1957 Chevy Nomad. I have owned this car for 10 yrs. Originally an Arizona car, brought to Michigan, owned by a previous owner for 30 years who semi restored it in 1974-76. 283 with a power glide. Supposed to be a powerpack 283. First year for the 283. This is a 57 dated motor. The 1957 283's were unique in that they had no side motor mount pad cast into the side of the block, thew mounted off of the front of the engine. This car was "restored" buy a fellow between 1974 and 1976. I have a series of 35 mm slides that came with the car showing it being painted and a fresh motor. The engine was rebiult at that time and he turned the odometer back to zero. To date there has been only 10,000 miles put on since 1976. I bought this car in Flint Michigan in 2003, and drove it home up the interstate 500 miles, 9 hrs ,65 mph, with no trouble. New dual exhaust put on in 2002 before I bought. Runs great and drives straight. The car was painted in 1976, as the slides show, and is starting to crack in places now. You can also see where a panel was painted at one time, top of L front fender and topof door, in the past do to a scratch repair, and was not a perfect match. When I bought the car it was stone stock. This is a near rust free car. Solid floors, solid rockers with one small area of rust as seen in pics, solid body mounts. The slides show there were a couple of places in the rear cargo area that were patched in 1976, the biggest being maybe 6" square. There is some body filler in the drivers door that can be seen. There are still traces of original red primer up under the drive shaft area. There is a spot of rust starting at the bottom of one of the fenders. I have $22,000 in reciepts that I spent starting in 2003. I had the car professionally lowered. Poisey drop rear springs, Hiedts 2" drop spindles with new coils, ball joints, tie rod ends, and power disc brakes. Polished American mags with BF Goodrich radials give it a nice look. I have added a complete new Painless modern wiring harness, Griffin cross flow radiator with fans, and air cond condenser, Rain Gear wiper system, power windows, Alternator, Edlebrock carb and manifold, front and rear bumpers completly rechromed along with the front hood and grill trim, complete new C.A.R.S. interior, I stripped the interior completely and replaced everything except the headliner which needed nothing, including all door and cargo panels and all garnish moldings repainted and new dash trim. Carpet in the cargo area is sun faded. This is a factory air condtioned car according to the firewall tag. So I re-plated the dash vents and heater control, which is special to a factory air car. I do not have any of the original air cond. parts for the engine compartment, there is also no heater parts in the engine compartment either. But air vents are working. New seat foam and covers. New tinted door window glass with completly rebuilt & rechromed window vent assemblys. The exterior stainless trim is as good as it gets for an original, with only a few dimples in a couple of pieces. New door gaskets and seals including the cargo doors. New Halogen headlights assemblies, new LED taillight assemblies including housings. New gas tank and sender. Pertronix ignition. 15" 1956 Bel air steering wheel. I have all reciepts, includes an assembly and service manual and a large book full of 57 Nomad magazine articles. Will ad more as I recall it.

I paid $22,000 for this Nomad in 2003, I have spent another $22,000 since purchase, total is $44,000. Have all reciepts. reserve is much lower.

On Sep-30-12 at 07:59:17 PDT, seller added the following information:

According to Hemmings or Old Cars grading scale, 1 to 6, 1 being perfect, 6 being a parts car, I would rate this a strong # 3, As I said, paint is 35 years old and has issues, underside is in original condtion not "restored" with the exception of the items I listed. Runs excellant and drives straight. Gets positive commets wherever I go, from little kids to little old ladies. There is no power steering. I see no reason you couldnt drive this anywhere. I am located near Iron Mountain Michigan, or 100 miles due north of Green Bay, Wisconsin

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
