Description
Beautiful '57 210 sedan with Belair trim. Cadillac red pearl paint. Full tilt fiberglass front end with ability to easily remove the hood scoop for easy service and fueling access when at the races alone. Fiberglass doors and deck lid. All aluminum interior fabricated in the original '57 pattern on the door panels and back seat. Yes, an aluminum backseat that is a crowd stopper! Aluminum firewall. The car hooks hard and goes straight. Using a Hughes "soft hit" 5500 stall converter, it has gone 1.48-49 in 60 feet, 6.70-71 in 1/8th mile and 10.70 in 1/4 mile.
History
The car is very reliable and consistent. Current owner purchased the car in June of 1998. It has seen limited activity due to time availability. Too nice a car to not be racing. It is absolutely ready to go to the track.
