About

We bought this car in Aug. of ‘02 w/77,000 miles and it’s great fun to drive it. I taught myself to shoot paint on the hood that’s on this car. I’ll eventually paint the whole car. It’s from Oakland, Ca. and one of the most solid unrestored 57s I’ve ever seen. It had a 265 from the factory still in it when we got it and I’ve put a 57 283 in it.

History of this Vehicle

It was built in Oakland and stayed in that area until ‘79 when a guy from Batavia, IL. flew out there, bought it and drove it home. A guy in our local car club bought it from him in ‘98.

Plans for this Vehicle

Enjoy it. It’s a great driving car overdrive & AC.
