Too many projects and one has to go... This 57 Chevy was originally Matador red with an Ivory top
 and at some point in it's life the body was painted black. It was the base BelAir with the standard 235
 six cylinder and standard three on the tree standard transmission. No other options except for the 
bumper guards, even still has the radio delete panel in place. Someone has started the rebuild and
 had new seat covers, headliner, and door panels installed, but the front door panels will require new 
cardboard as they did not use the correct material, covers are still usable, will have to be re-glued.  
The bottom of the car is as clean as the top with a flat black paint. This car runs and drives, but will need 
some minor additional work
Here is what I was planning on restoring: Repaint the entire car back to the original colors, replace
 driver's door hinge pin(already purchased), replace windshield (hairline crack-pass. side), driver's side
 front floor pan was replaced but not welded in correctly by the previous owner, replace front cardboard
 interior door panels, restore passenger side window slides, restore all seals, restore minor dents, scratches,
 very, very  small rust places on trunk area and rockers where molding was covering, replace rocker moldings.
 All trim and the doghouse was removed for painting and just replaced for the pictures and to sell, not all
 bolts are in nor is the doghouse wiring(pretty easy stuff) completed. Horns work thru a pushbutton on dash.
 Bumper bolts to re-attach, originals were burnt off. New Trim clips are included.
I'm pretty sure the car is  98% complete .
Here is what has been done already: Interior, engine and trans, brakes, Coker classics , gas tank,
 complete exhaust system, Many replacement parts from Eckler's over $100.  Almost all bolts and panels
 on doghouse (front fenders and hood have been cleaned and repainted.
 This will be a great project for someone to finish on a classic Chevy.
This Chevy has been very well taken care of and can be driven with just a few minor repairs. 
 Selling with No Reserve,  Bid to own, I have the clear title in my name and hand.
Car is located near Effingham, IL at zip 62443.  Delivery can be at $1.00 per loaded mile - reasonable distance..

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

For 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

Fri, 11 Apr 2014



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?
