235 CID 3 spd. manual with 2 spd overdrive, unrestored and original

The facts:

1957 Chevrolet. 210 sedan. 235 CID 6 cyl. engine. 5 SPEED TRANS! 3 speed manual with 2 speed overdrive in 2nd and 3rd gear. 52. 00 miles on odometer. The mileage is ORIGINAL. Radio delete with factory face plate. driver and passenger rear view mirrors.

The interesting:

This car is unrestored. Everything works including the cigaret lighter. dome light. dash lights. heater fan. glove box light. It has the original T3 headlights and windshield wipers. I have the ORIGINAL Briggs and Straton ignition key. Tires are original replacements. and yes. they are bias ply. Better start turning the steering wheel  ahead of time. I only replaced anything that was needed to make the car safe and road worthy.

These include:

heater hoses

rebuilt cylinder head

brake wheel cylinders and linings

leaf springs

gas tank and straps.

I have left everything else as original as I can. I have not “dressed. covered. hidden. repaired. detailed” anything that would detract from the original-ness of the car so you can see everything.

The caveat:

I was told this is original paint. (see history). I have had discussions with many different people including body shop painters that say it may be original. it may be repainted.  You make your own determination.  There is some patina in the hood and on top of the fenders. There are some scratches. I am still selling this car for this price. I can keep the car. If I keep it I will leave it exactly the way it is now.

The history:

This car was purchased in Brandon. Wisconsin. from the Miller Chevrolet dealership. by a man named Ornie Miller. (I don't know the spelling of either Miller. and there is no relation of Ornie to the dealership). He purchased it when he was 59 years old as a Sunday driver. hence the missing radio. He just wanted to relax.   I believe he served in the Civil Defence project as evidence of the decal in the passenger wing window. I've wanted to check the internet to see if his name comes up on any rosters.  

He sold the car to Mark Kholmann of Saint Cloud. Wisconsin in 1989. Mark drove the car on Sundays and to weekend shows. The car was stored for a long time. and I purchased it last year with 47. 00 miles on it. I have put over 5. 00 miles on it. I drove this car from Wisconsin to Florida in January. I drove 75 MPH and the car got 18. 3-18. 9 Miles to the Gallon! The car rode like a Cadillac!

The piea:

Please DO NOT email me with Dumb questions.  "what's the least you'll take?"  This is an auction. You give me your best price. Don't email me your opinions. or your observations. "but it's a six cylinder!". My phone number follows this plea. I would love it if we did this the old fashioned way and talked to each other like gentlemen. My long time experience has been that NO ONE has ever bought something from me communicating through email or text. They've always talked to me. Emails are relevant if they may pertain to info another buyer might benefit from . and I can post the response. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. Serious buyers ONLY. This car is an ORIGINAL UNRESTORED car and will only be like this once. This car is not for everyone. and I'm not giving it away. Thanks for your understanding.

If you would like more detail. please call.
