Thread: Barn Find

Can you see the car and tell what it is behind all the stuff.......LOL

somthing tri 5 era, that's all I can tell. the headlight, and what I can see of the bumper says GM to me, but not enough for me to give a good identification. whatever it WAS its trash now.

Clearly a '57 Chevy!.......and pretty rusty one, too. Still worth having if it's a desireable bodystyle. There is sheetmetal to rebuild most any part of these.

Good guess Hotrodpaint, not really that bad of rust. It's a 210 V8, powerglide, under 40,000 miles 1 owner. He blew up the small block and parked in the barn. The rust is on the front end, because the door to the barn wasn't always closed.

how much !!!!! now being a 210 does that automatically make it a hardtop im not quite sure on that one. i know that 99 percent of 110's if not all of them were post's

So what's the story. Tell us you bought it.

210s were the middle line between 150 and Bel Air. The 210 side trim was similar to the Bel Air the biggest distinction being without the "striped" insert on the fin area. Could be either a hardtop or a sedan, hope it's not a 4 door.

Cool find.

id rather have a 4 door 57 chevy then no 57 chevy

i see a one eyed 57 chebbie lookin at you , great find and looks like some extra pieces and parts , looks like part of a lawn chair sittin up top
it just screams "CUSTOM" and i agree with the others a 4 door is better than a no door

Nothing wrong with a 4 door, as long as you're only using it for a parts car!!!!! Four doors, even the 4 door hardtops, have lousy resale....

Not too bad w/ tri 5 Chevy's. I'v seen a few resto's go for $30-$40k at shows, not great compared to 2dr's, but better than most 4dr cars.

Guess I missed that!!!! Maybe a 4 dr. hardtop Bel Air with a Fuelie, continental kit, and every other option available.
