I've owned this 57 since 1995. Restoring it over the years, I never had the intention of selling. My desire was to have a turnkey beautiful classic. This was never a buy, paint & flip car. An original V8 Belair hardtop stick shift, the engine and transmission was already gone when I purchased the car and a 307 automatic was in its place. This classic was professionally painted with a professionally upgraded motor. Every piece of chrome was replaced including both bumpers. Every emblem was replaced including the dash trim. A new Chevrolet 350 was purchased from Summit and installed, not a rebuild. The cam was changed out to give it a little bit of a rough idle, headers, Edelbrock carburetor and Edelbrock engine accessories improved the engine compartment. The builder estimated the horsepower at 350, which was perfect as I wanted a driver not a rear tire shredder. A master cylinder from a corvette was installed to get the dual chamber brakes. The T350 was professionally rebuilt with a mild new torque converter. A new painless wiring harness was installed. The interior had been updated at some point with new seat and door covers. New front wheel bearings & brakes installed. I was going to install rack/pinion steering as well as change out the steering column and put in a 4 speed. The clutch pedal is still under the dash. When I changed out the column, I was going to replace the speedometer, as it quit working last year. Not actual mileage listed. It has had one oil change since the new engine- driven <750 miles. I have a brand new gold grill that will be included as well as some new not installed interior parts.

You will find cheaper ’57 Chevys out there, but for the asking price I don’t think you will find a better one. The car is not "finished" by my standards and it is not a perfect 99/100 point car, but its solid and a great buy for the money, Clear Ohio title -located in Trumbull County, Ohio Again, this is a cash or certified bank check deal, no money transfers and no iTunes gift cards- I don't care if you really are a Prince from Nigeria. As is where is with no guarantees implied or inferred. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB3Esb3HQuQ This car is listed locally, as well as on craigslist and Facebook buy/sell.
