Up for auction is a 1957 Chevy 2 Door Hard Top Bel Air.  No engine or transmission.  I do have a 1957 motor 283, but it is not the original engine that came out in the car.  It is still together but would need completely gone through.  If the buyer wants the engine, I will include it with the car. 

My family has owned the car for close to 25 years where it has been kept inside a garage for the duration of this time.  The only thing that we ever did to the car was pulled the bumpers off with the intentions of having them re-chromed - but it never came to pass.  I re-installed them right before I pulled the car out of its resting place and cleaned it up for the pictures shown.

If you wanted to make a driver out of the car, it is in good enough shape.  You would just need to do a motor, transmission, brakes and fuel system.  If you are looking for a show car, this would be an awesome solid start for a complete restoration. 

You'll note from the pictures that this car has fuel injection badges on the front fenders.  That is how we purchased the car.  I can't confirm or deny that it came from the factory that way.

I know it is hard to buy from a picture, so I took a lot of different shots and also made a video.  In my opinion, the car has a pretty solid body - looks like the worst is the bottom quarter panel on the drivers side (right in front of the tire).  The passenger side door has also been scraped and dented.  You should be able to see in the pics that I pulled the seats and carpet out to get some photos of the floor pans so you can get a more clear picture of the condition that the car is in and then of course I reinstalled the carpet and seats as they were.  It will need driver and passenger side front floor pans.  The rear floor pans, trunk pan, and fire wall appear to be very solid.  The front floor pans would be okay if you are just fixing a driver.  It has one front and one rear body mount rusted out on the drivers side and has one rear body mount rusted out on passenger side which should be visible in pictures.   This car would be in rough shape by some peoples' standards, but a great start for others.  We obviously saw something in it to store it for 25 years.

If you would like to come by and look at the car or send an inspector, you are more than welcome.

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
