1957 Chevrolet Bel Air

-Rat Rod / Daily Driver

* Most important reason for selling*  Need to sell quick to help pay for an overseas cancer treatment ($17,000) for my aunt with stage 4 breast cancer.  Her appointment is August 7th. Only has a 1 month or 2 to live :(

On to the Bel Air:
  Newly rebuilt Chevy 305,  sounds good, short cherry bomb exhaust, 4 door, but the 2 rear doors are shaved smooth but they do open and close,  has older flat black paint from previous owner.  There is no on-going rust.  All rust was stopped and repaired by him.  The steel body had previous rust, but was replaced with fiberglass and bondo.  (mostly where the backseat is, and a tiny bit round the bottom front doors and driver floor pan.   The car has a new 700R transmission put it right before I bought it and rebuilt axles.  The car has been lowered and has updated suspension.  I put in a new  gas tank, but when you top it off, it splashes out somewhere in the neck but doesn't leak.  Front window is cracked, and one side window.  No engine leaks NONE!  No leaks in the driveway!, car runs great. Very reliable. I would drive it to another state!  Its very solid!  I work in the Gulf of Mexico in the oil and gas industry 8 months a year, so the car sits in the car port most of the time.   Everytime I come home, it fires right up and I drive it to shows and cruise the beach.  Tires are so so , you could go another year or two on the them.  Lights, blinkers, turn signals, windows, door handles all work.
This car attracts attention and gets thumbs up where ever you go.
This car doesn't have any options except fog lights and oooga horn.
The temp gauge  and tachometer gauge works, and the fuel gauge is kind of half off. but the other gauges do not work.

If you want to remember the old days and hop in and cruise, and maybe you would like a car that you can still drive while you work on it, then this car is for you.

I bought it the way you see it 2 years ago.  I wanted something fun to drive and cruise in.  My friends all have old cars like this.
I'm trying to tell you everything now, because I will be at work, and my father will have to take care of the sale for me while I'm out here in the Gulf.

No reserve, I have a few people interested in the car now, but some haven't come to view it.  I have the right to end the auction early due to a local sale.
Shipping: I would help get the car shipped on your dime.  The car is drivable and I would trust it to get me anywhere in the state. 
$500 Non-Refundable deposit due 24 hours after aucton ending.  The remainder must be paid in full before 7 days, or before or day you pick up the car.  I do except cash,  paypal (after it clears into bank). The title will be given to you after the money clears.
