1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop 2-door-hot Rod, Street Rod, New Paint, Rare! on 2040-cars
|
FOR SALE: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop 2-Door 283 c.i. V8 paired to a 4-speed manual transmission-the pair is freshly (o miles) rebuilt Fresh black paint on all body panels The car is incomplete, as you can see, and it is at the perfect stage for anyone who wants to complete the car in original fashion or go with a more modern look. I was going with a more modern look, therefore, I purchased a new set of 17-inch REV wheels and Hankook Ventus tires for the car. The exterior is free of any trim or bumpers but the car will be accompanied by a portion of the original exterior trim including the front and rear bumpers and the Bel Air fin plates. The car will also be accompanied by a small portion of the original glass and glass trim, the majority of which I have deemed not salvageable. The body is very straight and the paint job is of high-quality. The interior remains incomplete but the sheet metal throughout the interior and the trunk is solid. I have a full set of seats and interior panels that are in good condition and covered in black crushed velvet upholstery. The interior will still need metal trim, carpet, insulation, gauges, and luxuries. The car runs and drives as it sits. I infer that if you are looking at buying one of these cars, you have the knowledge to recognize what this car needs to be complete. This would be easy for somebody to complete before spring and cruise season. This car would also be perfect for someone who wants to ditch the existing power train for an LS motor or a big block and go the pro-touring route with this car. I had planned to finish the car within the next year but a recent, unexpected occurrence forces me to sell the car. As you know, the '57 Bel Air Hardtop 2-door is one of the most highly-sought after cars in history and when you buy this car, you will be making a sound investment. The car holds a clean and clear title that is ready for transfer to the new owner. I will gladly provide you with more information if you are seriously interested in the car. I will receive the purchase amount in full in a secure payment form (cash, wire transfer, or a certified bank check) before the car or the title will leave my possession. I will gladly accommodate any logistics arrangements but the buyer will need to fund those arrangements. I can reached by voice or text at (270) 748-1882. I appreciate your interest and happy bidding! On Jan-30-14 at 07:52:46 PST, seller added the following information: *It turns out that I have a front and rear windshield for the car. These will be included. *A picture of the cowl plate has been uploaded to the picture sequence. This will allow you to verify that this car is what it is advertised as. *The tires and wheels have 0 miles on them. |

C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.
