Recent Paint, Interior, and Windshield

Offered for sale is one of America's most desirable cars...the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air.  The Bel Air was the highest model, and this is the 2 door post model. As you can see in the photos, it's a good looking car.  The trim is intact, the body looks great, and the interior has been redone. It has been raining here for the past few days, so I put off taking pictures, but the forecast shows more rain, so I decided to go ahead and take them. The car is shiny when it's not wet.  It's paint is smooth, no visible rust or bubbles, and the glass is all good.  The windshield and rubber seal were replaced last week, so they're perfect.  I tried to get a picture from every angle so you can see how it all lines up.  It can be driven just like it is, and you can fly in and drive it home if you are the adventurous type.  The car starts easily, idles well, steers, shifts, and stops like it should.  It has a great sounding small block V-8 with dual exhaust.  Not loud, but sounds excellent. I don't know if it's a 283, 327, or 350. It could very well be the original engine...but  I don't know. It has a 3 speed automatic transmission, which replaced the factory Powerglide. 

The interior was replaced and looks good, as seen in the pictures.  The headliner, door panels, and carpet all look great.  It's a car you can buy and drive without having to do a lot of work to it.  It's a good 5-10 footer, but if you've tried to find cheap 57 Chevys, it's near impossible. I don't have access to a lift, so I can't get photos of the underneath.  The trunk, areas around the windshield and rear window, and the cowl and firewall all look solid.

The car is being listed to be sold.  Please, no games or dreamers. You either want the car and can pay for it, or you can't.  Let's not make this harder than it has to be.  If you want to see it first, please inspect BEFORE the auction ends.  You're bidding to win, not to set up a future date to look it over.  Serious buyers will know what to do.  I can add a Buy it Now if you want me to do that, or I can end the auction early for those who just can't wait.  I'll help any way that I can. I can send additional pictures if you send me your email address, and I can't get you in touch with the owner if there's anything you need to speak to him about.  I have a clean, clear title in hand that's ready to hand off to the new owner.  The car will not leave my possession until all funds have cleared.  If we agree on a price and I end the auction early, the payment should come quickly.  If you want to wait and see how the auction turns out, that's your call.  I don't think it will go the full 7 days, but time will tell.  These 57s are getting harder and harder to find. 

You can reach me at northshorebill@aol.com, or call/text me at 941-740-2277.  Texts and emails usually get a quicker response than calls.

The car is located in Port Charlotte...about 90 miles south of Tampa on Florida's Gulf Coast. I am about 10 miles off of I-75, so driving it home or shipping. It will be quick and painless to get on the road heading home.  Thanks for looking, and Happy Bidding !!!

 Just a quick update.  Two people felt the need to write and say the car is a 210, and not a Bel Air.  They say there is chrome missing, which is possible.   They say it should have more.  That's possible too.  When I wrote them back, I didn't get a reply.  I'm going by the VIN or serial number, if you prefer it to be called that. It starts with a "V".  That means it was a factory V-8 car.  6 cylinder cars started with an A, B, or C...not a V.  A= a 150 model, B= a 210 model, and C= a Bel Air.  This is a VC car, and shown on the serial number plate photo from inside the driver's door.  I didn't go by the chrome that is or isn't there...I went by the actual number of the car.  You decide for yourself.  I'm going with the facts that I can prove. 

REAL Bel Air, REAL V-8 CAR.

LOWERED RESERVE!!!  Don't miss out, it looks like the car will sell.  I can end the auction early for the right price.  If no one offers that price, the auction will go to the end and everyone can bid what they feel it's worth to them.  Good Luck
