Paint is PPG Base Coat Clear Coat, it was done right everything was removed taken down to metal and any rust which wasn’t much was cut out and metal was welded in, car is laser straight and has a showroom shine, no bondo, no waves, no rust, and all the gaps and panels align and fit as they should. All the weatherstrippings were replaced when the car was painted. 

The 468 was Dynoed at 373 Horse and 417 Torque to the rear wheels and consists of the following components Carburetor is a Holley 750 with Mechanical Secondaries and was completely gone thru with #72 jets in the front and #79 jets intalled in the rear and all blue non-stick gaskets were used, Edelbrock Ceramic Intake, Oval Port Heads with Oversize Valves Installed, Comp 282 Duration .555 Lift Camshaft, Forged Crank, Forged H-Beam Connecting Rods, Forged Pistons, New Ceramic Headers, Mallory Ignition, new chrome 100 Amp alternator, March Brackets, Engine compartment is completely chromed out with stainless throughout, and always draws a large crowd, Vintage A/C was added for those hot Summer days and blows Ice-Cold. Chrome Fire Extinguisher was added and custom whistle horns. Brakes were converted to Disc and are all new and stop extremely well. Insulation was added to the hood as well to help cut down on the heat.

Trans is a complete rebuilt Super T-10 with 2.43 1st Gear, 1.61 2nd , 1.23 3rd , 1.00 4th, New High Performance Clutch, Pressure Plate, and Throwout Bearing were installed, Hurst Linkage with Hurst Shifter give it that old school shift, New Driveshaft was installed, Rear is a 8.5 that was completely redone with 3:27 Richmond Gears, Eaton Posi, Hardened Axles, Heavy Duty Bearings and Seals. With the 3:27 gears and T-10 the tall 4th gear is like overdrive.

Interior was completely redone with new seats front and rear, new gauges speedometer needs to be hooked up, new wiring harness was installed, new headliner, new door panels front and rear, Vintage A/C was added and blows ice cold, new carpet with new heat insulation, new package tray, new vintage style radio with modern FM was added with new speakers, new emblems and new modern seatbelts were added for safety.  

All the lenses were replaced, Chrome and Stainless were replaced and are in superb condition and show minimal wear, the back bumper shows very minor surface rust and the corner shows slight sun fade but not really noticeable I am just picky but as you can tell from the pictures it is still extremely nice and not noticeable, all the glass was replaced with custom etching done on the passenger windows. All the emblems and interior trim were done in 14K Gold plating and look amazing even the Chevrolet V emblem on the trunk was done in 14K Gold and third brake light incorporated.

Entire fuel system was replaced with new gas tank, new fuel lines front to back, new Holley blue electric fuel pump, new Holley regulator, and the carb was completely gone through as mentioned earlier.

Cooling system consists of custom built 5 Quart radiator with heavy-duty water pump, new hoses, new electric fan was added because of Vintage A/C, doesn’t run hot never got above 200 with A/C on in rush hour traffic. 

Full 3”exhaust with crossover and Flowmaster 3 chamber 50 series mufflers give it that deep rumble and with the cam everyone turns to look at this beauty, if you do not like attention you will not like this car.

Suspension was all redone with all new bushings, completely rebuilt front end, new heavy duty 5 leaf springs in rear, new front disc brakes as mentioned earlier were added, new shocks and springs, etc. New Period Correct Smoothies were just installed with New Tires. 

Underneath is super solid as is the trunk and floor pans, any rust was cut out and replaced correctly which wasn’t much, and then the entire undercarriage was painted jet black and cleared over to preserve it.

I have 3 folders full of paperwork and receipts that go with the car including all the original Manuals and Instructions for everything installed. 

I will let the 85 pictures do the talking from here but you will not find a nicer 57 Chevy for the money, if you have been in the market for one you do not want to overlook this gem. Any questions call Frank 863-381-3499 I have a clear Florida title in my name, I welcome and encourage local inspections as the car is as advertised, as with any classic it is sold as-is. I have owned this car for 3 years and bought it right after it was restored, it is coming out of my personal collection and only reason for selling it is I just got a 1960 Corvette and want to finish it out. Once again you will not find a nicer Tri-Five Chevy for the money, good luck bidding and thanks for viewing.

2016 Chevy Colorado grabs Motor Trend Truck of the Year award

Tue, Nov 17 2015

It's not an easy feat to win Motor Trend Truck of the Year twice in a row, but the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado managed to do just that. Thanks to the introduction of the 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder diesel, the magazine decided to bring the pickup back to defend the title. In more good news for the Bowtie brand, the 2016 Camaro earned the magazine's Car of the Year award. The Colorado beat a tough group of finalists to earn the nod this year, including its GMC Canyon sibling. The Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra also made this year's list. The Nissan Titan XD and latest Toyota Tacoma rounded out the challengers. A model had to shine in six criteria to earn the title: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. Like it did with the Camaro, Motor Trend posted a story online that explained the rationale for picking the Colorado again. They praised the diesel profusely and lauded the whole platform as quite a capable hauler. This year's Motor Trend SUV of the Year honor went to the Volvo XC90. The Swedish 'ute had to win against an initial group of 16 candidates that the magazine eventually whittled down to finalists that consisted of the Honda Pilot, Lincoln MKX, the combined Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and GLE Coupe, and Nissan Murano. "Seven-passenger people movers aren't supposed to drive like this," senior features editor Jonny Lieberman said about the Volvo in the announcement of the champions. The Honda CR-V won last year. In the explanation online, the judges applauded the XC90's new modular platform, and they loved both the T6 twin-charged engine and T8 hybrid version. The SUV's key enamored the writers, too.

GM recalling 70k Chevy Malibus, Pontiac G6s over steering issue

Sun, Feb 15 2015

A problem with the power steering system in the Chevy Malibu and Pontiac G6 has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for an estimated 69,633 vehicles. The issue revolves around the electric power steering assist, which could suddenly fail and increase the risk of a crash, especially at low speeds where the power steering is most helpful. The recall affects 2006-2007 Chevy Malibu sedans and Malibu Maxx wagons (specifically those manufactured between April 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006), as well as the Pontiac G6 (which was offered as a sedan, coupe or convertible) from the same model years and manufactured from April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. Owners of the affected units can expect to hear from the manufacturer with instructions to bring in their vehicles to their local dealers to have the torque sensors in the power steering system replaced. RECALL Subject : Sudden Loss of Electric Power Steering , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: FEB 04, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V064000 Component(s): STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected: 69,633 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured April 1, 2006, to June 30, 2006, and 2006-2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving. CONSEQUENCE: If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14772. Note: This is an expansion of recall 14V-153 to cover additional vehicles built between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
