Here is my 1957 Chevy Bel Air 2 door hard top project. It does have an original 57 283 V8 engine block that has been rebuilt to factory specifications. The numbers on the block are 3731548. The heads are power pack but not sure of the dates on them. The engine came with the car and the man I bought it from a couple years ago said it was the original engine. The intake is a 57 four barrel. The numbers on it are 3731398. Some of the web sites say the numbers on the block are the same as the Fuel Injected 57 Corvette. The body has ben patched with quarter patch panels on the passenger side. It needs more work to be smooth. The drivers side is pretty good. The floors have been replaced. The toe panels from the engine compartment show the patch and cutout area. The trunk needs to be repaired. The back glass area has rust through at the rubber area. The front windshield lower corners have been cut and replaced with patch and fiberglassed where there was some rust. The floor braces are good and original but the body mounts are dried and cracked. The transmission was a 3 speed manual from the factory but I have replaced it with a 350 turbo automatic that also has been rebuilt. No seats other than a four door rear seat and a four door front seat and a 1960 Chevy front split back seat. The hood is nice and so is the drivers front fender. The passenger front fender has a crack at the bottom. The doors are good and in primer. There are many parts with this car and several duplicates as I have been buying parts for a couple years for this. There are many stainless parts that are extras but the buyer can use them to sell or trade for what is needed. There are about 6 window flippers, 6 rear side glasses and many extra side stainless. The quarter fender scripts are nice. There are duplicate headlight buckets. There are 3 radiators that are not tested and probably need repair. One is a 57 another is 55 with transmission cooler fittings. There is a new in the box gas tank and new power brake master cylinder not installed. New wheel cylinders and brake shoes not installed. New windshield rubber not installed. No glass other than some vents and rear side glass. Does have a rear back window that is used. This car is sold AS IS totally as a project. To be paid for within 7 days. Can be picked up within 30 days. It has been in the garage for a couple years. Needs restored. Title is in my name.

AMC Trans Am Javelin SST, an ultra-rare underdog, is up for auction

Sat, Sep 9 2023

Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang Â— the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint Â— red, white and blue Â— and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its Â“ram induction systemÂ” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 Â— a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale. No bid estimate is available yet. Related Video: Motorsports Chevrolet Ford Pontiac Auctions Automotive History Racing Vehicles Classics

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:

Chevy Silverado Midnight Edition, Custom ready to stand out in pickup line

Thu, Feb 12 2015

Chevrolet spent its Chicago Auto Show introducing a pair of fullsize pickups that promise image-conscious buyers a truck experience that goes beyond the standard range, with the murdered-out Midnight Edition and the um, not murdered-out, Custom. Let's start with the Custom, which adds 20-inch alloys, as well as chrome bumpers, mirror caps and door handles to the Silverado LS. Available in both V6 and V8 varieties, and with the customer's choice of two- or four-wheel drive, the Silverado Custom is the decidedly mellower example of Chevy's special edition styling. The Midnight Edition, meanwhile, throws subtlety out the window with a menacing set of visual upgrades. Based on the Z71, the Midnight adds 18-inch wheels, a spray-in bedliner and unique Z71 and Bowtie badges, all in black, of course. The front and rear bumpers, headlamp bezels, tow hooks, mirror caps and door handles, are also finished in the stealthy shade. Check out our live images of both special edition trucks, and let us know what you think down in Comments.
