Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Some checking of paint on hood and dash panel see picture. Small rust bubbles on lower right door are pictured. The car was restored in the 80's so expect some chips in paint, but overall a very presentable car."

This is a 1957 model 210, 4 door sedan.  The car was restored in the mid 80s. It was painted the original colors Harbor blue and Larkspur blue. The plastic bubble seat covers were hand made for the interior. The exterior and interior were left in stock condition adding the sun visor and fender skirts (not installed, but go with the car). The chrome is in great condition with only the front hood trim showing signs of age. The stock radio was replaced with an aftermarket FM/casette unit without disturbing the dash, I don't have a cassette to see if it works. The car has the  Kleenex dispenser, door handle guards, door window visors, electric wipers, dash mounted sun prism, heater and owners manual. From all outwards appearance the car is stock.

Over the years after the restoration the owner started adding upgrade features. A correct 245hp block was found and rebuilt using hardened seats in the heads. This is the 245hp version with solid lifter cam, 997 heads, centrifugal  distributor with pertronix  ignition installed. A correct numbers matching two four barrel carb and intake manifold were installed, with correct linkage and the domed top fuel filter. It uses the 3/8 fuel line from tank to carb. The tank and sender unit are new also. I do not have the batwing air cleaner. The cast iron manifolds were replaced with headers and a full aluminized exhaust system, with crossover pipe. There is a four core radiator installed with a five blade fan, the car doesn't overheat in parades. It uses a late model alternator and Optima battery.

The driveline has a 700R4 overdrive transmission. The rear gears are 3:55 posi track  from a 62 Chevy with Strange axles. New rear springs. For stopping a power a four wheel disc brake system was installed. Because 15 inch rims were required for the disc rotors ( Chevy had 14 inch rims in 57) wheels from a 90s Chevy  S-10 were used. This made us use wheel covers from a 56 Chevy (15") to replace the 57 14 inch covers. Steering is a power rack and pinion unit.

Please note, ebay requires an odometer number, the number showing on the car is 34527 but there is no way to verify it. In Texas if a vehicle is over 10 yrs old no matter what the mileage is the title comes back without the odometer reading. The restoration was done on a low mileage car in the 80s but its anybodys guess what the true mileage is.

In short if you check the Ecklers catalog the add on options with the labor it took to install them far exceeds the reserve price. Its like buying the options and getting the car free. The car has a current Texas inspection sticker. It drives well with good tires and in the four years I've owned it has placed in many car shows. The winning bidder must submit a $500 deposit through pay-pal within 48 hours. The balance can be paid when the car is picked up. Fayetteville is located west of Houston, southeast of Austin and east of San Antonio.

That time we lapped Indy with Tony Kanaan in a Corvette Z06

Sat, May 23 2015

We're here in Indianapolis, IN, attending this weekend's 99th running of the Indy 500. The big event happens tomorrow, but the city is buzzing today with all sorts of pre-race festivities. For us, that means checking out Indianapolis Motor Speedway a day early, and getting a hot lap around the racetrack in the official Indy 500 pace car – a 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Our driver for the occasion is IndyCar racer Tony Kanaan, who won the Indianapolis 500 in 2013. Of course, he'll be competing tomorrow, leaving pace duties to none other than Jeff Gordon. Check out our minute-and-a-half-long lap of the Indy 500 track in the video above, where Kanaan hugs the wall in true race style, getting the Z06 past 150 miles per hour on the back straight. Stay tuned for more Indy 500 coverage later this weekend.

Here's our 2016 Chevy Camaro mega-gallery, live from Belle Isle

Nearly 1,000 enthusiasts headed to Belle Isle in Detroit last weekend to witness the reveal of the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro. Couldn't make it? We've got the next-best thing. Here's a mega-gallery of everything that happened. We've got the reveal of the car in all three of the colors that were on display: red, blue, and gray. We take you under the hood and inside the cabin of this new muscle car. Plus, you can view the exterior from every angle. Then we returned the next day to test drive the Camaro. That was only for journalists, but these pictures are just like being there. And even if you made it to the Motor City this weekend, click through all of these shots to get a better sense of the sixth-generation Camaro. Related Video:

Chevy previews 2016 Malibu ahead of New York debut

Thu, Mar 5 2015

With everything going on in Geneva this week, it would be all-too easy to forget that there's still stuff going on back home in America. And the upcoming new Chevy Malibu is a prime example. Chevrolet has announced that it is bringing an all-new Malibu to the New York Auto Show next month, teasing us with this preview image and a few enticing details. For starters, when we say it's all new, this time we mean it's all new. The next-generation Malibu has been built on a new platform that uses more high-strength steel to cut 300 pounds off the curb weight compared to the outgoing model. It's also got a wheelbase that's almost four inches longer, with shorter overhangs front and rear and a roofline that tapers stylishly and more gradually towards the tail. We'll have to wait a little longer – but not too much longer – to find out more, but in the meantime you can read what Chevy's telling us so far in the press release below. Born Again: Next-Gen Chevrolet Malibu Announced Larger, lighter and more efficient Malibu to be unveiled at New York Auto Show 2015-03-04 DETROIT – Designed to deliver more efficiency, connectivity and advanced safety features than ever, the next-generation 2016 Chevrolet Malibu will make its public debut at the New York International Auto Show this April. Using a blank slate approach, Chevrolet designers benefited from an entirely new architecture, which for Malibu includes a wheelbase nearly four inches longer than the outgoing model. That, in turn, provides increased rear legroom and interior space. Due to a higher-strength steel structure, the new Malibu is also expected to be 300 pounds lighter than the current model, which benefits the sedan's fuel economy and handling. "Malibu's gorgeous styling is the result of a masterful understanding of proportions," said Ed Welburn, General Motors' vice president of Global Design. "The roofline has been stretched rearward giving a more sleek profile, while the front wheels have moved forward and front and rear overhangs have been reduced. Along with the sculpted body side, these cues help Malibu appear more dynamic and sophisticated." More details about the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu will be shared each week leading up to the vehicle's global debut. The 2016 Malibu is expected to go on sale by the end of 2015. Founded in 1911 in Detroit, Chevrolet is now one of the world's largest car brands, doing business in more than 115 countries and selling around 4.8 million cars and trucks a year.
