OK so this type of stuff normally doesnt happen at my shop, but in the last couple months not only have I had a one of a kind Talon, yesterday a customer brought this in for some brake work....

1957 Chevy Bel air convertible......More Eye Candy :D

Now I know that there are alot of these out there, but as strange as it seems I bet most people will never see one quite like this.

Image

In case you cant read that it says 432. The owner of the car has the paperwork for the day he bought the car. Everything on this car is original except the exhaust, which he had Duals put on it, still running the stock manifolds just upgraded the exhaust. Obviously some of the parts have been changed through the years, Wheel cylinders and the like, but all The important stuff is all original. Even some of the small stuff, like hoses look to be original, or at least factory reproductions,

Image

It almost seems a shame that this car has sat more than it was driven but at the same time with only 432 miles it makes it something special as well. Or at least in my opinion.

Sweet car! The owner must've known that it'll become a classic right from the start. Impressive mileage, I wonder how much that increases its value.
Kind of hard to see on the pictures, the color is deep purple, right?

No its actually black, with Orange and grey interior, white top.

If I remember I will try to get better pictures of it Monday when the sun isnt shining directly on it. :D

I did some searching and restored models like this one with around 100,000 miles are selling for 30-40 grand so this one has to be worth alot more than that considering the mileage.

Just found out today that this car is worth an easy $100,000 making it the most expensive car I will work on this year and probably next year as well. Makes me really nervous to work on it since brake fluid eats paint and all.
