Description:

1957 Chevy Belair
Overseas buyers welcome!!
But please be able to speak and write fluent English.

I will describe the car to the best of my ability. Please see my seller feedback. It’s impeccable. What we have here is a very solid, running, driving 57 Chevy that needs some light cosmetic restoration. If you have any questions please call 443-496-0701.
The Body –
The body is in good shape. There appears to be very little bondo. The floors and frame work are in great shape. There are scratches, dings, and some bubbling in various locations all over the car. The pictures look better then the car. I tried to capture some of the worst of the flaws.
Door jambs, door lips are all solid. The trunk pan has been patched up across the decades. There is some rust at the very back of the trunk pan. It will need a trunk pan installed at some point.
The paint shines, but is chipped and faded in various places. If you are able to wet sand and know how to buff, you might salvage it.
The wheel wells are in great shape.
No rust in the engine bay.
The glass is driver quality and usuable. I think one side window has some scratches.
The trim- I’d say half of it could be reused. Some of it is dinged up or has sander marks in it.
The bumpers are driver quality. Faded but no rust. The front has a new hood trim and side trim which are not installed yet.
Belair emblem in the back is missing and the other is corroded.
The passenger side exterior door handle is off the car but inside the car. I believe the linkage became unhooked.
The Suspension-
The suspension has been gone through at some point. The car doesn’t drift or pull. The car stops on a dime.
Old 80’s style traction bars
Tires are older with plenty of tread. One has a slow leak.
The rims shine, but have some light rust and some pitting. The black insets could be painted and used as a driver.
The interior-
The front drivers seat is in good shape. The passenger seat has rips. The seats were swapped left to right at some point. The tilt lever is on the inside of the seat back. I believe they are not original and do not know what they came out of.
Headliner is in great shape. Back seat in great shape. Carpet is in decent shape
The door panels are not original. They look ok, but they are too padded and the handle for the vent windows have a jury rigged sleeve so you can crank them. The rear window regulators are covered with the padded side panels. No window crank exposed. Easy fix. Install correct side panel and a window knob.
The dash top was painted and it peeled up. You can scratch it up with your finger nail. I’d sand it off lightly and repaint.
There are some ragged wires hanging down near the e-brake, but pretty sure all the lights work.
The drive train –
I was told the motor was a 350. The code on it is 135732430 up front on below the passenger head. It runs great. Starts up the first time everytime
No leaks or smoke. I believe the car has a bit of a cam in it and does have headers.
The clutch feels good and grabs. The car is a strong runner.
-Unsure of the rear.
This is a strong candidate to do a driving restoration. If you like a 57 Chevy, this could be the one within your financial reach.
