SELLING AT NO RESERVE!!!
$80,000 plus to build this 1957 Pro-Street Resto-Mod This is a BEAUTIFUL 1957 Chevrolet 210 2-door coupe Pro Street that has had a professional rotisserie frame off restoration. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING was restored to new condition! $80,000 was spent and it shows! This car has ZERO rust and does not have one thing that will give you trouble. It runs, drives, handles, and performs perfectly in every way. TURN KEY HOD ROD!! It sounds wickedly mean and draws attention from blocks away with the throaty exhaust that will intimidate anyone in any car! Everything works as it should except the speedo. Doors open and shut effortlessly. It has a beautiful paint job on a laser straight body, all new interior that shows no signs of wear, a under carriage that you can eat off of, and a completely rebuilt drive train from the motor to the Curry 9-inch rear end. The reinforced, professionally built frame was powdercoated before assembly. Nothing was left un-touched. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING was replaced new or rebuilt to new condition. The body was stripped to bare metal before painting so none of that Earl Schieb/One Day Paint bull here. After the paint was laid on it was color sanded and buffed to perfection! No orange peel to speak of! Paint is like a mirror! Turns all heads young and old where ever you go followed by dozens of thumbs up every day you drive it. Just PURE AWESOME!! Since this body off restoration was done approx. 5 year ago there is now signs of SLIGHT wear on the exterior only. A few chips in the paint here and there, some paint bubbling on the roof only, a few small chrome pieces need re-plating, and a one inch crack in the paint on the deck lid. I would put a very educated estimate to address these small issues at no more than $1000.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
