1957 Chevy Project Car. This is a solid beast ready to be taken to the next level. It was fairly solid from the start. Has new floor pans, inner and outer rockers, and some new braces here and there. The floors are sprayed with truck bedliner on the top and bottom. Body was off the frame. New body mounts and bolts are installed. The frame was stripped down, cleaned and sprayed with chassis black. The rear springs were moved inward with a McGaughys weld in spring pocket kit. Included new spring bushings. Shock relocation bracket was also welded in while the body was off. New shocks. Front end needs rebuilt. No motor, no trans, no drive shaft. All of the body parts were very solid and have just some small patch panels welded in before paint. The body was down to bare metal and epoxy primed. The doors open and close nice. The hood has one weak hinge but shuts good. Trunk needs a new latch. The body work is decent and fairly strait. It looks good considering black is the most unforgiving color. The paint is Dupont Basecoat/clearcoat. It has some imperfections, most of which can be wetsanded and buffed out. I did a quick sand and buff after it was painted to knock down the orangepeal but I didn't go crazy. There is a ton of clear to work with. The stainless on the sides are in good shape. They can be polished better, but I don't have the patience. I have the right fender spear ordered and it is included with the car and will be installed by Thursday. New door, trunk, glovebox lock with keys. New door handles. New tail light lenses. All new stainless hardware. The bumpers and other trim that is painted was not good enough to keep chrome. They will be good cores if someone wanted to swap them. I didn't go too crazy painting them. The charcoal pieces still show imperfections up close. I have the stainless trim for the front and rear windshield, also included. Wheels are 20x10 in the rear and 20X9 in the front. Tires have about 50 miles on them. If you don't want the wheels, I will deduct $750 from the winning bid and put some rollers on it. I have some new odds and ends pieces to the car. Some gaskets and weatherstrip. No interior. Back glass is included. Any questions, give me a call at 570-299-1755. I have a clear FL title in my name to the car. This is a big boy toy, so check with your wife, your girlfriend, your mom, your dog, or whoever you need to before bidding. I have the reserve set for the lowest amount I will consider for this car. If the reserve isn't met, the car will not sell. I am in no rush to sell the car, but am a motivated seller. Most of my auctions don't run the full 7 days, so feel free to send your best offer. The car can sit here as long as you need if its paid in full and I can recommend some transporters if you need.
If you have less than 5 positive feedbacks or just signed up with ebay in the past few months, call before you bid or I will cancel your bid.
The only trade I will consider is an old chevy 2 door or pickup project car and a fist full of cash. No boats, motorcycles, tractors, airplanes!!!!!!!

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.
GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
