DESCRIPTION

Line up ten 57 Chevys and this one will stand out! It is beautiful. I sold this car in 2005 with a fresh restoration, we acquired it back from his estate 2 years ago. I sold it again and that owner loved it. He only traded it in to get a Nova that would fit in his garage easier. There are only 4,560 miles on the car since the custom build. It has been garage kept and maintained very well.

EXTERIOR: Gorgeous! The color and stance are perfect. The body is straight as a rifle barrel. No rust, damage or body work showing that I could find. The Brandywine paint has tiny metal flake that comes alive in the sun. It\'s polished like glass. All the chrome and trim was replaced or restored. The windshield and side glass was replaced with smoked glass. 15 inch polished Billet Specialty wheels with BFG tires, fatter in back. The paint was recently ceramic coated.

INTERIOR: Very sharp looking inside too. Professional custom job from floor to ceiling. The door panels, seats and headliner were sculpted and upholstered to match. Power bucket seats in front. The door panels have Bel Air trim cleverly incorporated. The metal trim is either chromed or painted. The dash has custom billet trim, white face gauges and clock. The climate controls look authentic but are upgraded with electric levers. Polished tilt column has a custom wheel. The console has a stereo which feeds 4 hidden speakers. It also has sharp looking a/c vents that also deliver to the rear passengers. B&M ratchet shifter, the interior lights work. Billet handles and pedals. The carpet and matching mats have bound edges.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Corvette LT1 fuel injected 350. It has aluminum heads, valve covers, and intake. Coated headers on each side. Polished brackets, a/c compressor and alternator. A giant radiator with 2 electric fans keeps it cool. Modern power steering with remote reservoir. Power brakes with dual reservoir. Custom smooth firewall is painted glossy.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Completely boxed and upholstered including under the trunk lid. It matches the interior.

UNDERSIDE: Upgraded front clip, looks like a Heidts. It has tubular control arms, coilover adjustable gas shocks, rack and pinion steering. Four link in back with tubular control arms and coilover gas adjustable shocks. Upgraded brake system has disc at all 4 wheels. Great sounding dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers and flared chrome tips. New custom fuel tank and fuel pump. Bottom of the motor is still clean, has a high torque starter. Upgraded 700R-4 overdrive automatic. The floors, braces, rockers all appear to be rock solid.

This 57 stands out from the others. Whoever built it did a fantastic job picking colors and trim. In and out it\'s beautiful. Sure, I could look at it all day, but the real pleasure is getting behind the wheel and going for a cruise. Prepare to be complimented..........a lot!

SERVICE: We inspected and serviced the car. The fuel tank was recently replaced, we replaced the fuel pump and filter. We also replaced the exhaust manifolf gasket and had the front end aligned.

I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car\'s condition in detail. **These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car make an appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded and you will be given a 1 year membership.
