1957 Chevy Nomad. I have owned this car for 14 yrs. Originally an Arizona car. brought to Michigan. owned by a previous owner for 30 years who semi restored it in 1974-76. 283 4V with a power glide. Supposed to be a powerpack 283. Have the original 4 bbl manifold and Rochester carb. Now. Edlebrock carb. and manifold. First year for the 283. This is a 57 dated motor. The 1957 283's were unique in that they had no side motor mount pad cast into the side of the block. they mounted off of the front of the engine. This car was "restored" buy a fellow between 1974 and 1976. I have a series of 35 mm slides that came with the car showing it being painted and a fresh motor. The engine was rebuilt at that time and he turned the odometer back to zero. To date there has been only 10. 00 miles put on since 1976. I bought this car in Flint Michigan in 2003. and drove it home 500 miles. 9 hrs . 5 mph. with no trouble.   I have put on 5. 00 miles in 14 years. New dual exhaust put on in 2002 before I bought. Runs great and drives straight. The car was painted in 1976. as the slides show. and is starting to crack in places now. I believe it is lacquer. You can also see where a panel was painted at one time. top of L front fender and top of door in the past do to a scratch repair. and was not a perfect match. When I bought the car it was stone stock. This is a near rust free car. Solid floors. solid rockers. solid body mounts. The slides show there were a couple of places in the rear cargo area that were patched in 1976. the biggest being maybe 6" square. There is some body filler in the driver's door. some of the old lacquer paint had chipped off. I sanded it down and touched it up enough to keep the moisture out of it. . There are still traces of original red primer up under the drive shaft area. There is a spot of rust starting at the bottom of one of the fenders. I have $22. 00 in reciepts that I spent starting in 2003. I had the car professionally lowered. Poisey drop rear springs. Hiedts 2" drop spindles with new coils. ball joints. tie rod ends. and power disc brakes. new brake lines. New shocks.  Polished American mags with BF Goodrich radials give it a nice look. I have added a complete new Painless modern wiring harness. Griffin cross flow radiator/air cond. condenser. electric fans. Rain Gear intermitting wiper system. power windows. Alternator. Edlebrock carb and manifold. New lock cylinders and door handles.   Front and rear bumpers completely rechromed along with the front hood and grill trim including hood rockets. Rechromed front bumperettes. Complete new C. A. R. S. interior. I stripped the interior completely and replaced everything except the headliner which needed nothing. including all door and cargo panels and all garnish moldings repainted and new dash trim. Carpet in the cargo area is sun faded now. There is no power steering. This is a factory air conditioned car according to the firewall tag. So I re-plated the dash vents and heater control. which is special to a factory air car. I do not have any of the original air conditioning parts for the engine compartment. there is also no heater components either. Had intended to to put a Vintage Air system in. New seat foam and covers front and rear. New tinted door window glass with completely rebuilt & rechromed window vent assemblys. The exterior stainless trim is as good as it gets for an original. with only a few dimples in a couple of pieces. New door gaskets and seals including the cargo doors. New Halogen headlights assemblies. new LED taillight assemblies including housings. New gas tank. fuel lines and sender. Pertronix ignition. 15" 1956 Bel air steering wheel.   I do not have any of the original cargo compartment trim. I have all receipts. includes an assembly and service manual. The paint is 40 years old and has some issues. underside is in original condition not "restored" with the exception of the items I listed. There is a rock chip in the windshield. As with most Power glide transmissions. it does leak some.  Rear diff. is original and untouched by me. with the exception of new brakes pads and cylinders. Runs excellent and drives straight. Holds 40 psi oil pressure at hot idle. Clear title. I am located near Iron Mountain Michigan. or 100 miles due north of Green Bay. Wisconsin. $500 non refundable deposit due through PayPal immediately  after sale.

Balance in 10 days. Cash or money wire. NO CHECKS.
