1957 Plymouth Belvedere, 2 door hard top, 318 Power-Pack Engine, Automatic Push-Button Transmission. Body and interior in excellent shape, engine completely rebuilt and ready to be installed in the car. Car was a project my dad started and never finished as he passed away in 2013. Car is complete just has to be put back together. Car ran and drove great, but the original engine smoked some. My dad pulled the engine and completely rebuilt it. Car has around 180,000 actual miles. Must see to appreciate.

All the nuts, bolts, fasteners, etc. are in five 5 gallon pails.

rather have the front clip bolts be in a pail than a whole cars worth.

Nice project car.

Not really an issue.......It just adds to the challenge.

I'd call this a bargain........

A 57 Plymouth is just not that complicated Stan.

Sorry but I went on a Kamikaze Banzai run to save a Letter car hours away from being confiscated by the Sheriff's Department for a friend, once.

A piece of cake he said.
No.
Even making a roller, they are not that simple when staring at a bone bare body and five gallon pails and a hundred milk crates.

No two door Hardtop as advertized though, but I'd even prefer this 2dr. post.
This car will sell quickly I bet.

[barnfind]

I prefer the hardtop in these cars. that B pillar just breaks up the sweeping lines of the roof. IMHO.

I prefer oddball in General, just thinking about this original guy ordering a cheap 2dr. sedan on the one hand but shelling out the extra Money for the highest trim Level (apart from the exclusive Fury Hardtop).

Good point. His car is a Club sedan in Belvedere trim with a power pack V8 ..... Mine is a Sport roof in the Savoy trim with V8 and 3sp torqueflight.
My dad bought a 57 Custom suburban, red & white, brand new, his first wagon. Lots of great memories riding in the back of that car.

Just looked it up, but both Standard American Car publications cite a prod,no. of 55590 Belvedere 2dr sedans but also the same number for the Savoy line. I'd rather say this is the Savoy number and the other one got messed up. Would have been just 12k off Hardtop production if that was correct.

I agree. Too bad Exner had to design post cars too! Shoot me, but there it is...

A few years from now I might drive a FL sedan and think otherwise, lol!
