1957 Chevy Bel Air 2 Door Hardtop Barn Find Complete on 2040-cars
Williams, Iowa, United States

Up for grabs is my 1957 Chevy Bel Air 2 door hardtop. These cars are some of the most sought after automobiles by about every type of auto enthusiast from hot rodders to high end collectors these cars have been the holy grail of hot rods from the start. And unlike a lot of the cars the 57 Bel Air 2 door Hardtops not only hold their value they continue to rise. Here is your chance to get in on the action. My father in Law gave me this car about 10 years ago for my birthday. It had been parked since 1981 in my father in laws barn and needed work then, so when i had recieved it of course it was in need of full restoration. But I didn't care because it was a 57 Bel Air 2 door Hardtop. I figured that after I completed my existing project at the time (which happens to still be my existing project) myself or at least my son would get it done someday. The longer it sits the worse its gonna get so i figured i would give someone else the chance at restoring it the way it should be before theres nothing left to restore. So as the story goes as with time i am listing it here today. I really dont know anything about the car other than it is all original minus the trunk lid (was hit by a flying truck tire) and was replaced. Also the Carb, intake and valve covers are from a Corvette. The only piece missing is the front seat, a friends friend was restoring one and needed it, i knew mine would probably never get used even if i did restore the car so I let it go, at a hefty price of coarse. I tried to get the best pics I could to explain the condition, but here are the basics. The floors are pretty much non existant not completely but the majority. Rocker panels are gone. Rust behind the front wheels, pot metal chrome has pitting, body panels straight with exception of rust. The motor does not run currently, i am assuming the rings are stuck have not tried to spray anything in the plug holes or anything just because again i would not have used the same engine I think a guy could probably get it goin with a little effort because it did run when he parked it just smoking bad. The trunk seems to be fairly solid but I have not looked because the factory mat is still intact and didn't want to ruin it taking it out. Headliner is in good shape would clean up nice I think, the back seat is in good shape just filthy some good strong soap would do wonders. Under the hood looks complete as mentioned was driving it before it was parked. I guess for lack of knowledge of the car just ask me any questions and I will get the answers for you between my father in law and myself we will get answers back to you. Also if there are some specific photos you want let me know and I'll do my best to get them. My reserve is significantly less than my buy it now price. Good luck to all

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Tue, 12 Feb 2013This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car
Thu, 14 Feb 2013It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.
Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
