You are looking at a one of a kind 1957 Chevy. It underwent a complete frame off rotisserie restoration. This car is amazing from front to back, top to bottom.
The base is a seamless California frame coated with POR15. Anything that even looked like it had a problem was replaced. Floors were replaced from trunk to the firewall. Single piece trunk and floor. Rockers replaced, tail pan replaced. Urethane body mounts and suspension bushings with coil over springs.
Mechanically the car has been completely redone with modern upgrades. The power train starts with a wonderfully running LT1 fuel injected motor partnered with a 460LE Computerized Transmission. Power disc brakes, rack and pinion steering, posi-trac(325 gears), Painless wiring harness for the motor as well as the car. Aluminum radiator, BeCool fan
The outside was given the same attention. All chrome and stainless was either replaced (from Dan Chuk) or rechromed, New glass, new Cragar S/S wheels, new Cooper Cobra tires. Car was painted the reborn Camaro Rally Green with Matrix Basecoat and top of the line clearcoat (MS-42); 3 coats of each over an epoxy primer. Even the bottom was painted to match as you can see in some of the restoration photos.
Interior is absolutely beautiful. Custom interior was designed to match the car, photos really tell the story here. Power seats, tilt steering, Vintage Air, custom dash and gauges.
I would encourage anyone to come see the car in person. The photos do not capture the metallic paint or the perfect sound of this car when it's running. So please come kick the tires if you can.
The car will come with the photos showing the restoration from start to finish. I put a few in the listing to hopefully capture beyond any doubt that this car was done correctly.
Thanks for looking, please ask if you would like additional photos or information.

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
