1957 Chevy Belair Wagon Heres a chance to buy a nice original Tri 5 Wagon thats been off the road here in AZ for many many years, just aching to be someones next project ! Sure its not a Nomad, but thats great because its more affordable AND easier to get the family In and Out of the car on cruze nights with 2 extra doors ! 1957 is still the best looking yr wagon GM built , until 59 :) THIS ONE with NO RESERVE OBVIOUSLY THIS CAR NEEDS A FULL RESTORATION FRONT TO REAR BUT I WILL TRY TO DETAIL OUT SOME INFO THAT CANT BE SEEN IN THE PICS BELOW. This car was owned by Copper Electric out of Bisbee AZ for as long as we can track it prior to us acquiring it a few weeks ago. Seeing the cars past has been in AZ probably its whole life, it is a low rust vehicle compared to most its age, but no one ever removed the plastic floormats over the yrs so the lower parts of the floorboards did get rust from the inside out mostly. It has some rust in a few other areas, but its still far much cleaner then most out there. The OTHER thing is the car appears to still be wearing whats left of its original paint on all the original sheetmetal. Looking all over the car I didnt see any signs of previous repairs or overspray or repaint. For alot of restorers and builders who know what they want, thats a big thing for them. LUCKILY Im pretty sure just about every part needed for this car is now available making restoration easier by just having to pick up the phone and order what you need. IF you look closely though, you will see there are alot of loose parts that are not shown ON the car but look to be INSIDE in various areas. SORRY for not prepping this car and at least trying to clean it out as much as possible prior to listing it, but under the circumstances this week I didnt have the time or facility to do so this week. Im going to try to clean it out by the weekend and itemize whats there and toss all the trash out if I can and update the pics by Monday nite. (so keep checking back for updates..) As for glass on this car, I think the only 2 PIECES NOT broke are 1 of the vent wing windows and the very back. Side Doors all open and close fine and dash looks to be uncut around the radio. OUR 100% feedback speaks for itself and many of our feedback are from about 15 cars we sold just this past year here on EBay. We put more time and effort into our ads making it much easier for the potential buyers to bid with confidence. NOT MANY OF THESE CARS WHERE MADE BACK IN THE DAY and we all know NOT MANY ARE EVEN LEFT ON THE ROAD ANYMORE. DRIVETRAIN: no motor or trans BUT at least this car was originally A V8 car with what I think may of been a 3 on the Tree. Build it anyway you want, and if you do it right youll never lose a dime on it when it comes to reselling it. REAREND looks to be original. Car rolls and steers making shipping a little easier. 3 tires hold air for a bit, 1 tire is beat. I can try to get it so all 4 tires hold air long enough for shipping still on the stock rims. INTERIOR: obviously needs a total restoration, but looks complete and all the main stuff there. Seats, dash, glove box etc. Some misc small stuff like handles are missing. Spare tire well is very dry and rust free too. EXTERIOR: body for the most part, really straight, but there is a dent by the LR 1/4, mild rust on the rockers. Hood is not currently bolted down. Some side trim is missing, but there are some loose pieces in the car. Front bumper and grill are missing. SUSPENSION: basically all stock and original and probably very worn out and ready for a nice Resto Mod restoration. Rear shocks almost look to be original haha. This car is not your typical 90% rust free Arizona car but it is a car that needs some rust repair and still better then one sitting near the coast or in the rust belt. These cars rarely even come up for sale in this condition, which is affordable to almost anyone wanting a project wagon. Check out ALL the pics below -----> it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra scroll bar on the right side. Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate. more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics. Heres a great chance to buy the RESTO MOD WAGON CANDIDATE youve been wanting.

We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows. This is NOT the most rust free car Ive sold but still better then most Ive seen for sale here on Ebay over the last month or so. Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating. People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers. Our auctions have NOTHING to hide .

Doing restoration on this type of project is less labor intensive which means overall cost is less too ! With less horrid surprises later on. Dont let auctions with little to no pics try to fool you.
