Up for sale is this 1957 Plymouth Belvedere 2 door hardtop. From what I can tell the car was originally optioned as followed: Desert Gold with Sand Dune White top and Sportone301 V8Dual ExhaustTorqueflite pushbutton automatic transmissionPower SteeringPower BrakesSolex GlassBumper WingsPadded Dash and sun visorsRadio w/ rear seat speakerThis car has been parked since the early 80s judging by the last sticker on the plate. The car does have both of her California black plates. Tires are just rollers. Has four original full wheel covers. The car's body is pretty solid. The paint has got it's "California Suntan" or "Patina" as others like to say. The passenger side quarter and rocker panel needs repair. The passenger side stone guard is in the trunk. The floors seem solid but the passenger front pan is weak. The trunk floor is solid but has some issues towards the rear of the car. (Note the photos.) The glass is intact and in good shape. The gaskets need attention. Car has all four bumper wings in nice shape. All the sportone stainless is there. As you can see the interior is pretty well worn out. The seat covers are pretty well gone. The door panels are there but have water damage. Card headliner has fallen in. The passenger side section is still intact and probably could be saved. Sun visors are in surprisingly good shape. There's another set in the trunk as well. An underdash A/C unit installed at some point. Everything is present except for a compressor and brackets. The keys are in the ignition. The engine is partially disassembled. A 2bbl intake will be included as well as a Torqueflite transmission, but are sold as buildable cores. Obviously you can't drive this car. It is a sure bet the brakes will need attention as well. The driveshaft, generator, radiator, etc. is in the trunk. (Again see the photos) This car is just like the 1957 Belvedere dug up in 2007 in Tulsa, OK. It fared much better sitting outside than in a time capsule. The car could be left as is and fixed up enough to be driven in this "ratty" condition or restored to her former glory. This would also make a good base for a Christine car. Most of the hard to find parts are there. If you know anything about 1957-1958 Plymouths then you know the value of the bumper wings, deluxe wheel, sportone, etc. The car does need a lot of work but she is a very desirable model. Maybe you want to walk around in a back brace and tell stories about the car?Maybe you want to drive around with the radio on and not a care in the world? Maybe you just want to park the car in your front yard and gaze upon this finned wonder everyday? Maybe you want to be the envy of all your neighbors? This car could do any of those and much more! You are the decider! Clear California title. Please review the description and all the photos. Then ask any questions.
