completing the transaction. As for all who have been stung by the actions of sellers in the past, remember that 'what comes around, goes around'. Thanks, Craig. E-mail me and I will give you my number, or I will call you..Thanks. |

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette
Mon, 04 Feb 2013If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1
Thu, 28 Feb 2013During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
