1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Base Hardtop 4-door 265 3-speed on 2040-cars
Idaho Falls, Idaho, United States
|
Found! An all original unrestored 1957 Chevy. The previous owner parked the car in 1984 to be restored. Lots of new and used parts were ordered and will be included with the sale. The engine was partially disassembled, rags were stuffed into holes, and the project was stopped and never completed. The owner has since passed on and I bought this from his wife. According to the Idaho DMV there was only one title prior to me. Overall the body and underside are in pretty good condition for the age. Some rust through in the floor pans. No signs of bondo or any kind of body repair. Except for the front left fender the body is pretty straight. Everything looks original, except for the voltage regulator which looks aftermarket. All of the windows and doors operate. There is a dent in the right rear quarterpanel, a few small dents on the roof, and it looks like the car ran over a rock. I do not see any major frame damage, just a dent on a support member. The frame looks straight. The front windshield needs replacing. This is a major restoration project, but car is pretty complete. Matching engine & VIN numbers, radiator # is correct, I didn't check others numbers. It looks like all of the parts removed from the engine compartment were placed in the trunk, and are shown on one of the pictures. The engine turns over freely by hand, not frozen.
For an extra $500 plus crating and shipping the buyer can have a nice 350 engine, has 4-bbl Rochester. I heard it running in the donor vehicle before it was pulled. The antifreeze was clear and green, the oil was light bodied and not burnt, oil pressure was good, idled smooth. Looking in the oil filler opening the valves and head are spotless. This was a recent high quality rebuild. The block was decked (no VIN) but other than that, I do not know what all was done, and I am not going o tear it apart to find out. The only way to find out exactly what is inside would be to tear it apart and measure everything. was just going to put it in the Chevy, replace the clutch, and drive it. Look closely at the pictures and you can see the engine on a stand. Email me for link to additional pictures. |

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]
Thu, 07 Feb 2013For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.
2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers

Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
