1957 CHEVROLET BEL AIR SPORT COUPE UNRESTORED FUEL INJECTION SURVIVOR Please note that this is a private party sale! I have owned this unrestored, factory-original survivor fuel-injected sport coupe Bel Air (one of 1530 passenger factory-built fuelies) since December 1999. It is in excellent original mostly unmolested condition. This is a 283 c.i., 250 H.P. Turboglide numbers-matching car. It was assembled In Kansas City, Missouri in May 1957. It has been driven 62,000+ miles up to the present time. The engine has never been rebuilt (hence the original patina in the engine compartment) and runs great. It has a black exterior with a red/black interior. The paint is mostly factory-original and the interior is still in excellent, beautiful original condition. This is a rust-free automobile and as far as I know the car has never been hit - as you can see in some of the pics it is very straight (as we all know a black exterior is not very forgiving as it will highlight flaws such as imperfect body work, waves, wrinkles, etc.). It still has the original rubber trunk mat with the embossed encircled “57”. The fellow that I bought it from, because it had gravel chips in the rocker panel area (the 2nd owner’s house [in Nebraska] was next to a gravel road), had it repainted below the side trim. However, the majority of the paint is shiny original because the car has always been garaged. There are a few minor wear spots (mainly primer showing through the original paint) in several places as a result of constant waxing. Also, there are some gravel chips on the front part of the hood and there are minor scratches here and there. Overall, the exterior paint is in beautiful original condition. Under the hood there are several factory assembly line yellow chalk X’s (see pic) on the hood latch cover. What these X’s refer to is a puzzle but I have been told by several Chevrolet experts that these were most likely an alert to the assembly line workers that a fuel injection system was to be installed in this car. One photo of the chassis (floorboards are solid) shows one of the rear spiral shock absorbers. Another photo shows the engine suffix pad which is F418GF and this translates to Flint, April 18, Turboglide fuel injection. All of the fuel injection components are original to the car. As far as I know the Rochester 4520 fuel injection unit has never been rebuilt. It has always run well with minor tuning done every now and then. The 2nd owner, who bought it in late Fall 1957 (the first owner was a young man and for whatever reason his father made him return it to the dealership), told me when I first bought it that he was informed that this car was a factory demonstrator to promote the sales of fuel injection passenger cars and because of this they made sure that it had the best components installed to keep it running flawlessly. After the factory reps were done the car was sent to a dealership near Omaha, Nebraska where it was sold. I asked the 2nd owner if he had the original dealer paperwork for the car but it ended up getting lost or misplaced. I had him do a notarized “Certificate of Authenticity” for me regarding his history with the car. He had also written a note to the fellow that I had bought the car from detailing pretty much the same info. This car still has all of the original peripheral FI components: Vacuum wiper motor with the Electro-vac switch. Metal clip (on the firewall) to hold the electric choke “pig tail” wire/connector for the air meter.Air intake hose bracket that is attached to the driver-side radiator support (toward the bottom – see pic). Most of these original brackets ended up missing or tossed aside in about 99.9% of the original passenger car fuelies so this is an extremely rare, very hard-to-find item and very, very expensive if ever available. This item is definitely NOT a repro. Electro-vac (with the original Trico string tag) affixed by clutch head screws to the radiator support. Passenger-side exhaust manifold with no vacuum tube hole drilled like the ones for cars with carburetors. Original metal band to attach the air intake hose to the air cleaner. The 3/8-inch fuel line.Original air cleaner with after-market air hose. Original fuel filter.Original 906 distributor. It has a later model fuel pump but I have a correct long-screw fuel pump that goes with the car. Also, the 2nd owner took out the Turboglide many years ago and replaced it with an overdrive 3-speed manual trans. (the overdrive cable is disconnected and I don’t know if it ever was connected). However, he did keep the Turboglide and somehow it managed to go with the car from owner to owner. The Turboglide was recently rebuilt and will be included with all of its necessary components with the sale of the car. I succeeded in finding a fellow that rebuilds Turboglides in Oregon and between he and I managed to find many NOS parts. A fellow that I know that lives in Vancouver, BC, Canada and who owns a restored factory-built ’57 BA sport coupe fuelie is doing a ’57 Chevy fuel injection factory-built survivor passenger cars directory. He has spent a few years trying to locate the real ones and needless to say he has come across many phony clones. He said that he’s come up with approx. 35 factory survivor fuelies (out of 1530 built) in various conditions. He said that 3 of these are very nice unrestored originals - one BA sport coupe (this one) and two BA sport sedans. So as far as he knows, mine is the only very nice unrestored survivor BA FI sport coupe known in existence. Many times I have been asked by certain individuals as to why I don’t restore the car. I find it incredulous that anyone would ask that. My response to them is “If it ain’t broke why fix it?” Also, I tell them that this is an extremely rare car because of what it is and where are you going to find another one as nice as this unrestored original fuel-injected car? However, the ones that are “savvy” about fuelie cars appreciate the fact that it is, for all practical purposes, a very nice survivor with a nice patina. This is an excellent benchmark or reference car. Several years ago a fellow that lives near me was restoring his factory original BA fuelie sport coupe and he would come over from time to time to photograph, measure and take notes because his car was missing a lot of the FI items when he bought it many years ago. I was told at the place where I bought my car in Kansas that several individuals also used this car as a reference. Again, let me stress that this car is a factory-built fuel injected survivor, NOT one of the many phony clones that are prevalent in various car auctions, car shows and/or for sale at various venues from time to time. Quite a few years ago a fellow from California, who had a brother residing near where I lived, learned that I had an original fuelie. It turned out that he’s a respected authority on factory fuel-injected ‘57 Chevys. He contacted me because he wanted to see for himself if this really was a factory fuelie and not a clone. He spent several hours inspecting the car from top to bottom and he told me that this car was definitely the real thing! For anyone that is truly interested in this car I will provide contact information for this gentleman. I am open to reasonable offers (Please don’t waste my time or yours if you’re not serious about it!) I am definitely NOT interested in trades. The odds of finding an unrestored factory-original fuelie 1957 Chevrolet passenger car survivor such as this one is pretty much next to zero, especially one in this condition. So it is obviously an extremely rare car. I will include all paperwork and names that I have of previous owners of the car with the sale. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to email me. Also, if you are truly interested in buying this car you should try to view it in person or have a knowledgeable representative inspect it for you. PLEASE READ! This vehicle is sold as is, where is, with no warranty expressed or implied. A $1000 non-refundable deposit within 48 hours of close of auction either by PayPal or bank wire. The balance is payable ONLY by bank wire or cash if buyer lives nearby and must be paid within 7 days of close of auction. Vehicle and title/bill of sale will not be released until all funds have cleared. Bids from persons with zero, negative, or neutral feedback MUST contact me prior to bidding otherwise bids will be cancelled by me. ABSOLUTELY NO TRADES! Transportation of this vehicle is the responsibility of the winning bidder.

1955 Chevrolet Belair Hardtop I have owned this 1955 Chevrolet Belair hardtop since 1983. It was built at the Van Nuys, CA plant in May, 1955. Always a desert Arizona car, I purchased it in Douglas, AZ, a small town on the Mexican border. The original colors were turquoise and white, with a matching interior. Its original drivetrain was a 265ci V8 / 3speed manual transmission. Between 1992 and 1997, I performed a complete body-off-the-frame 1400+ hour rebuilt of the entire car. If you’re are truly interest in it, you will appreciate the detailed information that follows. If you’re just passing through, you’ll probably get bored and move on. Sorry to have wasted your time! J Upgrades made during the rebuilt include; 1995 GM ZZ3 350ci engine, turbo 350 automatic transmission, power steering, power front disc brakes, air conditioning, lowered front suspension and dual exhaust. The paint color is GM Medium Garnett Red Poly. The roof color is GM White Diamond Pearl. The interior paint color is Dark Slate. The paint is PPG Deltron Basecoat/Clearcoat. After completion in 1997, it was judged three times in 1000 point competition; 1997 Classic Chevy Int’l Convention, Reno, NV – 982 points & “Platinum Award” 1999 Bowtie Chevys Int’l Convention, Ventura, CA – 990 points & “Gold Award” 2002 Classic Chevy Western Nat’l Convention, San Diego, CA – 999 points & “Platinum Award” (High Point car, also awarded “Best of Show”) This classic has been a magazine feature car of both; Classic Chevy International (CCI) – January, 2003 Bowtie Chevys (BTC) – January, 2000 Since then, it has been maintained in show condition, driven locally and enclosed trailered longer distances. It has been driven less than 7800 miles since the restoration was completed in 1997! When I purchased the car, it had been built as a reliable driver for the owner’s wife. It was painted gypsy red and had a 1955 6cyl/powerglide combo. It was a solid, complete and well running driver. As a member of Desert Classic Chevys (Phoenix, AZ), I used the car for local events and car shows, including the 1985 CCI Western Regional in Flagstaff, AZ. After moving to Southern California, I used the car for events and activities with my local club; Classic Chevys of Southern California. After attending the 1991 CCI Western National Convention in San Diego, CA, the decision was made to completely rebuild the car. The build would be to my personal preferences, with a goal of testing it, and my work, against the CCI 1000 point judging sheet and the high level of quality displayed at the top points level. From the beginning, the entire restoration process was documented and cataloged. I followed Harold Louisiana’s book “How to Restore Your 57 Chevy” as a guide for the process. I kept a calendar on the wall and documented, each day, what I worked on/started/completed and how many hours I worked that day. The calendars, along with every receipt, are going to the new owner. I also have photo documentation of the entire rebuild. The body was completely hand stripped (including trunk, firewall, floorboard, etc.) to bare metal and the original undercoating was hand removed to reveal the rust-free metal underneath. The hood, trunk, doors and various interior pieces where chemically stripped to bare metal. The frame and all chassis components (rear end, springs, A-arms, steering, etc.) were also chemically stripped. There was no rot repair needed anywhere on the car! A few spots in the trunk, floorboard and over the headlights had minor surface rust. The passenger side rocker panel had an old accident repair, which was replaced with “best quality” reproduction sheet metal. The seams on the firewall were smoothed. When filler was needed in any area, “All-Metal” (a high-end filler that contains metal and works like lead) was used. The insides of the doors, trunk lid, fenders, rocker panels and rear window “lower” areas, along with the floorboard and trunk floor were coated with POR-15 rust-preventative sealant and primed for paint. The underside and firewall were sprayed with self-etching primer. The underside, firewall and trunk were painted with PPG acrylic enamel. The dash and misc. interior parts received the self-etching primer and were also painted with PPG acrylic enamel. The outer surfaces of the body, doors, fenders, hood and trunk were sprayed with self-etching primer and followed with multiple coats of primer-surfacer. Between coats, the panels were long-block sanded to a smooth, even surface. The roof was painted in a PPG 3-stage pearl basecoat/clearcoat urethane. The body was painted in a PPG basecoat/clearcoat urethane. The clearcoat was wet sanded down to 1600 grit and buffed to the final finish. (Note: I always thought the outside sunvisor was an awesome accessory, plus you rarely see the hardtop version. I stumbled across this NOS visor (still in the GM box) under the table of a toy vendor at the Pomona Auto Swap Meet. He didn’t know what he had, and I couldn’t pay him fast enough! Thus, I added it, plus the required dash traffic light viewer, to the build.) The engine is a new GM ZZ3 350cid/345hp crate motor, which uses all new components, including the block, aluminum heads, long water pump and an HEI distributor. I topped the engine with a new Holley 750cfm carburetor and GM “ram horn” exhaust manifolds. The transmission is a turbo 350 from Performance Automotive Warehouse (PAW) and is a heavy duty “RV” build with an 1100rpm stall converter. The dual exhaust system was built and installed by Thermal Research And Development Exhaust Systems. It is constructed of 2 1/2” aluminized metal, mandrel bent, and exits the back of the car similar to the style used on the Nomad. The power steering is a “605” unit, with the original steering column adapted to fit. The frame and chassis components were all powdercoated gloss black. Carrera gas shocks are used, along with new lowering front coil springs. The brakes are power disc (front), using a kit from CCI with all new parts. The rear gear is a rebuilt 3:31 unit from a ’57 Chevy. The interior is a kit designed and sewn by Ciadella Interiors, using medium grey fabrics. The seat frames were completely rebuilt and extra insulating pad was laid on the floor before the carpet was installed. The glass is a tinted, matched kit. All interior chrome trim pieces are “best quality” reproduction items. The A/C is an “Old Air” brand R-12 system designed for 55-57 Chevys. It has held its charge and blown cold since installation! It has a small Stewart-Warner temperature gauge and a USA-1 AM/FM Cassette (remember those!) in the dash. The rebuilt original electric wiper motor does work! The entire car was rewired using the best quality original reproduction wiring kits and looks factory original. The wheels are original 15x7 Chevy Rallyes, powdercoated medium grey. The tires are Hoosier P235/60R15. The rocker mouldings and gravel shields are reproductions. The rest of the stainless is original. It was straightened and polished by an “old-school” SoCal craftsman to a “better than reproduction” finish. The front bumper is the original 1-piece California bumper. The rear bumper is an original wagon 3-piece bumper. The accessory bumper and grill guard are original to the car. Everything was triple-chrome plated by Lemon Grove plating in San Diego, CA. Every hinge, latch, spring and other cad piece was re-plated. (Note: Back in the 90’s, CCI offered “good” and “best” quality reproduction parts. Every repro part purchased for this car was the “best” quality! Today (in my humble opinion), many of the reproduction parts are not available at the level of fit & finish that I used during this build.) Everything on the car works wonderfully….though the original electric clock can be finicky….and I could never get the speedo gear indicator to line up with the turbo transmission shifter :) As I said up top, I built this car to meet my personal preferences. I wanted a car that maintained the timeless, classic looks of the 1955 Chevy; one that would not go “out of style”. I wanted it to look like Chevrolet could have built it this way. I used genuine GM parts whenever possible. I wanted it to ride well and be tight, but to have the feel of a real 1955 Chevy (no Corvette subframes, air-ride suspensions, or computer controlled engines for me). The car was built to last forever! Extra steps were taken whenever the final results could be improved. I was aware of shortcuts that professional shops can take to reduce time and costs, in order to improve profits. But I didn’t have to make those choices. Ultimately, the finished product was better than I could’ve ever imagined! I also mentioned that I wanted to see how my work would stand up to the 1000pt judging sheet, at a time when big money was behind the CCI show winners. At the completion of this restoration, I had performed all disassembly, preparation, paint/bodywork, restoration and assembly in my home garage. It was truly “by owner”. After winning “Best of Show” and scoring 999pts in 2002, I was ready to move on to other things and enjoy my little ’55. Now it’s time to move on again and I am confident that the car will bring joy to someone else for many years to come……. (Note: At the time I scored 999, no car had ever scored a perfect 1000pts in CCI judging. I lost one point, when one of the judges deducted a point from every car in the class for “tail lights misaligned” and convinced a second judge to follow. The third judge did not deduct the point. Everyone in the class agreed we didn’t know what the issue was, so the “problem” could never be rectified. It wasn’t until sometime later that a car scored a perfect 1000 pointsg.) In addition to the car, the buyer will get all records of the restoration, receipts and photos taken during the process. Also, all judging sheets, award plaques, Platinum & Gold certificates, display signs and magazines in which the car has appeared will go to the new owner. The car can be driven anywhere without issues. I will assist the buyer with shipping the car (I highly recommend Reliable Carriers: their enclosed transportation is first class and worth the extra cost). Alternatively, I can probably deliver the car using my enclosed trailer within 1000 miles of Bend, OR, for $1/mile (one way). Please look over the pictures and ask any questions. I know every inch of this car inside-out! Inspections welcome and recommended. Buyer pays $1000 deposit within 3 days of auction close. Balance due and payment must clear before the car will be released.

1957 Chevy Survivor! Bel-Air, two-door sedan, 6-cylinder, 3 on the tree transmission. Laurel Green and Crokus Yellow two-tone. 6,251 original miles. That is correct. It sat on a Chevrolet dealership floor in Illinois for almost 50 years since new. I am the fourth owner. I have put about 250 miles on it since I bought it. We have not been able to find any rust anywhere. It drives great and appears to be 100% all original. It is a true time capsule. The body and trim are fantastic. The doors click shut with zero effort. All of the body gaps are great. The car has a great presence. The interior is all original black and silver. It is very nice. I was going to put it on an aftermarket chassis with an LS3, but it is too nice and I just can't do it. The car needs nothing to enjoy cruising in it. I put new tires on it, but that is all. I turned the black walls out, but you can turn the white walls out if you would like. The ones in the pictures are the old ones. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time, for any reason. Send me a message and I will try to respond quickly.
