1957 Chevy 210 2dr Hardtop 
LOTS of Pics!!
1957 Chevrolet 210 2 door hardtop Bel Air Clone. Original 283ci V8 with powerpack option, even has the stock 4 barrel carb on it! Original 2 speed Powerglide transmission and 3.36:1 rearend. Overall pretty clean without major rust problems. Excellent car to cruise while you restore it. This car is amazingly original, it some how made it 50 years without being modified. Engine runs good, needs a shot of starting fluid to start when its cold, but once it has ran for a while it starts fine. Transmission shifts fine, but does need the linkage adjusted. Original wheels and hubcaps. Vintage Stewart Warner gauges. New gas shocks on the front and air shocks on the rear. New points, condensor, cap, and spark plug wires. I installed a new alternator(converted from generator) and Hedman long tube Headers(have original exhaust manifolds). 2 exhaust systems come with the car. One is loud and currently on the car, the other is a much quieter exhaust. Slot Mag wheels. Speedometer works, but stock fuel/temp gauges dont. Trunk is solid with only surface rust. Floor boards have been patched. Some rust in quarter panels and fenders, but not real bad, very fixable. Paint looks good at a distance and in pics, but needs repainted as its bubbling in areas. I also have some misc. parts, there are pics of them in my photobucket link. I tried to take pics of everthing. If there is a particular pic you want that I dont have let me know and I will try and get it for you. The only reason Im selling this car is to put a down payment on a house. 15,000 OBO Buyer picks up, Im located in east central Kansas.
