1957 Bel Air Convertible<br />
<br />
This is a genuinely rare opportunity to acquire one of the most iconic and desirable classic cars. Probably the most desirable American 1950s car of all.<br />
<br />
This is a mostly complete running and driving car in need of full restoration or resto-rod.<br />
<br />
If you know what you are looking at then you will know that literally ALL parts are available for these off the shelf.<br />
<br />
If you are considering one of these cars then I think you need to look at either a done car which is $100,000 or more for a good one or a project like this. If you buy an OK ish example for $50,000 that is tired you might as well just buy this car and start it as a clean sheet doing it up as you would like it to be. If the work on this car is done to a high standard then it represents an economically viable restoration. Sadly that is not the case with very many other American classics.<br />
<br />
It will need structural work like new floors which is normal for a convertible tri five. It"s not a wreck though by any means but it will require a frame off restoration to do it justice.<br />
<br />
Price includes a new bumper which is missing and delivery anywhere in mainland UK. This is a rare three speed manual. The engine is a more recent small block 350 CI 5.7 Chevy V8. It runs off a can currently. It all wants ripping out for the restoration...<br />
<br />
I can help with shipping parts for free if you buy it. I also have a friend with a 57 convertible rat rod. He would like to buy some parts off this if you are going down the replacement route.<br />
<br />
Will be supplied with NOVA and Title.<br />
<br />
Part exchange MAY be possible but please be realistic. Reasonable offers invited. I have already turned down 20k but that was getting close... <br />
<br />
Is available now in the UK.<br />
