       I am offering my 1957 Chevy 210 2dr sedan project car for sale.  This is a restoration that I started and also collected a good amount of new parts for.  The car has a clean transferable NEW YORK registration in my name. (There are NO TITLES on NEW YORK CARS IN 1957, the regi is the LEGIT ownership. PAPERWORK CLEAR).

     This is what has been done.  The body was media blasted to the bare metal and put into epoxy prime.  What you see is what it is.  The passenger side has new sections welded into place as well the inner/outer rocker panel.  The car is still going to need metal work.  I have brand new front floor pans, brand new center hump for transmission as well as inner/outer rocker for driverside. The floor braces will need some attention.  The car DOES have the original floor in it for the most part but just like any typical 5-6-7 they have problem areas that need attention! Parts are very reasonable for these and this car is an easy fix, not a basket case. Chassis is great front to back.  Has original 3.56 ratio open rear (car was manual 3 speed 6 cylinder when new).

     I have purchased automatic brake pedal as well as brand new front tinted windshield, new sheet metal (as mentioned), front coil springs, 4 tubualr complete control arms (loaded), brand new green tint 6 piece side glass kit, se dan glass felt kit, brand new disc brake conversion kit, and new front splash pan.

      This translate to THOUSANDS in new parts.  My goal here was to go all modern RESTO MOD. The "BUY IT NOW" price includes the gold I purchased for it.  I have a 2007 Chevy SILVERADO 4.8l LS series V8 with matching 460LE automatic 4 speed transmission . COMPLETE with ALL and I do mean ALL accessories, wiring harness and computer.  This set up is worth $4000 plus on it's lonesome.  I have odometer statement from LATE MODEL Southern salvage yard that states it's original mileage at 73,xxx.  Engine/Trans looks as if it's day one from GM. THIS ONLY GOES WITH CAR FOR BUY IT NOW PRICE. DOES NOT GO WITH CAR JUST HITTING RESERVE.

        I have the original rear seat redone in black vinyl.  I also have an OLDS Cutlass interior in the car for the meantime . I was planning to use the more modern 60/40 G body seats and have made to match the rear. 

       There was going to be no expense spared the way I was going.  There ARE NO front fenders with this deal.  They were cut up for a flip nose and were tossed. There are no bumpers, the rear was missing the front was junk.  Each and every part is made new for these cars! IF you don't have the wallet for new there is plenty of good useable items that can be found on E Bay to make this complete.

       The steering column and box were tossed with the intention of rack and pinion steering.  I do have an 80's tilt GM column that goes and can retrofit. 90% of the side stainless I do have.  Missing a few pieces, again no big deal it's all made new and there is plenty of good used out there. I am including 4 steel 14" GM disc brake wheels as well as what is on the car. The car will be loaded with all brand new/used parts with great care. 

    YES, I do have the doors.  They were off to be redone.  They are very very nice.  NO HOLES in them.  Very clean bottoms as well.

     The only reason I stopped is because I have a ton of money in my NOVA that is near complete.  I have not touched this car in a year. I'm looking to pass it on at this point.  I want to see somebody else enjoy it.  In the event it DOES NOT sell I don't plan on relisting it.  I already have much invested plus my time.  Not thrilled bout letting it go but if the money is there it is going to go.

      I am in CONGERS, NY 10920. That is where the car will have to be towed from.  IF you aren't coming yourself keep in mind that you are responsible for all fees to transport this vehicle. I DO NOT live on a major road.  A HUGE CAR CARRIER CAN NOT go down my street.  I have a friend who has a home on a main road and is in the towing business.  It will be responsibility of owner to pay him his fees to tow car at his home and store.  If you are coming with a small rig or a trailer there is no issue.

        The car is priced in it's market value.  NO MATTER what it is "THE HOT ONE" a 57 Chevy.  That can't be taken from it.  Many may not know what to do or have forsight.  The vision I had was an easy $50-75k car when finished.  I've been in this my whole life and done many, sadly time becomes an issue.  These days I don't have the time.  Just looking to clear it out so somebody else can enjoy it.

 

  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF ANYTHING IS UNCLEAR.....

 

 

  I AM MAKING THIS CLEAR IN WRITING I HAVE NO TIME TO PLAY GAMES. THE PRICE YOU BID IS WHAT YOU PAY.  THE ONLY FORM OF PAYMENTS I ACCEPT ARE CASH, TRANSFER OR BANK CHECK.  NO I O US, NO CREDIT CARDS, NO PAY PAL!!!! (THAT IS ONLY FOR $500 deposit).  If you are one of those guys who is scared to do E bay transactions and have to ask your wife, this isn't for you.  I have purchased many cars off E bay and zero issues getting the people paid I purchased the cars from so the same should apply to the buyer of this car.   Thank you in advance.

Former Fisker CEO has some advice for Tesla Motors

Wed, Oct 22 2014

Former Fisker Automotive CEO and ex-Chevrolet Volt vehicle-line director Tony Posawatz has some words of caution for Tesla Motors. The long-time automaker executive questions the California automaker's long-term viability – and gives some praise – in a talk with Benzinga, which you can listen to below. While the all-wheel-drive D that Tesla unveiled earlier this month in Southern California wowed a packed crowd, Posawatz (starting at around minute 4:45 in the interview) says Tesla would've been better off taking the resources it expended toward that Model S upgrade and directed them towards speeding up the development of a more affordable plug-in. Perhaps a number of investors agreed, since the company's stock fell the day after the D was announced. Posawatz says Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of ZEV credits. Posawatz also says that Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of zero-emissions vehicle credits in California for its earnings and questions whether the automaker will ever work at a large enough scale to sufficiently drive down costs and make consistent profits. Tesla CEO Elon Musk would take issue with this characterization. Posawatz first made his mark in the plug-in vehicle world when he was the vehicle-line director at General Motors for the Volt extended-range plug-in from 2006 to 2012. Later that year, he joined extended-range plug-in maker Fisker Automotive as its CEO, though quit that job during the summer of 2013 as the company was descending into insolvency. He joined the Electrification Coalition this past March. News Source: Benzinga Green Chevrolet Fisker Tesla Electric PHEV Tony Posawatz

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506

Thu, 02 May 2013

With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
