One of the most beautiful '57 Chevys I've ever seen! The colors,
stance, and wheels are all to die for. Only 179 miles on the
odometer since a complete body off frame, rotisserie custom build.
The brand new chassis, 383 stroker, overdrive automatic
transmission and long list of mechanical upgrades will provide
optimal drivability. Plus, it has a stunning and comfortable full
custom Ultraleather interior. This one absolutely ticks all the
boxes!
EXTERIOR: What a color! It's what makes this '57 stand out from the
others. The paint is laid out with expert precision. It has a
smooth and slick finish that is so reflective, I could shave in it.
Looking down the side of the 100% laser straight body there is not
a ripple or wave in sight. All the panels are beautifully aligned
with gaps that are well above average. The doors close easily with
minimal effort. All of the trim and chrome sparkles like jewelry.
Gorgeous all chrome front end including the grill and bumper
bullets. The emblems on the hood were eliminated for a clean look.
The convertible top is upgraded to a rich dark blue canvas, with a
custom made boot that matches the top. All new smoked glass is a
really nice touch. It's sitting on new Billet Specialty wheels that
are 19" up front and 20" in back. They are wrapped in a new set of
performance tires.
INTERIOR: Sit down and get cozy! It has a soft and supple
Ultraleather custom interior with very comfortable bucket seats
front and back. The beautiful custom made, full length center
console looks totally amazing. It has a stereo system with speakers
and tweeters in the console, plus behind the back seat is a
subwoofer and two more speakers. The dash is painted as beautifully
as the car with the lower portion being reworked for a clean look.
It has new white face gauges by Classic Instruments that even
includes a mini tachometer. Upgraded chrome tilt column with a
billet wheel. It also has an upgraded wiper system that is
relocated under the dash. Plus, new sun visors and carpeting too.
Everything is crisp and fresh and in like new condition!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Bada bing! It's a powerful 383 stroker motor
making over 400hp and it's been fully adorned with polished parts.
Equipped with an Endurashine Edelbrock intake and a massive dual
feed Holley carburetor. It also has an upgraded HEI ignition and
headers. It's wearing a highly polished set of valve covers,
polished plug wire holders and a finned air cleaner with blue
details. Up front it looks great with a full March serpentine front
runner system including billet pulleys, serpentine belt, polished
alternator, modern power steering and a polished mini air
conditioning compressor. The power brake system is chromed. It runs
cool with an upgraded aluminum radiator, polished hose and custom
made shroud. The engine bay is magnificently painted to match the
car which has a custom firewall and radiator support also.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Pristine! The underside of the trunk lid, inside
and jamb are painted slick just like the body. There is a new
weatherstrip and a latch mechanism. There is a custom made and
upholstered rear panel. The floor has cut and bound carpet, under
the lid has upholstered inserts.
UNDERSIDE: Full rotisserie restoration! It's a thing of beauty and
function underneath this car! Upgraded with a new Progressive
Chassis smooth box frame that has tubular supports. Up front has a
rack and pinion steering system, chromed tubular control arms, and
adjustable coil over shocks by Ridetech. In back is a 4 link setup
with chrome tubular control arms and Ridetech coilover adjustable
shocks as well. It has an all new fuel system including the tank.
Upgraded with drilled and slotted disc brakes at all four wheels
plus with polished calipers. It also has a great sounding dual
exhaust system with stainless Flowmaster mufflers. Looking up at
the engine it has an extra capacity Milodon oil pan, chrome high
torque starter and chrome flywheel cover. The upgraded 700r4
overdrive automatic transmission and a rebuilt drive shaft leads
back to the beefy 9" rear end. The floors are all in pristine
condition and painted slick, looking just like the body.
Service: We ran this car through our shop and repaired the exhaust
tips, changed the pinion angle, repaired the vent windows, replaced
the front shocks, repaired the horn, repaired the turn signal,
repaired the a/c, repaired the carburetor, and changed the oil.
"Still in the wrapper" with only 179 miles since this fabulous full
custom build was completed. '34 Ford and '57 Chevy hot rods never
go out of style. This is one killer convertible that's gonna be
hard to top!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
