For Sale at Auction: 1957 Chevrolet 210 in Scottsdale, Arizona

The design of the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is pure 1950s - straight out of Harley Earl's GM styling department, and complete with gun-sight hood ornaments, extensive chrome and, of course, those fins. These cars were the cruisers of choice - stylish, fast and affordable. This Chevrolet 210 was custom ordered with performance in mind and features one of the most fabled powerplants of the era. To best the competition Chevrolet had a few aces up its sleeve for 1957, when the automaker released the Rochester-produced mechanical fuel-injection system its engineers had been secretly working on. Under the hood of this sedan is that legendary 283ci fuel-injected V8 engine that produces a solid 250hp. A recipient of a comprehensive full frame-off restoration in 1999, this Onyx Black 210 2-door post is in great condition and refurbished with all its factory components. The original engine was painstakingly rebuilt and believed to be one of the less than 1,000 passenger car Fuelies produced in 1957. The under-hood compartment has had every surface refinished and incorporates the famed Chevy Orange paint and distinctive insignia valve covers. The power is put to the pavement via the close-ratio column-shifted 3-speed manual transmission and BFGoodrich Silvertown blackwall tires adorned with factory steel wheels and poverty hubcaps. Inside the cabin is a bare-bones interior featuring two-tone silver and black upholstery and spacious bench seating. The factory black vinyl floor covering continues the no-nonsense theme, as well the fact that the car was ordered as a radio-delete model. From the Raser Collection.
