The car had only 200 miles when the owner bought it for around $20,000 directly from GM in Detroit, MI. Other parts donated from the Corvette test car were the front and rear suspension, and new chrome Corvette wheels. Consequently, this 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air will be a very dependable driver and could be serviced mechanically at any GM Dealership. Complete custom chassis hand built to fit the ’06 Corvette Driveline.

Some of the interior design and layout work has been done. The interior is ready to begin interior trim panel fabrication. The interior floor and metal work is also all complete. The Story: The customer started this car with extreme passion and high hopes to turn this into a streetable, one-of-a-kind Pro-Touring 1957 Chevy to the likes that none have seen. About two years ago, he unfortunately went bankrupt and therefore has to sell his dream project. He does not foresee having the funds in the future to finish the car anytime soon. This is an unbelievable opportunity to make this Chevy your own dream car for probably LESS THAN HALF the cost. Most of the hard work has been done for you. The interior and body can still all be just the way you want it. The paint: red, black, blue, orange, green, or flamed… whatever you want!
