***************RELISTED!!!! LOWER RESERVE & ADDED A FEW PICTURES INCLUDING A RECENT MAJOR INDOOR CAR SHOW!!! THIS RELISTING IS ONLY FOR 5 DAYS SO GOOD LUCK BIDDING!!! 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air mild custom with wild touches. "The Chevy Metal." Actual low mileage on original motor (this car was the Powerpack option). This car runs, drives, starts, stops. It is a DRIVER and therefore has normal wear & tear associated with an older car on the road (but very well cared for). This car is for cruising and is a head turner everywhere it goes!!! Has won several trophies including a trophy as recent as January 2010. The Chevy Metal is a blast to drive and has quite a legacy in itself, or if this is not your style consider it a SOLID car to customize to your own liking. I have several original matching pieces for this car available should you wish to go more stock with it. This car has been used for several high profile retro pin-up photo shoots, and is ready for you greasers or betties to cruise to the next hop! BUYER MUST FOLLOW PAYMENT DETAILS OUTLINED BELOW.
