1957 Chevrolet Bel Air/150/210 Ivory/Turquse Description

This is a Unrestored very rare factory mfg and ordered Dual Four Barrel Carburators V8 283 set up. Two door hard top Chevy Bel Air and comes with its original sales receipt listing all its factory options The chevy also has the original factory installed beefed up gas lines . Turbo Power Glide automatic Transmission that I has been freshly rebuilt . This car was discovered just last year with this original 1957 sales receipt in its glove compartment . Since all these years the engine had been swapped out and was converted to a 2 barrel carb 3 speed.. When I bought the car I worked real hard looking for all the hard to find parts ..I located and purchased a correct code 283 1957 Engine in nice running conditio, ,Dual 4 Barrel Intake and a true pair of Dual 4 Barrel Carbs that are numbered on tags to prove they have been together originall, Automatic Steering column, Original Support ba, Automatic 1957 radiator Coded .. Original Rear Bumper replacement as the one on the car had been modified for trailer hitch.. Original grill bar with undamaged insignia ... Floor need complete molded floor pan replacement for the best restoration and well worth it with this one . This car is now ready for a frame off restoration .
Here is what I have done ..Located this rare 1957 Turbo Power Glide Transmission and had it rebuilt and not easy to have one rebuilt I can tell you ..Very hard to find the right person for this job but found them ..The entire transmission has been gone thru ..Also learned that these 57 Turbo Power Glide Transmissions did not hold up well when they came out and very rare to find still in the car and this one was later reworked in 1959 with a upgraded effort so it might last. Being when I originally bought this car it had a later 3 speed transmission the original Transmission linkage was not with it but will have it fabricated for the buyer with the use of another original linkage . I was told if restored properly this is a very rare car having the original paperwork documenting its factory dual four barrel carb set up and would be worth 100K after a top shelf frame off restoration was complete, , Feel free to discuss any details or questions .. I have another project that is taking more money than I had planned or I would hold out and finish this restoration project and still will if the right person doesnt see my offering . This would be a fun project with much reward in the end .. Feel free to discuss further any questions or details. Many extra parts also come with so complete ..
