1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2Dr. Hardtop I am proud to list this 57 Bel Air 2 Dr. Hardtop. This Bel Air was born a V-8 (VC vin #) and retains the original 283 Cid engine with the power pack option. The carb has been updated to a new Carter AFB competition series with electric choke, & dual exhaust. It has period corvette valve covers, factory power steering and after market air conditioning & heat unit. It has an automatic turbo 350 transmission and the original rear end.It has a Custom Audio radio that fits in the original dash opening that is am/fm, cd, and mp3 compatible, with a Custom Audio 10 disc changer in the trunk, & the stereo sounds great.It comes with custom audio manuals for both the radio and 10 disc changer. This is a wonderful driving and running Bel Air. The cowl tag shows the paint code 816D (Colonial Cream), interior code 675 (Black & Yellow) has high end custom interior installed now with a Glide 50/50 split bench seat.. I could keep going on and on but I think the pictures speak for there self. It has great curb appeal and you will want to show off how nice this one is. It has held up extremely well over the past 6-7 years. You can tell it was well maintained and was restored properly with good workmanship and materials. I have invoices from 1996 that the previous owner supplied with the sale of the car. It went through a restoration in Utah in 1996 with a cost of $27,196.82 for paint, body, & mechanical, and $9,056.91 for the custom interior & trunk compartment. This is a total of $36,253.00 that was spent bringing her back to a very nice restored vehicle. The invoices are very detailed and will go with the car. The floor pans, trunk pan, and body braces appear to have never been replaced or spliced in. The quarter panels and lower fenders have no splice lines or signs of replacement, and there is nothing in the detailed invoices about any floor pan or trunk repair. The body work is very straight, panel fit & gaps are nice, and the base coat/clear coat finish has been color sanded and polished out to a high end finish. The glass, chrome & bright work, rubber seals,have all been replated or replaced. The wheels were sand blasted and repainted and has new wide white wall radial tires, and a brand new battery. The known defects are - Interior dome light does not turn off, (bulb is removed). The horn is hooked up but not operating. The windshield wiper motor is not operating, and a small ding on the left quarter panel upper stainless moulding, (small ding) The mileage shows 42,389, but is being sold as exempt on the mileage due to no verification of the original miles. It is being sold as is-where is with no written warranty. Please come and inspect and take it on a test drive. I welcome inspections, prefer they are done before the end of auction. I reserve the right to stop the auction at any time due to it is for sale locally too. I set my reserves at a resonable value, so please only bid if you are a serious buyer. Please don't waste everyones time. The car is located in Wentzville, Mo. 35 miles west of Saint Louis.
