Lot #1027 - This 1957 Chevrolet 150 Utility Business sedan, also known as the Salesman, had many basic features removed and received several core performance elements. The additions included the 283ci V8 small-block Chevrolet engine that was prepared with a special high-lift camshaft and then topped with dual 4-barrel carburetors for maximum performance. This car puts out 270hp - an eye-popping figure for the time. The engine is mated to a 3-speed manual transmission and is equipped with a batwing air cleaner. The sleeper motif carried over into the Chevrolet's commonly equipped features. Fundamental interior vehicle elements, such as the heater, radio, clock, cigarette lighter and ashtray, were removed from this car to save weight and boost performance. Even the rear seat was taken out - all to make the car faster. This 1957 example has been restored to a high level of accuracy and precision. All correct General Motors parts, numbers and proper date codes can be found throughout this meticulously restored drag-race special. Included with the vehicle is an extensive restoration dossier with comprehensive production number verification and photos for all the vehicle components. It is painted in Code 802 Matador Red, and every surface and material have been carefully refurbished and refinished to a high level of quality. **TITLE IN TRANSIT**
