Vehicle Detail
Up for auction is my 57 Chevy Belair Sport Coupe. This car is best described as a Sunday driver. Lets begin with the body, All of the panels are rust free and straight with the exception of some minor bubbling in the paint in the lower front pass. door and the lower trunk, you would not notice if they were not pointed out. The body is solid as a rock! Paint is shiny and very presentable, has a few scratches but overall very nice. The frame floors, rockers, body supports and trunk are really nice there was some very minor patch work done some years ago but no complete panel replacement, the car did not require extensive repair.The chrome is very nice with the exception of the front bumper. The bumper is straight but the chrome is not good. The rear bumper, tail lights, headlight doors and front grille bar,have all been replaced and are in excellent condition.The stainless trim is all intact and although not perfect is very presentable. The interior was done at some point and is in very nice condition. It is black vinyl ,with old school diamond tuck and roll inserts, new door panels and carpets were installed as well.The heater controls and vent controls were recently restored and all is working well.All of the lights work as well as the speedometer and fuel,gauge. (The fuel gauge is inaccurate due to a dent in the fueltank, but it still works and runs out at one half. Tank does not leak.) There are gauges mounted under the dash for , battery, temp, and oil,pressure, and all operate as expected.All of the glass is good except for a crack in the passenger vent window, I have a replacement. Under the hood is a newer 350/300 crate motor, with polished aluminum intake new ebelbrock carb. HEI distributor. The engine has about 4000 miles on it. The transmission is a completely rebuilt Turbo350 with a mild shift kit and new torque converter.There are new stainless headers and new dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. ( This sounds awesome). This car is a blast to drive and is done mechanically. Looks awesome make it perfect or drive as is.I am selling the car with the wide whites and factory hubcaps. If you want the Billet Specialties wheels and BFG's add $1,500.00 to the final bid and I will include both sets. This vehicle is being sold AS IS, WHERE IS WITH NO WARRANTIES EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. I encourage bidders to come and see the vehicle or have it inspected by their representative.My feedback is and has always been 100 percent because I go put of my way to be as accurate with my descriptions as possible. I note the most minor flaws and there are no surprises when you get your vehicle. Transportation is the responsibility of the buyer but I will assist in storage to accommodate the sale.
