1957 CHEVROLET BEL AIR CONVERTIBLE PROJECT CAR. JUST RESCUED FROM A RESTORER WHO PLANNED ON DOING A TOTAL AND COMPLETE FRAME-OFF RESTORATION ON A SOLID SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BODY. AS THE PICTURES SHOW, THE BODY WAS REMOVED AND THE FRAME CLEANED AND PAINTED. THE FRONT CLIP WAS THE REMOVED FROM THE BODY AND THE WAS PREPPED, REPAIRED AND PAINTED/PRIMERED. A NEW FLOOR WAS INSTALLED FROM THE FIREWALL TO THE BACK INCLUDING THE TRUNK. THE BODY WAS THEN RE-ATTACHED TO THE FRAME. EVERY PANEL WAS GONE OVER TO ASSURE A SMOOTH SURFACE BEFORE APPLYING THE ORIGINAL TROPICAL METALLIC TURQUOISE PAINT WHICH HAS BEEN WET SANDED TO A BRILLIANT SHINE. FRONT DISC BRAKES AND A CUSTOM REAR DISC BRAKE FORD 9 INCH HEAVY DUTY REAR END WAS INSTALLED AS THE OWNERS PLANS MUST HAVE INCLUDED LOTS OF POWER UNDER THE HOOD. A POWER STEERING SETUP IS MOUNTED. ASSEMBLY THEN CAME TO A HALT DUE TO THE PREVIOUS OWNERS PERSONAL REASONS AND THIS IS WHERE THE PROJECT CAR REMAINS TODAY. THE CAR NEEDS: A DRIVE TRAIN, COOLING SYSTEM, A COMPLETE DASH TRIM (EXCEPT GAUGES) AND INTERIOR INCLUDING THE SEATS, A TOP FRAME AND CANVAS. WHAT IS INCLUDED: COMPLETE RECHROMED BUMPERS FRONT AND BACK, STAINLESS EXTERIOR TRIM, AIR DUCT ASSEMBLIES FOR UNDER THE HOOD, A NEW TOP MOTOR, A POLISHED ALUMINUM STEERING COLUMN, AND A SET OF 18 INCH BILLET WHEELS WITH PIRELLI PZERO TIRES MOUNTED. I'M SURE, A LOT OF SMALL MISCELLANEOUS PARTS WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE THIS TIMELESS CLASSIC IS READY FOR THE ROAD. A RUSTY BODIED/ FRAME 1957 CHEVY DONOR 2 DR. WOULD BE A GREAT SOURCE FOR THESE PARTS. ARE YOU UP TO THE CHALLENGE? WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT FATHER/SON PROJECT. NOTE: THIS CAR IS LISTED ELSEWHERE AND MAY TERMINATE THIS SALE AT ANY TIME. PLEASE CALL LARRY OR SCOTTY 866-403-7034 FOR MORE INFORMATION.
