All Original 1957 Chevy Belair 2dr 283 Power Glide 87,000 Original Miles! on 2040-cars
Westmoreland, Kansas, United States
|
Up for sale is my 57 belair. I've had this car about 12 years and bought it because it used to be my grandpas. He was the second owner, and he sold it to a local guy that drove it an indeterminate period of time before retiring it. I hounded him about it for years until he finally sold it to me but I've finally come to the realization I'm not doing the car any justice to let it continue to set, so I'm hoping to find it a good home where it'll get the attention and tlc that a car of this caliber deserves. I'll describe condition best I can but check the pics, there are lots. The floor pans appear very solid. No apparent holes anywhere. Trunk floor has one spot rusted through, it's pictured. Spare tire we'll is solid. No rust in the deck lid. Bottom of doors look very solid too, just some surface rust. Small spots at the bottom corner of either fender. A couple floor stringers are rusty but inner and outer rockers appear very solid. as you're looking at the pics, the spot above the center of the left rear wheelwell isn't rust blisters as the pic makes it look, it's actually the remnants of some sort of insect nest. Other than the rh fender and quarter this car is all original paint. The quarter was repaired long ago, evidenced by the use of lead filler. The fender appears to be more of a 70s vintage repair, with plastic filler. No other bodywork or paint work has ever been done on this car. No amateur restorations or cobble jobs. Other than the two fender bender repairs this thing is untouched since it rolled off the line. Original trunk mat still there, also pictured in the trunk are some interior trim pieces, light lenses, the missing headlight bucket, trim ring and garnish, antenna base, one of the three original hubcaps still with the car, and some misc. if you see something missing in the pics, it is most likely in the trunk, this car is very complete. You're even looking at (what's left of) the original upholstery! All the windows roll up and down and wing vents crank out like they should. We had the engine running several years ago on a small bottle of fuel. Probably needs gone through but is usable and I believe it original to the car. I know my grandpa never replaced any driveline components and the guy I got it from said he never had any issues and he drove it years earlier to the spot it was sitting when I got it. Same story on the rest of the power train. Pictured are a couple old oil change stickers that support the mileage reading on the odometer. I've got a endorsed title for the car, issued in 1971. I've covered the name on the pic of it for privacy reasons. Also shown is a old photo of the car from when it belonged to grandpa. Feel free to message me with any questions. Absolutely no paypal. cash or certified funds only, and the car will not leave my possession until I am completely satisfied that funds have cleared. I can store the car if need be but it must be paid for within one week of auction end. It should go without saying but here it is anyways: you are not bidding on the opportunity to look at the car or come check it out and make your final decision, if you are high bidder you are the new owner. Check with the wife and bank BEFORE bidding. car sold as is, where is. i have described it to the best of my ability/knowledge, no warranty or guarantees expressed or implied. any potential bidders are more than welcome to come check out the car in person at any time. Thanks for looking.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette
Mon, 04 Feb 2013If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
