1957 Chevrolet Bel Air150210 Bel-air on 2040-cars
Concepcion, Texas, United States
Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : isabelleippowell@lakelouise.net .I have a 1957 Chevrolet 2 Door Hardtop I am a car dealer but this is my personal car. Texas Title is in my name
and not my dealerships name. It is on a 5 year classic registration in Texas.
There are hundreds of things I can put on here and hundreds of questions you will have. So I am going to just list
what shape the car is and a few things about it. It will be accurately described.
1. 1957 Chevrolet 2 Door Hardtop
2. Exterior is what I call a 20 footer. It is a very good 20 footer. It is a great "driver condition" car.
3. All Chrome and stainless are there and in very nice shape. There are a few little nicks here and there but
nothing major at all.
4. The car was restored in the late 70's or early 80's and is still in nice shape.
5. Interior is in very nice shape. Seats are good and original. Carpet is very nice. Dash is nice. All windows
work like they are suppose to. The small locks on the windows still work. The chrome piece that flips up and down
above the doors works great. All lights and blinkers work including interior dome light. Speedometer and
temperature dash lights do not work. Bulbs are out and I have had time to change them. Horn does not work. It
does have the original 18" steering wheel.
6. Engine is a 1965 corvette 327/350HP solid lifter engine that runs very strong. I put a brand new Edelbrock 600
carb on it Friday September 4th. It runs perfect.
7. Transmission is a 3-speed automatic. It is not a power-glide. It could be a turbo-glide but I am not
positive. You can see the transmission letters on the steering column. There is a D, L2 and L1, It has a small
pan gasket leak on the transmission. Not a big deal.
8. It does not have power steering nor power brakes. NO A/C.
9. It has NO rust issues. Trunk, rockers, quarters are all solid. You can tell all of that was fixed years ago.
10. I have driven this car over 300 miles the last 2 weekends to car shows. It has performed flawlessly.
THIS IS A DIVORCE SALE but will not be given away.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows
Wed, 13 Mar 2013While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
