This '57 Chevy WILL NOT DISAPPOINT You. It's restoration was impeccably thought out, professionally restored and built, show-ready, and extremely driveable. I believe it would cost well over twice my Buy-It-Now price to duplicate this beauty. The car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to cancel this Ad at any time. IF YOU ARE NOT ABSOLUTELY SERIOUS ABOUT PURCHASING A CAR OF THIS CALIBER, PLEASE DO NOT HIT THE "BUY-IT-NOW" BUTTON. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS ACCESSIBLE TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE PURCHASE, PLEASE DO NOT HIT THE "BUY-IT-NOW" button. I invite any potential Buyer to come take a good look at this car before committing to"Buy-It-Now". This car is located in Prescott, Arizona, about 1/2 way between Phoenix and Flagstaff (2 hours to each by car). I will not accept any personal checks, cashier's checks, or money orders. A deposit of $500.00, via PayPal or cash will be due within 48 hours of purchase (close of auction). The full purchase price will be due within seven (7) days of purchase (close of auction). A Bank Wire deposit of funds is the preferred method of payment. If you bring that much cash, we will go to a local bank to very it's authenticity. Most of the large banks (B of A, BMO Harris, Chase, U.S. Bank, Washington Federal, and Wells Fargo) have local branches, as well as a number of other smaller and State Banks. If you bank at one of the banks represented locally, we can both go to that bank and arrange a Bank Wire deposit. We bank at one of the major banks. If we happen to bank at the same bank (we can discuss this), that makes it even easier as the funds can be immediately withdrawn from your account, and deposited in our account. Again, Thank You. Unfortunately we don't know who we can trust anymore, so I make no apologies for being very cautious. As I started out by saying, you WILL NOT be disappointed. She's as fabulous one foot away as she looks in these pictures. I loved this car the moment I saw it for sale. If this '57 sounds like what you are looking for, you like the subtle color schemes, I'm sure you will love the car as well. This beautiful '57 210 started life in the G.M. assembly plant in Oakland, CA., and I'm told that it has always lived in CA or AZ. A few years ago, it was completely disassembled (Frame Off- every last nut and bolt!), and professionally restored and rebuilt into the masterpiece that you see here. Every single item on this car was new, rebuilt, or completely stripped and refinished. NOTE: The speedo currently shows 826 miles, and I was told when I purchased the car that the speedo started at zero at the time of the restoration. The body was done on a rotisserie, professionally restored and painted in a glass-smooth, tutone paint scheme of Larkspur Blue & India White. I'm fairly certain Larkspur is correct. My research found that "Robin's Egg Blue" might be confused with Larkspur. Larkspur was the correct name in 1957, and this car looks like the original color. As seen in the pix, it is blue in the outdoor sunshine, and in my white-walled shop, under flourescent lights, appears slightly greenish). It is laser-straight, with no dings, dents, ripples or waves whatsoever. The matching underside is is as shiny and smooth as the car itself. The chassis was completely stripped and finished in semi-gloss black. I'm not sure if it's powder coated or painted. The frame is the one-piece high performance frame, built in California versus a two-piece, welded frame. All chrome and polished stainless trim pieces, as well as bumpers appear as new. The soft leather interior is finished in a beautiful tri-tone scheme of off-white, very light gray, and dove gray, with charcoal carpeting. New wiring and a Dakota Digital VHX-57C guage/speedo system were installed. Air temperature is provide via Vintage AC/heat system. There is no music system installed (who wants to hear anything but the deep-throated roar of the engine!). A G.M. Performance Parts Crate ZZ3 engine was installed (engine # V0520ZZ3). The specs as advertised are as follows: 350 cu. in.
