While I love my Duc and bikes, my real passion is cars. I am sitting in the Phoenix airport on my way home from purchasing a new-to-me car.

I'll let the picture speak for it's self. 

Shotgun!!!!!

Sweet ride!!

if you need someone to babysit let me know!

Where (and when) can we go to see this beauty?  That is truely sweet!

That a 55 or 56?  or either?

I am having it shipped. I haven't arranged the shipping yet. Best guess is that I will see it beginning of next month.

It is a '57 Bel Air Sport Coupe.  The drivetrain is not original. It's got a 400ci small block, 4 speed automatic. I don't know which rear-end it's got. It's got some minor issues, mostly electrical. None of which I can't handle on my own. Well, it's still got the drum brakes. They really need to be switched out for disks. I'll probably have that professionally done. And there are no seatbelts. Even though it's grandfathered, I'll be putting in front shoulder belts and rear lap belts.

I just saw this over in NMC, make the beast with two backsing awesome!!!

Make sure to let us know when it gets here so we can all come ogle it!!

Sweet ride mang. 

I posted in the NMC thread but I'll post again here.

Does it happen to have the superfly vacuumed ashtray that was available on the '57 models?

It is amazing how far smoking has fallen.  In the 50's American's were designing ashtrays like the German's design cup holders.    Now smoking is viewed as evil.  And most assholes that smoke wouldn't use the ashtray nowadays any way. 

Since I don't smoke, I didn't even pull open the ashtray to see. I suspect that it doesn't, but I am not sure. We'll have to see when it gets here.

That car is gorgeous. Congrats. I want to see it in person.
