1957 Chevy 210 Hardtop Sport Coupe on 2040-cars

Year:1957 Mileage:97599
Location:

Ottumwa, Iowa, United States

Ottumwa, Iowa, United States

This car recently came from my late great uncle's farm in southeast iowa where it sat for decades. Its a rare model 210 Hardtop Sport Coupe. Of all the two hundred thousand 2 door hardtops built that year only around 5% were model 210. 

I found no title for the car, repeat NO TITLE. The upper description says "vehicle title- clear" meaning there are no known designations, NOT meaning there is a title. 

It rolls for loading but kicking the tires is the only way to steer, no steering wheel.

This car is very incomplete. I hauled it to my shop, set a hood on it and got the tires to hold air. There are no hood hinges, hood is just sitting there, seems latched but bring straps. 

The frame looks decent, didnt find any holes but the front stub is from a later model with disc brakes, its welded on in front of the firewall. The car appears to still have the original rear alxe. The floor pans are gone, and the lower quarters and lower front fenders have rot, trunk pan has rot. The doors seem decent, surprisingly open and close correctly. The bumpers are no good. Most glass is cracked or damaged. The roof skin looks solid, but check out the pictures close, the car has damage/dents/rust, etc and lots of missing trim/parts.

The interior looks pretty complete at a glance, with the exception of the  obvious steering wheel, column, glove box door, upper rear seat, and Im sure a few more things.  

Vehicle is sold AS-IS where is. This auction can be cancelled at any time. Buyer is responsible for all shipping concerns. Full payment is due within 5 days of auction end by cash in person or transfer. No returns or refunds. A $200.00 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit is due through paypal within 24 hours of auction end. The car needs picked up within 14 days or it gets resold. Thanks for looking.


On Jul-20-14 at 11:37:53 PDT, seller added the following information:

I have a contact with a title and vin plate to a 57 chevy V8 2door hardtop 210 model, he is will to sell them for a couple hundred. His info will be provided to the winning bidder.

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.

Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
