1957 Chevy Chevrolet Bel Air Belair 2 Door Hard Top Project Rebuilt 283 on 2040-cars
Viola, Arkansas, United States
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.

Body shop manager stole over $500,000 worth of government trucks and parts
Fri, Jan 27 2017The US Department of Justice announced yesterday that the manager of a collision and restoration business in Virginia admitted he helped misappropriate and sell vehicles and parts from the State Department. Specifically, he sold 12 Chevrolet Suburbans, a Hummer, and $7,500 worth of tires and wheels. He pled guilty to charges to commit theft of government property and wire fraud. He will likely see 18 to 20 months in prison, a fine of $4,000 to $40,000, and has already agreed to pay restitution of $416,020 and asset forfeiture of the same amount. According to the Department of Justice, the body shop manager, James Ratcliffe, worked with the owner of the business and a State Department official, both unnamed, to obtain the property. It started with the wheels and tires, which were delivered and sold on two occasions, one in 2011 and another in 2012. The trucks came later, and were sold throughout 2011 and 2013. Ratcliffe and the shop owner kept most of the profits, and shared some of the leftovers with the government official. In addition to the vehicles that were sold, the government official also gave Ratcliffe a pair of Suburbans for his own personal use. The Department of Justice estimated the total value of the SUVs at $96,400. In total, the group misappropriated $512,420 worth of property. Related Video:
Buick takes top spot in 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study
Tue, Jun 28 2022People, economies, and supply chains weren't the only things continuing to get sick over the past year. The 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) is out, showing the average rate of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100) during the first 90 days of ownership increased overall. The average figure for the 32 ranked manufacturers in 2020 was about 166 problems per 100 vehicles. In the 2021 IQS, that dropped to an average of 162. This year, the average jumps to 180 problems. J.D. Power says that figure is a record high over the 36-year history of the study. Buick leapt to the top of the rankings this year with the fewest issues, at 139 problems per 100 vehicles in the first 100 days of ownership. After Dodge became the first American automaker to lead the IQS in 2020, followed by Ram in 2021, this year marks a three-peat for U.S. carmakers. Dodge took second this year at 143 PP100, Chevrolet third with 147 PP100, Genesis the first luxury maker on the chart in fourth with 156 PP100. Between February and May, this year's study gathered responses to 223 questions from more than 84,000 new 2022-model-year car owners and lessees. The questions are designed to zero in on real-world problems new owners encounter with nine categories of vehicle features: Infotainment; features, controls and displays; exterior; driving assistance; interior; powertrain; seats; driving experience; and climate. As has been the case in the past few year, infotainment has proved to be the most problematic bugbear making scores worse. Considering features individually, six of 10 of the worst problem areas dealt with infotainment, causing infotainment's score of 45 PP100 to be 19.5 PP100 worse than the second-placed feature. Consumers ranked getting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to connect reliably as the most troublesome. GM didn't just score with Buick, which was one of only nine of the 33 ranked brands to show improvement this year. The conglomerate earned first place with the fewest PP100 among all the automaker groups, and scored the most model-level awards with nine, ahead of BMW with eight and Hyundai Group with three. This year's study again showed a gap between luxury and mass-market makers, thought to be down to the amount of tech in luxury vehicles that consumers aren't properly informed about or that doesn't act as expected — that latter issue exacerbated by the chip shortage.
Next-gen GMC Sierra spied with diesel power
Tue, Sep 5 2017The next generation of GM trucks is arriving soon, and we're expecting a huge leap forward over the current lineup. The Chevy Silverado and the GMC SIerra sell extremely well, but haven't done much to move the segment forward in a long time. The Ford F-150 has an all-aluminum body and turbocharged V6 power. The Ram 1500 gained a diesel and coil spring suspension. These spy shots show that diesel may be in the cards for GM. Some quick shots and copious use of flash show what is most likely a tank for diesel exhaust fluid and a diesel particulate filter, both necessary equipment for any modern diesel. It's unclear what form factor that engine will come in, though GM has a number of engines to choose from, including the 2.8-liter inline four that's found in the Colorado and Canyon, though that may be a little light duty for the Silverado and Sierra. Other rumors surrounding the trucks suggest a move to an aluminum cab while retaining a steel bed. That seems like a reasonable move for GM, even if the company was attempting to shame Ford for its move to aluminum a few years ago. Look for more news as early as the Detroit Auto Show in January.
