THIS IS A 1957 CHEVY 210 WITH ALL THE BEL AIR BADGES AND EMBLEMS. I BELIEVE THE CAR TO BE AN ORIGINAL STRAIGHT 6CYL WITH A 3 ON THE TREE WITH THE ORIGINAL COLOR BEING SAGE GREEN. NOW THE CAR IS A 350 SMALL BLOCK CHEVY WITH A 4SPD MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE CAR RUNS GREAT! I DRIVE THIS CAR ALMOST EVERY DAY (NO JOKE) UNLESS THE WEATHER DOES NOT COOPERATE. THE CLUTCH WILL SLIP IF YOU HAMMER ON THE CAR BUT DRIVING AROUND TOWN IT IS FINE. I HAVE DRIVEN IT LIKE THIS FOR A LONG TIME AND IT STILL DRIVES FINE SO THATS WHY I HAVENT REPLACED IT. IT SHIFTS THROUGH THE GEARS LIKE BUTTER. ALSO THE SPEEDOMETER CABLE RECENTLY BROKE. THE INSIDE OF THE CAR I WOULD RATE A SOLID 8-9 OUT OF 10 AND THE OUTSIDE I WOULD RATE ABOUT A 6. IT IS WHAT I WOULD CALL DRIVER QUALITY PAINT. FROM 5-10 FEET AWAY THE CAR LOOKS AMAZING BUT UP CLOSE IT HAS SEVERAL SMALL BLEMISHES. ALL THE CHROME IS THERE BUT ON THE BUMPERS THE CHROME IS PITTED. IT LOOKS OK BUT TO REALLY MAKE THIS CAR POP IT NEEDS TO HAVE THE BUMPERS RECHROMED AND THE PAINT NEEDS TO BE BUFFED AND WAXED. IT IS NOT IN MY HONEST OPINION IN NEED OF PAINT. REALLY THE ONLY BAD SPOTS IN THE PAINT ARE A COUPLE RUST SPOTS DOWN IN FRONT OF THE REAR WHEEL ON THE DRIVER SIDE QUARTER PANEL AND ANOTHER ONE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER FENDER DOWN RIGHT BEHIND THE WHEEL. BOTH OF THEM ARE 3-4 INCHES IN DIAMETER. ITS NOT RUSTED THROUGH IT IS JUST CAUSING THE PAINT TO BUBBLE SOME. IF IT WASNT FOR THAT I WOULD RATE THE PAINT CONDITION A SOLID 8. I HAVE AN ESTIMATE TO FIX BOTH SPOTS FOR $500 AND I WILL DO THAT FOR THE BUYER FOR AN ADDITIONAL $500 OVER THE FINAL PRICE OF THE AUCTION CLOSE. THE PAINT IS 8 YEARS OLD BUT IT IS STILL SHINY AND I CAN SEE MY REFLECTION IN IT. THIS CAR FIRES RIGHT UP, NO NEED TO PUMP THE GAS OR PULL THE CHOKE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, JUST BLIP THE KEY AND GO. THE CAR DOES HAVE LONG TUBE HEADERS, AN EDELBROCK INTAKE AND A HOLLEY CARB. THE 4SPD HAS A HURST SHIFTER. THE FLOORS OF THE CAR SEEM SOLID AND THE TRUNK PAN LOOKS GREAT. THE SPOT THAT YOU SEE IN THE PIC IS ACTUALLY JUST HOLES WHERE THE BRACKET FOR THE TIRE WAS. HERE IS A LIST OF ALL THE THINGS THAT I KNOW OF THAT ARE IN NEED OF ATTENTION ON THIS CAR: -THE 2 RUST SPOTS MENTIONED IN THE AD AND BUFF -CHROME ON THE BUMPERS/TRIM NEEDS TO BE REDONE -NEEDS NEW SPARE TIRE -CLUTCH -SPEEDOMETER CABLE ALL IN ALL THIS IS A FUN CAR TO TAKE OUT AND ENJOY WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. IT GETS LOADS OF ATTENTION AND IT WILL BRING BACK MEMORIES FROM OLD TIMES. I AM NEW TO EBAY SO YOU WILL SEE THAT I DONT HAVE MUCH FEEDBACK BUT I ASSURE YOU THAT THIS CAR IS EXACTLY AS I AM DESCRIBING IT TO BE.
