    Looks like the left rear quarter was hit ,paints better ,gas tubes been changed, the floor in t he trunk was rewelded, and looks like spot welds on crush panel ,and some bonds on the bottom and top of the quarter panel ,,,,but it is a very nice 57 I would buy it at a lower price ,,,,,keep up the great work nick ,love rhe channel

    I notice it still had it's "road draft tube" which tells me this could be an early small block. Instead of a PCV valve , they just vented crankcase vapours into the atmosphere underneath the car.

    This was originally a Two-Ten 6-cyl. Wish he would show details of the VIN and firewall tag. Looks like there was some welding in the lower rockers that wasn’t pointed out. Nothing said about panel alignment or anything foundational that could reveal the true value of their cars.

    • @grand73am
      @grand73am ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't think it was a 210. The only thing that indicates 210 is the horn cap, and that's easily changed. But everything else on the car indicates Bel Air, and there are a lot of Bel Air specific parts on a hardop that would be a huge job to find and replace to make it look like a real Bel Air. I agree about the 6 cylinder part, since it has a 6 cylinder hood, with just the Chevrolet script, and no V. Plus it has a 6 cylinder radiator support. As you said, the VIN would tell both those things for sure. Also, it was likely an automatic, since it has the PowerGlide shift indicator still in the speedo face.

    I love the vibe of this car. What hot rodder doesn't love an all-black '57 with a period-correct 283 and 3 speed? When this car was only a few years old, that's what hot rodders back in the day would've run. This one has a little body filler here and there, but I wouldn't call it a bondo buggy---someone took the time to weld in new metal

    It apparently has the early unsyncronized 3 speed transmission, you have to put in 2nd or 3rd before going to first to keep it from grinding. You also can’t downshift to first until you come to a stop.

    • @grand73am
      @grand73am ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, I would guess that the owner found a 210 horn ring cap, and perhaps the horn ring too, in better condition than his original and replaced it. Easy to do. The rest of the car indicates Bel Air. The hood says 6 cylinder, having the 6 cylinder's Chevrolet script on it, and no V. Plus it has a 6 cylinder radiator support. Of course the VIN would tell for sure if it's a Bel Air or 210, and whether it had a 6 cylinder or a V8. The speedometer face shows it was a PowerGlide automatic.

    Nick that appears to be original running gear or at least period correct. Non-syncro 1st gear. Would make a great beefy 350 swap and add a 4 sp. Re-route the exhaust. Not seeing a lot of evidence of Bondo. Just an old poorly done paint job more than likely done in the late 70's along with the interior. Just my take. Great platform for restoration.

    • @grand73am
      @grand73am ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I believe this car may have come originally with a 6 cylinder. It has a 6 cylinder radiator support, and the hood belongs to a 6 cylinder car, having only the Chevrolet script on it. A V8 would have a "V" and a script.
      I believe this engine is from the early to mid 60's. The valve cover hold-down screws are straight across from each other, which indicate 1960 and newer. The screws on 55-59 valve covers are offset from each other, not straight across.
