RE: Just A Little Project
It's mine Mickey.
Got it oct 27, 2004. Some say I stole it. I paid $300 for it with a Muncie 4-speed. Only thing I did not get was an engine. Found a local guy parting a '79 Camaro. Got the engine/trans combo, headers, drive shaft, underhood wiring harness (just in case), even a trans cooler for $300. Should have bought the rear end cause it was a posi.
But the car is a 210. Good call.
Oh. And yes I know the car needs some TLC. But it hasn't seen the road for close to 30 years. For what I paid for it I can't complain.

RE: Just A Little Project
The pass side rocker needs repaired. Whoever painted it blue (original colors are Sierra Gold - Adobe Beige) didn't do that good of a job....... of course.
After a little repair work, (brakes, brake & fuel lines, remove and clean fueltank) I could be driving it.
This isthe car I asked MCF members about the build I was considering? Doing a copycat build of my buddy's '57 Chevy 2-door Sedan.
Paint the car flat black, install the aluminum slotted mags I have, old carpet out of my 2-door Wagon, keep the Muncie 4-speed in it, bucket seats, and find a cowl scoop for the hood cause I happen to like them alot.

Mickey,
He wasn't happy parting with the car. He said it was his first car he got in 1975 when he was 15. From what we can gather he only drove the car one year.
I have seen so many 210s dressed as BelAirs it's not funny. And then they get sold as a BelAir, the new owner has no clue so you tried to help the guy understand he does not own a BelAir and now he wants to fight. I have no plans on BelAir-izing this car. One thing about it, it's a 210 DelRay. In 1957 Chevy made 25,000 DelRays. Not a small amount but when most model runs reach 100,000 or more units it really is small.
A DelRay got carpet versus the rubber floor covering all other 210s got and it got a BelAir style interior versus the standard 210 interiors.
Finding a posi 9" rear would be nice.

ClickforlargerPicture
The ’57 Chevy is one of the most recognized icons in the Automotive industry. Stylish and Sporty the there’s no doubt that it’s one of America’s best and most loved cars.
The 1957 Chevrolet a few different trim levels; the base-model "150" series, the mid-range "210" series, and the upscale Bel Air series. An upscale trim option called the "Del Ray" was also available for 210 2-door sedans, and there was a limited production two-door station wagon called the "Nomad" and also even scarcer was the "El Morocco", a custom hand-built series that mimicked the Cadillac.
Under the hood Chevrolet had achieved an engineering milestone, Ed Cole worked magic developing Chevy’s small-block V8 engine. The original edition was enlarged to 283 cu, with several optional power packages available, pushing it up to 283 hp. The Super Turbo-Fire 283, a $550 option, produced the advertised 283 horsepower with the help of Ramjet continuous-flow fuel injection.
On the outside the Bel Air was distinguished with more chrome and featured a golden grille set off with a heavy chrome bar that included parking lights. The rear fins were capped with chrome moldings and highlighted with anodized aluminum side trim panels. The fuel-filler door was concealed in the left rear chrome fin trim, a small but convenient detail that helped clean up exterior lines.
The 1955-57 Chevrolets remain a favorite with hot-rodders and classic car enthusiasts.
