A SPECIAL CAR FOR THE SPECIAL PERSON THAT KNOWS WHAT HE IS BUYING.

The quality workmanship on this classic could never be duplicated for even close to the asking price. However. I do want to sell the car and will consider all reasonable monetary offers!

A meticulously crafted and perfectly preserved restoration of an original vehicle.

1957 CHEVROLET BEL AIR CONVERTIBLE 283. 270 HP. DUAL QUAD. HIGH-PERFORMANCE ENGINE WITH 3 SPEED CLOSE-RATIO STANDARD TRANSMISSION.

It appeared on the cover of "SUPER CHEVY" magazine. THE GORGEOUS "HARBOR BLUE" LACQUER PAINT MUST BE SEEN TO BE APPRECIATED!!! SMOOTH AS SILK. NO CRACKS. NO ORANGE PEEL. NO CHECKING. CORRECT MATCHING TWO-TONE BLUE INTERIOR. WONDERFUL CHROME AND STAINLESS.

A VINTAGE FACTORY MUSCLE CAR. This Dream Car originated as a straight rust-free Colorado car. It is a legitimate rotisserie FRAME-OFF RESTORATION that was completely disassembled and impeccably restored by famed 57 CHEVY EXPERT. CARL MITCHAM OF TEXAS. Mitcham primarily specialized in concourse restorations and this is one of his finest!

Later. this Chevy became part of the collection of WELL KNOWN MUSCLE CAR COLLECTOR. CARL DWIGGINS OF NORTH CAROLINA. Dwiggins had a stable of some of the most prestigious original and restored cars on earth!

I purchased the car from him in 1991 and have owned it 25 years. SINCE IT'S RESTORATION IN THE LATE 1980'S THE CAR HAS GONE A TOTAL OF ONLY 885 MILES AND LOOKS AS GOOD TODAY AS IT DID WHEN IT WAS FIRST RESTORED!. I have always stored the car in a climate-controlled garage under a car cover.

THIS CAR WAS FEATURED IN THE MAY. 1988 ISSUE OF "SUPER CHEVY" MAGAZINE AND APPEARED ON THE FRONT COVER!!!. CHECK OUT THE SCANS OF THE  PHOTOS AND TEXT FROM “SUPER CHEVY” MAGAZINE AS WELL AS HOW THE CAR LOOKS RIGHT NOW IN THE LATER PHOTOS.

A 30 year old restoration that looks almost like it was done yesterday. except for surface blemishes on parts of the 3 decade old exhaust system. the car is as beautiful as the day it was finished!

The convertible roof fits on the car perfectly. no wrinkles. pulls or bulges. Everything on the car works as it should. Including all external lights. dashboard lights. blinkers. wipers. radio. nbsp;heater. power top. gauges. speedometer. etc. . and of course the clock. which is currently disconnected to avoid drain on the battery.

This vehicle has an ACTUAL CORRECT 1957 283-270 Horsepower Motor w/ Solid Lifters. IT HAS THE PROPER IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS STAMPED INTO THE BLOCK IN 1957 BY CHEVROLET. Of course. it has an original metal "Bat-Wing" Air Cleaner. as well as properly date-coded/correct number Carbs. Dual-Point Distributor. Aluminum Intake. Heads w/ correct numbers/casting marks and so on. It also comes with the correct original Water Pump. Gas Pump. Pulleys. Oil Pan. Linkage. etc. Naturally. this car has a properly date-coded radiator. transmission. 3:55 ratio rear. and all NOS original shocks! (you know. the shocks with the swirls)

The car was restored using ALL ORIGINAL AND NOS PARTS.  The only exception being the current battery. as well as the side mirrors which were added later. There were no other reproduction parts used at all! In fact. not many 57 repro parts were even manufactured yet and available for sale at the time of this restoration!

Additional options include E-Z I glass. chrome rocker mouldings. wonderbar radio. deluxe heater. spinner hubcaps. etc. Standard steering and brakes compliment the package.

Highly detailed and correct all around. Engine compartment. Trunk. Frame. Undercarriage. etc.

THIS CAR PUTS TO SHAME MANY OF THOSE "DUAL QUAD" 57's YOU SEE SOLD AT SOME OF THE LARGER AUCTIONS WITH RE-STAMPED BLOCKS AND MIS-MATCHED NUMBERS!

This is the REAL DEAL!!!

A Correct Numbers Matching. Total Frame-Off Restoration with a Super-Straight Body that is All Metal. There is No Bondo. No Dings. No Waves. and of course. No Rust!

ALL BODY PANELS. DOORS. FENDERS. HOOD. TRUNK. ETC. LINE UP BEAUTIFULLY!

THIS CAR IS AN INVESTMENT QUALITY AUTOMOBILE THAT WAS DONE RIGHT AND WILL CONTINUE TO APPRECIATE IN VALUE!!!

Everything Totally Rebuilt and Restored.
