Same owner the last 9 years. He spent a lot of money in 2014

upgraded brakes, added air conditioning and more. Only 3,000 miles
since.

tires and custom wheels. The chrome front and back looks new.
Stainless trim down the sides, around the roof, front and back
windows look new. Door handles and chrome side window frames show
some age. Older body and paint restoration that shows well. The
desirable hardtop has no pillar.
INTERIOR: It was reupholstered by previous owner. Recently it has
new carpet with sound and heat insulation. Shifter was moved to the
floor. The entire car was rewired. Dash area was restored. Has full
set of Dakota Digital gauges and clock. Retro stereo fits right in
the factory hole, has kick panel speakers. New heat and air
conditioning controls has original appearance. The metal dash is

steering wheel. Has seatbelts front and back. 3rd brake light and
turnsignals are mounted at top edge of back seat.

The 57 Chevy is probably the most iconic car ever. A 2 door Bel Air
hardtop is very desirable. This one has all the right stuff to make
it a fantastic driver. It is not a pristine show car but it still
looks great!
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.
