1957 Chevrolet Corvette Base Convertible 2-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
Bedford Hills, New York, United States
1957 CHEVROLET CORVETTE
Correct numbers, rare late production 283cid/283hp, fuel injection, four speed, positraction, Bloomington Gold and NCRS Certified
1957 was considered a magic year for the Corvette with new configuration options setting the stage for both track dominance and the icon status it enjoys today. First year for the "fuelie", first year for the 4-speed that was available starting in April and the first time a vehicle achieved one horsepower for one cubic inch of displacement via the 283cubic inch/283 horsepower EL engine option. What makes our offering it so collectible? First of its kind - our frame-up restored beauty has the newly available options of Rochester fuel injection combined with the 4-speed transmission only available on late '57 builds. A turning-point car - The 4-speed and hi-lift cam engine option producing the top power of all the road-going 57's. Less than 715 were built and while it became a favorite on the track - including a win at Sebring - the unintended result is that very few complete examples survive today. Last of its kind - Many consider the two headlamp Vettes to be the epitome of the early marque production models. In 1958 the quad headlight design appeared so this late model '57 with its classic design and performance transforming mechanicals make it the last and best of its kind. When considering a valuable classic; proof of pedigree is key. This code-correct late production model comes with the most trusted credentials in the land. After the restoration this vehicle received both Bloomington Gold and NCRS Top Flight certification. It has been driven very few miles since. This concours-ready '57, Arizona delivery example has all the attrbutes that make it a must for the serious Corvette collector. Unbelievable level of restoration, coveted Venetian red, hi-lift cam 283 hp engine, late production Rochester FI, original 4-speed transmission, positraction rear end, radio/AC delete option and trusted certification that confirm what the number codes on it represent. When comparing the value of this example to other 1957 Vettes; the value is self-evident to one who knows '57 Corvettes and what it takes to bring an original fuelie car up to this level of restoration. The more you know, the closer you look; the better you will like it. It can't be duplicated for the price we are asking. |

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut
Thu, 07 Mar 2013We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
