The fiberglass body was refinished in black during previous ownership and is equipped with a wraparound windshield, bright trim, front and rear bumperettes, and a driver-side mirror. The black soft top is shown in its raised position in the gallery below, and a matching hardtop is included.
Steel 15″ wheels are finished in black and wear simulated knock-off hubcaps and Firestone tires. Axle-rebound straps are fitted in the rear, and stopping power is from drum brakes at all four corners.
The cabin features red vinyl with textured inserts along with a matching dashboard, carpets, and door panels. Equipment includes a replacement shifter, seat belts, and a dash-mounted rear-view mirror. Neither a heater nor a radio is installed, and the removed shifter is included in the sale.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 140-mph speedometer, and a 6k-rpm tachometer is mounted in the center of the dash and flanked by auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 300 miles, approximately 100 of which were added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.
The 1957 model year marked the debut Chevrolet’s fuel-injected 283ci V8, and it was factory rated at 283 horsepower. The engine is said to have been balanced and blueprinted under previous ownership, and the oil was changed in 2020.
