Trying to buy 1957 Chevy Belair Hard Top sitting in Garage since 70s! Will he sell??

[@Matthewcook-s7c]

My sister in law in Houston inherited her Father's 57. 283 power pack same color. Sat in her mother's garage since 1978. All original. My Brother passed away before he could restore it for her.

[@henryjewell3900]

I bought a 57 Chevy two door hardtop from a garage in West Virginia. Nice solid car. When we sanded down the body for new paint It was an original dusk pearl car.

[@mikestone7692]

I don’t care to know what the price was.. From what I saw & heard it was a fair price. I liked the questions you asked the seller. Plus the car still needs a lot of work if the engine is seized. Great video thanks from taking us along for the ride…

[@thomasschlemmer607]

That car is beautiful!!! I was finally able to get my dream car years ago only to be laid off from work a month later, there went the dream car!!!

[@carlheintzinger6450]

Wow I haven't seen my uncle Ed car for over 30 some years I'm glad to see it go to some one who will do something with it I remember sitting in that car when I was a little kid

[@davidsantos8206]

2 nice/rare colors, Canyon Coral and Dusk Pearl. Pretty much guarantee you that you won't see 2 cars of either of those 2 colors at the same car show or cruise in. What a great score. Loved the rear antenna(s), rear bumper guards and the backup lights

[@plumcrazyrt5741]

Enjoyed that video. It brought back memories. I was born in Millvale. Family move to Harrisburg in 1957. Haven’t been back since 1998. Lived on Sherman Street across from the Moose. Had a few beers in the Grant Bar when visiting.

[@TomSpeaks-vw1zp]

I had a 58 Buick Super that color. Buick called it Laurel Mist. The top was Polar White.

[@blue32nu]

As much as it looked like it would be a PITA to navigate that property, the car came out relatively easy with no real hiccup. 👍

[@t1259sw]

A true classic. Can you please fix the door flappers? Can't stand it when they are stuck.

[@DavidWilker-o8k]

Can’t believe you found this in Troy Hill!! Great job. 412 for life!!

[@jeffydahmer-ln6go]

I'm glad to see they got this '57 and that it'll see the road again. I'm also very happy to hear that they take pride in the fact that you paid the owner a fair price and always do. I met these guys at Fall Carlisle last month. They're good fellas.

[@hippydippy]

Sweet 57. That original color on the inside of the trunk lid is beautiful! Be nice to it repainted in that original color. I guess we'll see.

[@erichite4871]

I used to work in the building you're parked at at the 18:21 mark! Lots of uh....interesting stories about things that happened there lol

[@leebongirno9670]

For Pennsylvania that’s a really nice car. Hope it runs as nice as some of your truck purchases.

[@Mercmad]

Back in the early 70's a mate had the sister to that 57, hard top, pink metallic ,same interior etc .

[@johnpalmer901]

some of them Pittsburgh side streets are fun with a truck and a trailer

[@erniescarano1522]

Pete, your driving skills are impressive!! I've driven those roads....they can give you nose bleeds.

[@Ironcitygarage]

My grandfather had me on the tractor since probably 5ish? I was backing up garden trailers from a very young age and towing a 24ft box trailer behind a dually on my learners permit lol. If there’s one thing I can do well it’s drive a trailer

[@shnabe]

In 78 anyone could pick that up for 300 tops. I bought one with a six, for 50 bucks, ran allover the state with it and gave it a way. Still ran like a top after beating it for 6 months.

[@georgewilson9121]

a tub of rubbing compound and some non spoke wheels new shocks and tires tune up that would fetch good money keep it stock no crappy LS junk

[@sv62848]

My sister and I would count them on the NYS Thruway going to Grandma's house from Syracuse to Rochester. Too many to count. Very popular back in those years 55-58. Made Kazillions of em.

[@sandraroot7272]

The first car I had was a ‘57 Chevy two door post. It was blue and white, all original. I drove it for about 12 years and then my crazy x husband insisted on selling it. Sold it in the late 80’s for $700. I cried. I loved that car. I live in NC It was dark blue with a white top, 289 engine with power glide automatic transmission. The only thing wrong with the original interior was the carpet over the hump in the back floorboard was worn out from where my son stood all the time. He is almost 56 now so you didn’t have to strap a child in all those years ago.

[@GabrielGiron-g5o]

1976 as a 11 kid was a good year growing up here in northern calif riding bikes n climbing trees n bulding a fort house n those 57 were about 50$ to 150 $ 🇺🇲

[@countswing284]

Always nice to find treasure in your own back yard. Looking forward to see if it runs! Cheers! 😎👍🏎🏁🏁

[@Ironcitygarage]

Fingers crossed!

[@johnroof2663]

I remember as a kid living here in Oklahoma. My dad bought a 57 Bel Air Sedan. It had factory air conditioning. That that worthless power steering system and power brakes. It was low miles.He paid a $1000 for it. He was the second owner. He bought it in nineteen seventy eight.

[@m42037]

What's worthless power steering? If it's not working fix it smh

[@johnroof2663]

@m42037 It's the system they use at that point. The power steering pump was attached to the generathis it would wine, leak, And the malfunction would cause the steering wheel to bounce back and forth.

[@townhall05446]

I believe Chevy called that color some kind of 'coral'. My family had a 4 dr sedan BelAir in that color from 1957 to about 1962.

[@dougcobb8114]

Really impressed by your trailer backing up...!..nice find..

[@chha6439]

My dad had a blue one in 1962. I’m 63 years old now I barely remember it nice car though.

[@m42037]

It's rust free because it's a western car, otherwise the frame would be gone from moisture off the concrete in the garage. Those car's been gone here in Michigan for 40 years

[@CharlesRyan-s3d]

My favorite car to 57 Chevy boy I wish that was me putting it on my trailer good luck with that car buddy you got a beauty 57

[@haroldmordt4421]

That is a little pinker than the factory Dusk Pearl.Under side of trunk shot in the video shows that. Probably a repaint at some point in its life. I've got a Dusk Pearl 57 Nomad i inherited from my Dad.

[@MarksGarageChannel]

Looking forward to the "will it run" video.

[@robertmancus0541]

WE CALLED IT A HARD TOP CONVERTIBLE

[@billtodd6509]

Youre partially correct. The (hardtop convertibles) were the ones that had the steel roof stamped to look it was a convertible from a distance, hence the rear top creases stamped in the steel roof to give it that effect. Bill

[@mattskustomkreations]

Yeah, no. Except for perhaps (by a stretch) the ‘62-64 Impala that had creases in the metal roof to mimic / emulate the creases in a cloth convertible top, or also by a stretch a Ford Skyliner retractable hardtop, there’s no such thing as a hardtop convertible. “Hardtop convertible” is an oxymoron. Might as well say something like you have a motorcycle that’s a “2-wheel trike”. Now if you’re talking about a car with a custom Carson top, I could see that being a type of ‘hardtop convertible’.

[@jamesbrown7521]

That man has had the car for 47 years it’s got to be a little hard to see it go.

E uma relíquia meu amigo

[@winggullseagull1230]

'57 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 dr. Hardtop still the most iconic car of the '50's. But not the cash cow it once was. In 1978 my dad bought me a '57 Bel Air 4 dr. Hardtop for a $1000 I enjoyed it for awhile & I sold it for $1,700. It wasn't easy to sell a 4 door back then. In 1981 I bought a '57 Bel Air 2 door Hardtop at a classic car lot I paid $3,500 nice original car I enjoyed it for awhile & I sold it for $4,250. In 2011 I bought a '57 Bel Air convertible in mint condition & I lost money on it when I sold it in 2014. Then I bought a '57 Bel Air 2 dr. Hardtop & I lost money on that also in 2014. A classic car dealer said to me "Don't buy these cars thinking you can make lots of money because you're not. What's happening is the baby boomers are dying off. And old timers & collectors & investors are selling off their collection knowing the value is going down. So they want to liquidate is quick as possible. Flooding the market as demand goes down & supply goes up. Kids today aren't interested because they didn't grow up with the 50's & 60's cars like I did. And kids today don't have a million dollars to play with to buy the classics.

[@mbleznyk1]

Nice local score!!!!

[@979gator]

How much did you pay.

[@Hotrodford]

Something is only worth what’s someone is willing to pay.

[@m42037]

Please, that's as old as apple pie. Rarely is anyone going to pay for anything way over market value

[@Hotrodford]

@@m42037 market value is what ever people are willing to pay. If everyone that comes and looks at what you have for sale and none of them buys your item for your price then it’s only worth what people are willing to pay. If you get your price then that’s what it’s worth if you sell it for less than that’s what it’s worth.
