1957 Chevrolet Bel Air/150/210

Original unrestored 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 4-door Sedan for sale by private party
For past 25 years, this American classic has been stored inside a New Mexico garage awaiting restoration, but plans changed. I recently hired a local classic car shop to replace the fuel system. This Bel Air sedan now purrs like a kitten and can be driven, but will require new tires. Video of driveability available upon request.
This car was originally purchased in Denver, Colorado in 1957. During its early life, the car was subjected to some road salt in the winter, but has little rust. I purchased this car from the original owner's daughter and drove it during the 1980's and early 90's. Since then it has been in storage in Colorado and New Mexico. That's why it's in such nice shape.
This rare, well cared-for Bel Air would make an affordable restoration project for any '57 Chevy enthusiast!
What makes this car special:
  • 30k actual miles on the speedometer
  • 283 cu.in. V-8 engine with 4bbl carb and a Powerglide automatic transmission are original equipment

  • Salesman's business card is attached to the driver's side door jam
