57 Chevrolet V-8, Original Power Pack (4bbl carb, 220hp) Original 3 Speed (on the tree) with RARE ORIGINAL OVERDRIVE What I remember when the car was purchased: This car is extremely original (even the Mohair headliner) with ALL numbers matching (all engine parts, tranny, overdrive, windows, etc....) except the rear end. The rear end was replaced before my mother got the car but it was replaced with a 'newer' chevy rear end with 4:11 gears. The 4:11 gears are the stock ration for the overdrive model. I was able to drive this car a bit when I was in high school. She's a heavy car, but with the Power pack motor and 4:11 gears she's a true "stump puller!" Don't tell my mother, but there wasn't a single person in high school that could beat me off the line in this car. Ahhh, the memories! The OD helped quiet down the noise @ freeway speeds. Oh, the original color was Salmon - the previous owner painted it the '57 Buick blue color that you see. My mother did tell me that the glove box and the glove box door are currently missing. My father took it out to work on something (I don't know what??) and never got around to putting it back in. From the photos, it also looks like the driver's door panel is missing. I have not personally seen the car for years but ask me any questions you have and I will get what answers I can from my mother. Other than the photos on this listing I personally have not seen the car for about a decade (the photos were taken this last week) so this is an as-is sale. But, she is a clean titled, very original '57 Chevy with numbers matching Power Pack motor, 3 speed manual transition and very RARE OVERDRIVE. As-is, where-is. Payment due within 7 days of auction end. Your responsibility for gettin' her moved but I don't mind helping find an auto hauler if you need one (although I think eBay offers a service, no? Not sure, never sold a car on eBay before). Please ask any question you may have and I will do my best to get you the answers! Best of luck! If you don't mind putting a little elbow grease into her, this gal will make you happy! On Nov-23-13 at 15:30:41 PST, seller added the following information: Hi Everyone - thanks for all the great questions! I was able to get out there and take a look at the car today and took photos of what people were asking for. General description of what the car looks like now (as I mentioned before, I had not seen it in about 10 years... until today). Body panels look pretty solid and straight: fenders, quarters, doors, hood, trunk, etc but there is some typical/surface rust. Engine compartment https://www.dropbox.com/s/pg8y1tb47819oom/Engine%20Compartment.jpg The floor on the drivers side looks reasonable - probably savable but I am not going to make that call from a quick inspection as I did not want to peel up the original flooring ( I would just replace it and be done with it, myself). I now understand why my father removed the glove box door - there is a leak at the bottom passenger side of the front windshield and so the front passenger side floor will need replacing. Trunk looks really good (I mean, this car is over 50 years old!) Front passenger floor from the top From the underneath Driver side underneath Trunk Spare wheel well Gutters are so-so: will need some work. The back splash panel (located in front of rear bumper) will need replacing although the front one looks pretty good. Engine compartment has surface rust but the splash guards, etc are usable. Here is a spot with the SS missing that will need TLC: The drivers door cannot be opened right now. I'm positive the original ID plate is there, though - I would have remembered something missing as glaring as that. It may need the hinges replaced? After talking with my mother, my father did something to screw up the hinges. Apparently, no one ever found out what. Here are pix of the original overdrive equipment: Lever: and senor on the carb I'm pretty sure that the gas tank needs to get replaced - my father cut the fuel line so he could install a filter (original system only has a sintered brass filter in the carb) and then the turkey put in a 1 gallon paint thinner can and ran the fuel line into that (He has the mentality of a Great Depression survivor and applied it to everything - even if it didn't make sense). Replace the fuel line and gas tank, remove the 1 gallon can and it will be fine. Yes, the original OD equipment are still there and in place. Pix of the radiator numbers: yep, the original 1957 radiator. Driver side Passenger side Happy Bidding! |

GM recalls 200k Hummer H3s for fire risk
Thu, Jul 9 2015An issue with fires erupting in some Hummers has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for nearly 200,000 vehicles around the world. The bulk of them are in the United States. According to the first statement (below) obtained by Autoblog from GM, the issue stems from the HVAC system in Hummer H3 models. The connector module for the blower motor has, in certain cases, overheated, melted the surrounding plastic, and started a fire. 42 such cases have been reported, including three instances of occupants citing minor burns. GM confirms that two of those three cases lead to the vehicle being destroyed in the fire, but states that no crashes or fatalities have resulted. The issue affects 196,379 examples of the 2006-10 H3 wagon and the 2009-10 H3T pickup, with 164,993 estimated to be in the United States. In order to fix the issue, dealers are being instructed to replace the relevant parts of the connector and harness. In a second, unrelated campaign, GM is also calling in 50,731 Chevy Spark and Sonic small cars – 45,785 of them in the US – due to a software glitch. In those affected vehicles fitted with the base radio and OnStar system, the audio system may not be able to switch out of turn-by-turn direction mode, causing the display to go blank and all sound to mute – including key safety warnings. In addition, the system may not switch off, draining the battery. GM states that no crashes, injuries, or fatalities have resulted from this issue, and all that dealers will need to do in this case is reflash the software.

The heat could melt the plastic surrounding the connector module, increasing the risk of a fire. Dealers will replace the affected portion of the connector and harness. GM is aware of three reported minor burns and 42 fires but no crashes or fatalities related to this condition. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total recall population is 196,379. ### General Motors is recalling 45,785 2014-2015 model year Chevrolet Sparks, and 2015 model year Chevrolet Sonics in the U.S.
