UNMOLESTED 1957 Chevrolet 4 door post Bel Air - Original - GREAT BARN FIND

This 1957 Chevrolet 4 door post Bel Air, is now up for sale. It has been in the Garage most of the time since 1973
a Daily driver prior to that. Has been undriven and stored for 40 years. I bought this car due to the fact of how solid it is. 
This is a dry climate Bel Air and it shows. It is a total project and needs everything under the sun, but 
you've got a great base to start. 

It is originally a 283 V8 small block with three speed transmission on the column. (Three on the tree)
This is a Dallas Texas car originally sold at Vandergriff Chevrolet. 

The Mechanic's:
It does come with the original 283 motor that I pulled from the car. Needs rebuilding. Does not run. Comes with the car.
I have three speed transmission that I got with the car. It was already removed. 
The only damage to the car is before I got it, someone cut the floor for a floor shifter (in the tunnel)
and a small dent in right rear quarter, by the bumper, both are an easy repair, and a small scrape under the rear passenger
 door on the rocker molding. ( see pictures )
I did replace all ball joints in the front end as well as all the "A" frame bushings. This is the only work I have done.
I believe to have all the car except the radiator, Dome lens, one hub cap, and a headlight. ( this is all I can remember not having )

The Body:
Originally a Black painted car with a white painted top all patina is original. Also original Red and black interior. 
The carpet is gone. The original floors and trunk pan are intact throughout. Drivers Floor pan has worst corrosion.
(see Pictures with a bolt) Spare Tire sump in the trunk has rust ( see pictures ) the rust u see in the trunk corners
is not in the metal, just crumbs on top, easy vacuum clean.
The glass is also original and intact throughout. But Two windows are Cracked, Driver Passenger door, and Passenger Front door. Still
intact just cracked not shattered.
All of the glass rides on its window tracks. Roll up and down, Vent windows roll as well. The doors, hood and trunk line up straight. 

The title for the car is a small green title last transferred March of 1966.
These pictures were taken a couple weeks back when I pulled it from the barn to get more light for the pictures to take well,
and to get good pictures under the car as well as of the car. I did put it back in the barn. where it has been. 
Way to much to list, call if interested for more details.

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
