Vehicle Description
Sunnyside Chevrolet of Elyria, Ohio in conjunction with Greg's
Sports, Classic, & Muscle is proud to offer for sale this beautiful
1957 Chevrolet Belair Dual Quad Convertible.
Antique Auto Club of America 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.
