Vehicle Description
When it comes to pro touring builds that blend vintage style with
modern performance, few builds can match the craftsmanship and
execution of this 1957 Chevrolet 150 Handyman wagon. The product of
a recent five-year, frame-off, rotisserie restoration, this
two-door Handyman has been comprehensively reworked into an
award-worthy pro touring masterpiece. With just 1,246 miles since
completion, it artfully merges the honest workman roots of Chevy's
basic 150 series with the potent 510-horsepower LS2 V8 power and
show-stopping luxury amenities demanded by today's discerning
collectors. This over-the-top build absolutely nails the pro
touring trifecta of jaw-dropping style, massive performance, and
modern comfort and amenities.
After a recent five-year, frame-off, rotisserie restoration, this
two-door 1957 Chevrolet 150 Handyman Wagon emerged impressively
customized and has only traversed 1,246 miles since. The engine bay
features smoothed, polished and color-matched surfaces and serves
as a fitting home for the well-dressed, fuel-injected, and
blueprinted 6.2L/510 HP LS2 V-8 engine.
•Blueprinted 6.2L LS2 fuel-injected V-8 engine rated at 510 HP and
480 ft-lb of torque
•10.9:1 compression ratio with a 101.6 x 92mm bore and stroke
•Aluminum block with cast aluminum cylinder heads and forged
connecting rods
•Custom billet aluminum chromed intake manifold
Backed by a 4L65E automatic transmission with frame-mounted
auxiliary coolers, the aluminum engine block features a 101.6mm by
92mm bore and stroke and is topped by cast aluminum cylinder heads
and a custom billet aluminum chromed intake manifold. Inside,
forged connecting rods conspire with all the magic to produce a
whopping 480 lb-ft of torque. A stainless-steel, ceramic-coated
exhaust system allows it to breathe with an authoritative note and
a look that blends all too well.
Upgraded with an Earle Williams Classic Chassis Works performance
suspension with a 4-link rear, the Chevrolet is fitted with 4-wheel
Wilwood power disc brakes and a 9-inch rear end. Finished in
two-tone Torch Red and Lexus White Pearl, the Handyman is fitted
with beautiful new front and rear bumpers, a brilliant chrome
grille, and the proper straight chrome trim and tri-five Chevy
detailing as expected.
The Lexus-based interior is customized as well with:
•Red leather interior
•Power seats
•Power windows
•Custom center console
•Classic Instruments gauges
•Daytona weave carpeting
•Interior leather trim details
•Updated air conditioning
•Power steering
•Upgraded JBL multi-speaker audio system
When it came to the basics, Chevrolet's 150 lineup was as
entry-level as entry-level could be. The Handyman Wagon was that
gold standard in service transportation with minimal chrome and
creature comforts, but it had a commodious interior that provided
space for various tools and materials to get pretty much any job
done. A tried and true work vehicle, very few survived, making this
customized pro touring example all the more special.
Don't miss your chance to own this incredible 1957 Handyman pro
touring wagon! With its 510hp LS2 V8, premium luxury amenities, and
incredible craftsmanship from its 5-year restoration, it's a true
prize. Call today to make it yours!
