Senior First Prize Winner 2012. Antique Auto Club of America Senior
Grand National Winner 2014. End of description and enough said.
Just kidding, but really when you say AACA Grand National Winner
you've already said it all. This is not some classic car guy (me)
talking about the quality of this car it's the AACA. In a sea of 57
Chevrolet's available for sale these awards simply put this car
head and shoulders above all the others and make this car
INVESTMENT GRADE.Did we say Dual Quad- Oh yes and it's the 270
Horse Duntov High Lift Cam Dual Quad which is the highest
horsepower available without going to the troublesome Fuelie
engine. Zora Arkus-Duntov,is a name which brought performance to
Chevrolet in the 50's. Yes, he was the Corvette maven but his
performance skills spilled over into other models like this very
special 270 horse engine in this Belair. The 270 Horse Engine
required a three-speed manual transmission and that is of course
what is in this very correct car. Power steering makes this Tri-5 a
joy to drive and man does it make a great sound when you put your
foot into those dual quads....Finished in its correct livery of
Matador Red with Silver and Red interior (per the original trim
tag) the attention to detail on this car is amazing. The engine
compartment presents itself like jewelry. The paint, interior and
chrome in all areas is outstanding. You know how sometimes when you
look at a "complete restoration" that the devil is in the skipped
details? Not here. No old rubber left in place around wind wings
that were never removed or rechromed, no chrome that was undone
because it was "good enough". No gauges unrestored because they
were "good enough". You will simply not find those types of
shortcuts on this car. If you are looking for an area to be
critical of the underside has not been kept pristinely detailed and
the car has seen some use. We will be spending some time
re-detailing the underside for this cars next caretaker.Look at the
57 convertibles on the market at any given time and ask yourself a
couple of questions- do they have dual quads, are they completely,
correctly restored and finally, do they have a pedigree? This one
checks all the boxes and is a joy to behold. When you look at the
market we believe you will see this car represents an exceptional
value. Remember its not us saying it, it's the AACA. Invest in the
best and you will never be disappointed.Drive it, show it, keep it
in a bubble and polish it as a prized possession, the choice is
yours once you make it yours.We stand behind our thoughts on this
car by offering our travel expenses guarantee- come see the car and
if we have materially misrepresented its condition we will gladly
pay half of your travel expenses up to $500.00- this offer had been
in place since we sold our first classic and we haven't paid the
money yet.... We pride ourselves on having good cars and
representing them properly.Additional pictures and video are
