$80,000 plus to build this 1957 Pro-Street Resto-Mod

This is a BEAUTIFUL 1957 Chevrolet 210 2-door coupe Pro Street that has had a professional rotisserie frame off restoration. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING was restored to new condition! $80,000 was spent and it shows! This car has ZERO rust and does not have one thing that will give you trouble. It runs, drives, handles, and performs perfectly in every way. TURN KEY HOD ROD!! It sounds wickedly mean and draws attention from blocks away with the throaty exhaust that will intimidate anyone in any car! Everything works as it should except the speedo. Doors open and shut effortlessly.

It has a beautiful paint job on a laser straight body, all new interior that shows no signs of wear, a under carriage that you can eat off of, and a completely rebuilt drive train from the motor to the Curry 9-inch rear end. The reinforced, professionally built frame was powdercoated before assembly. Nothing was left un-touched. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING was replaced new or rebuilt to new condition. The body was stripped to bare metal before painting so none of that Earl Schieb/One Day Paint bull here. After the paint was laid on it was color sanded and buffed to perfection! No orange peel to speak of! Paint is like a mirror! Turns all heads young and old where ever you go followed by dozens of thumbs up every day you drive it. Just PURE AWESOME!! Since this body off restoration was done approx. 5 year ago there is now signs of SLIGHT wear on the exterior only. A few chips in the paint here and there, some paint bubbling on the roof only, a few small chrome pieces need re-plating, and a one inch crack in the paint on the deck lid. I would put a very educated estimate to address these small issues at no more than $1000. Please continue to read below for some more details on the build:

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Tue, 21 Sep 2010

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
