Someone is selling a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air on Craigslist, and at first glance, this might be the project car that so many people are looking for these days.
The Bel Air isn’t by any means in a terrific condition, and the seller clearly explains from the very beginning that “all floor pans and the trunk are rusted out.” In other words, these are some of the parts that you must replace should you decide to purchase the car.
Described as a barn find, the 63-year-old car look like a really sad legend that would use some help, especially when viewed from the front. Needless to say, rust doesn’t just affect the parts that the owner mentioned above, but also the body of the car, so a thorough restoration is without a doubt needed.
This Bel Air doesn’t come with an engine or a transmission, but this isn’t as bad as it sounds. The lack of these parts means that you can restore the car just the way you like, and if you don’t want the original engine, it can all end up becoming a great restomod.
The owner says they’re selling the car because “my health is making me give up on this project,” explaining that it “will make a great cruiser” once the restoration is complete.
It has 82,281 miles (132,418 km) on the clock, and will be offered with a bill of sale, as the title is missing, according to the Craigslist listing that we linked to above.
Without a doubt, the Bel Air is a car that deserves a chance, and saving this Chevy could actually be a cool project for anyone who loves this old model. And the best of all is that the car really doesn’t come too expensive, as the owner expects to get just $2,800 for it.
