1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop 283 Powerglide Restored Beautiful on 2040-cars

.

1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop with 283 V-8, Powerglide Automatic Transmission, Power Steering, and the most beautiful black paint you ever saw!

.

A tremendously beautiful car - that black paint is stunning, accented by the correct and authentic red interior.

.

My Favorite part of the '57 Chevy Styling is the rear quarter panel trim - so flashy, so Fifties, and on this car, so beautiful!

.

Arrow Straight bodywork too.

.

Beautiful grille emblem, and I love the Gold Anodyzed trim, just like it was when it left the factory.

.

Beautiful Chrome!

.

Wow! Look at that interior! Correct colors and fabrics, and a spectacular dashboard

.

Look how nice the doorjamb is, and the fresh weatherstripping.

.

Beautiful Dashboard

.

More beautiful Dashboard

.

Excellent door jamb right side.

.

The Brilliance of the Hardtop design, with no post to interfere with your view, is evident here.

.

Wow! Beautiful and correct.

283 V-8, nicely restored and finished like it would have been at the factory, with correct air cleaner and 4 barrel carburetor. I don't guarantee matching numbers, although the engine stamp ( T123F) is correct for a '57 283 with 2 barrel.

.

Nicely finished engine bay.

.

Pretty engine. I noted That, although the hood hinges were restored, the springs are a bit weak, and the hood needs an assist to stay open.

.

Clean!

.

Trim Tag.

.

Nice Clean and correct trunk area. The trunk pan sheetmetal is Solid and rust free, too.

.

Nicely finished trunk lid

.

Jack included

.

Also included are a nice pair of fenderskirts and a car cover

.

Here's the right side, showing off all that beautiful sheetmetal

.

OK now that we have a nice clean Epoxy Floor, I can get these photos without ruining my shirt! New Gas tank and exhaust system. It's fairly clean underneath, although it is quite obviously not a frame-off restoration effort, rather a high quality frame-on restoration.

.

Rockers and floors look nice, solid and original.

.

Here's the other side, looking good

.

The engine oil pan, aluminized exhaust, and steering apparatus

.

Although the trim is beautiful, I noted some flaws / dings in the stainless trim here and there, you can see an example in this photo on the lower stainless trim.

.

Again, beautiful trim but not perfect trim.

.

The chrome was all redone, but I noted a few scratches in the back bumper. Hard to see in the photo but they're there.

.

It's a spectacular car, with great colors, and an excellent driving experience. It runs and drives great, and can be enjoyed and admired by everyone right now!

THERE IS NO COOLING OFF PERIOD UNLESS YOU OBTAIN A CONTRACT CANCELLATION OPTION. California law does not provide for a "cooling off" period for vehicle lease or purchase contracts. Therefore, you cannot later cancel such a contract simply because you change your mind, decide the vehicle costs too much, or wish you had acquired a different vehicle. After you sign a motor vehicle purchase or lease contract, it may only be cancelled with the agreement of the seller or lessor or for legal cause, such as fraud. However, California law does require the seller to offer a 2 day contract cancellation option on used vehicles with a purchase price of less than $40,000, subject to certain statutory conditions. See the vehicle contract cancellation option agreement for details.
