Up for sale is this beautiful and “no expense spared” 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air hardtop SHOW CAR which had a 7-year “Rotisserie & Frame-off” restoration. No screw, nut, bolt, hood bumper, or door “flipper” was left untouched. Everything on the car has either been replated or reconditioned and functions as it did when it was new.
Power comes from a Holley Sniper fuel injected 383 c.i. Chevrolet V-8 rated at over 420 h.p. Please note for you purists out there, this car was NOT a factory F.I. car when new.
NO TRADES
The project was completed in 2005 and only 2000 miles have been logged on the car since then. Additionally, the current engine and transmission combination was dropped in less than 2 years and 250 miles ago!
On a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being poor and 5 perfect, it is a 4+. No disappointments.
A complete binder with diagrams, specifications, and receipts accompanies the car, along with the ‘Sniper’ tuning screen.
There were only 3 areas which show some age. Please view photos carefully. Otherwise, the pictures and video speak for themselves.
Here are the particulars…..

I have been an active eBay seller of cars and other items for more than 19 years and maintained a 100% rating during most of that period. Approximately 10 years ago I started an online service assisting owners of Classic, Vintage, and Muscle cars to sell their vehicles on the internet without them leaving the garage. These are private individual owners who do not want to deal with the public and all the endless phone calls, “Tire kickers”, and other nonsense that goes on when trying to sell a car. They just want someone to sell it!!
