Vehicle Detail

1957 Chevy 2 Door Hardtop, Factory 210 Inline 6 cylinder Car. This car has been sitting dormant since the early 70s. The story goes that the gentleman bought this car in the early to mid 60s, and started to add his own personal touches to the car, and turned the car into a weekend play toy for himself. In 1969 the gentleman was drafted to fight in Vietnam and the car was given to his dad to drive but the car was changed to a 4 speed vertigate shifter and the dad didn't like it that much and parked the car. The car then sat till late 72 when the young gentleman came home from the war. The car hadn't been run for close to 3 years, and he played around with the car and got it running and drove it a little and then parked the car once more when he bought a newer car. They said that he simple one day choose to go get him a new car and parked it, because their was a load of his stuff still in the car, even his original appreciation paperwork from the army was still under the seat when it was drug out of the barn. In the mid 60s he upgraded the motor and trans to what was at the time a new 1966 model 327 and a 4 speed, adding headers and straight pipes and putting a vertigate shifter in the car. He also took the factory bench seat out and added buckets to the car, that appear to be out of a Chevelle or impala. The car's door panels and rear seat were recovered and different carpet was added at that time. The original aftermarket parts stickers are still in the window from where he added upgrades and played around with the car. The car is only showing 46K miles, and that is the correct color for the car, the Imperial Ivory, but the car came with Silver Vinyl with Black and Silver Pattern Cloth interior from the factory. All the trim and pieces that are not on the body appear to be inside the car, from the best that I can tell everything appears to be their for the car. This is a project car, and it does have rust in all the normal places for one of these. This will certainly make some a great car once finished with some pretty neat history to go along with it. The car is for sale locally and may be subject to be taken off if sold. The car is also sold as is with no warranty. A 25% deposit is due within 3 days of the auctions end and the balance within 7 more when the car is to be picked up or arrangements are made for the car to be shipped. If you have any questions about the car please fill free to ask and I will gladly answer them to the best of my ability. Thanks and God Bless Charlie 251-751-7530
