This is a great looking 57! The colors and features are great. It
has some nice upgrades that make it easy to drive too! Same owner
the last 16 years.
EXTERIOR: Sharp looking 2 door hardtop with tail fins! It is
straight and fits real nice. I think it's a clean, rust free body.
The Raven Black black is beautiful, smooth and glossy. It is an
older paint with minor imperfections. It's decked out with some
nice features. It has dual working spotlights with mirrors, fender
skirts, rocker moldings, exhaust tips and bumper guards. Overall
the chrome and trim shows well. It has some great looking custom
hubcaps on red rims and radial whitewalls.
INTERIOR: The metal has been repainted smooth glossy red. The dash
area is very good original. They've installed a modern stereo below
the dash, 6x9 speakers in back. The kick panels and carpet were
replaced. Reproduction upholstery and door panels. Nice original
headliner. It has an Ididit tilt column and a billet Specialties
custom wheel. Seat belts were added in front.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Smooth running 292 V8. It appears to be all
stock: the air cleaner, valve covers, manifolds etc. It has a two
barrel carb, the distributor looks new. It has some upgrades: a
Borgeson power steering, modern power brake with a dual reservoir
master and a modern electric wiper system. Overall the motor
compartment looks clean.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Inside is boxed and lined in red carpet. The
spare has never been used, it's on a red repainted rim. It's
complete with the jack assembly. It has a CD changer too. The
weather strip is Soft.
UNDERSIDE: The front end steering and suspension looks like it's
been completely rebuilt and has an upgraded sway bar. In back it
has air shocks and lowering blocks. The dual exhaust has classic
cherry bomb mufflers. The brakes have been upgraded with disc in
the front, the e-brake is hooked up. Looking up at the motor it's
clean. It has a Cruise-O-Matic transmission. The floors, rockers,
lower quarters all look to be rust free.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and recalibrated the speedometer,
replaced the door lock cylinders and installed new custom
hubcaps.
I think this is a great looking car with some nice features.
Overall it shows beautifully. I also believe it's always been a
good solid car. It will make its new owner very proud at the cruise
nights, stop lights and ice cream shops!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
**These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a
particular car make an appointment with a salesman to see that car.
Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded and you
will be given a 1 year membership.
