1957 two door - 210 post - This car was a an old hot rod cruiser/racer from back in the day and recently started to be converted to more of a driver friendly ride. All the suspension looks to be in great shape and the front end was rebuilt a few years back and then upgraded to drop spindles, power steering and front power disc brakes. The rear is an original 57 style and sale included a second 350 center section if you so choose to step it up a bit. The frame is solid and not tweaked or bent- it only has normal surface rust for a car of this age. The body panels,floors and frame are all original and in great shape - The car has had some small patch work on lower rear quarters and around rear bumper area and the floors are really nice with only a few tiny spots that are rusting through but overall very solid throughout the car. (see pictures for details) The wheels & tires are in good shape and are Craiger pro stars powder coated black.. The two tone silver & black paint is older with a few chips & scrapes and is not faded but more like satin finish- would make a good base for a clear paint job to save some money. The chrome and trim is awesome shape with some of the main pieces look to have been re-chromed recently. The interior was done a few years ago and is good shape with upgraded black & gray seats with no rips or damage to fabric. The engine & trans is a SBC and Turbo 350 which came out of previous owners other street rod in good working condition when he decided to go fuel injection. The engine has 4 Barrel carb & aluminum intake, gm serpentine belt setup, small alternator - the trans has a shift kit upgrade. The engine and trans are bolted in place and ready to be hooked to existing wiring and fuel system which both were in good working order before being taken apart. Note front fenders & bumper where bolted in place for transport and will need to be aligned- you will need misc parts to complete build such as a shifter as car was a manual trans and still has clutch pedal in place. All in all the car just needs basic stuff to get it running again and out cruising - so if your looking for an easy project that you can be out on the streets by summer this is a perfect car for you and if your looking for a base for a full resto this is a great start- don't hesitate because this hot rod will be gone! *please compare to this link- This is the normal condition of these cars on CL and what they look like and compare it to what you will be getting for your money - ://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/3715800089.html - ebay won't let me put the http so just ad it to the beginning of the link and paste into browser
