Only 1,049 made total! 2,000 hours were spent restoring this car to
look like a piece of mechanical jewelry. Only 11 miles since
finished.
1957 saw a complete redesign resulting in this lower, sleaker car
with fins that sweep upwards. Referred to as "The most glamorous
car in a generation". 1957 also saw 2 major mechanical innovations:
Torsion Air ride and a 3-speed automatic transmission.
EXTERIOR: How can you top this? If this doesn't impress I don't
know what will! It is restored beyond factory specifications. The
body is literally laser straight, every square inch. There's zero
rust, zero damage. Repainted gorgeous Indian Turquoise is polished
like glass. Every piece of chrome and trim is restored to show
quality. All new glass with rechromed frames. Bright white power
top. We just installed brand new radial whitewalls and wire wheels.
The correct hubcaps in pristine shape are included too.
INTERIOR: Just as pristine as the exterior. It is restored to high
standards right done to the small details. A very unique feature is
the push button transmission where the neutral switch is the
starter button. The dash area is like art work: beautiful gauges
and gold knobs. It also features power windows and seat.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This is mechanical jewelry! Every single
component is refinished, polished, restored and detailed like brand
new. The heart of it is a 392 Hemi making 325 hp and 440 lbs of
torque! It has the raw fiberglass heater box, anodized power brake
booster, correct hose clamps and stickers. It even has the Mopar
washer fluid bag and a reproduction battery.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Inside this ginormous trunk is completely
restored. The turquoise is painted as slick as the exterior. It has
the complete liner kit including the carpeted floor and side
panels. The latches, stickers, weather strip look like new. The
white wall spare has never been used. The rim and jack are restored
like new and secured properly.
UNDERSIDE: This is one of the cleanest undercarriages we may have
ever had. The body was off the frame and literally every component
was restored and detailed. The chassis with stripped and painted
semi-gloss black. The floors are pristine, clean smooth metal
painted satin black. It has the correct dual exhaust system with
mufflers and resonators. The fuel system was completely replaced.
All the suspension and steering was rebuilt. The brake system was
restored, e-brake is hooked up. Bottom of the motor is spotless.
The Torqueflite 3-speed automatic trans looks like new. The
driveshaft and rear end were restored.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and tightened the power steering
belt, rebuilt the carburetor, changed the oil, resecured the visor,
rebuilt the fuel gauge, replaced the sending unit, lubed the window
track, installed new tires and wheels.
I deal with some incredibly nice cars and this one is among the
best you'll find anywhere in the world!
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.
