1957 Plymouth Belvedere 2 door hardtop

Christine's older sister?! I have yet to see a more rust free, complete, California owned '57 Plymouth 2dr ht project car. Got it through a friend in 1996. Hard to find in any condition even then, especially w all the parts and nice solid floors! Hate to sell my bad to the bone stock 60 year old Belvedere, but don't have time to deal w restoring her to original looking condition. She's originally a jade green (teal) and white w matching interior.
All side mouldings, tail fin and rear end trim, emblems, interior handles & window cranks, the whole dash, even a spare tire rim and wheel covers are all included. The only missing parts are the bottom portion of the rear seat, & the sheet metal panel below the rear bumper that runs the length of the space between the rear fenders. I believe any 57-59 Plymouth or Dodge, and possibly Chrysler and DeSoto panel would fit. The back seats are the same size on 2dr 1957-59 Plymouth & Dodge cars, and should be fairly easy to find. I started the V-8 engine and ran it 2 or 3 times per month until Dec 2010 when the battery died and I never replaced it. The engine sounded good and the push button automatic tranny functioned just fine at the time. The bumpers are straight and were rechromed 20 yrs ago, although not stored properly.
The front bumper on the car now is an extra one and is included free if you want it. I am told the drivers side door came from a '59 Plymouth. I do think it should be replaced with a better one, it's up to you. I did get a '57-'58 A-Pillar vent window assembly w glass and some extra pieces for use on the drivers door. I am including some excellent used and NOS parts I have obtained over the past 20 years. See photos.
I doubt you will ever see another '57 2dt ht this solid and complete for such a modest price. Don't regret 'the one that got away' a year or two from now! This is a good investment that you can enjoy while it only rises in value! Good luck and thanks for looking at my listing.
