Dan Glover mid-engine gold 57 chevy from Yucaipa California

If the car was sold out of state the vin might still be in the system. Just because Cali doesn’t keep them doesn’t mean everyone dumped the smog exempt cars. Just a thought.

 

Most states dump the records after the car has not had new tags purchased for a period of time. My state, Mn, its 7 years. It used to be if you had an old paper registration , what you get when you buy plates, that was enough to get new title no matter how old if its in your name. Now, thats no good and they consider it no record after 7 years period. So, Dan's car records would depend on what state it went to sleep in

 

The problem is no one has the VIN.

The car went from California to Wisconsin, then to Indiana, and who knows where

 

Maybe show up in 2025!!

The web page link would be helpful

 

Dan @Keyz28 would have to do that. He posted it. I just wanted to be sure you saw it. Shure looks close to the red car it became.....

 

Appears it is in this group? I can’t see it since I’m not on FB…

Also says its a narrowed Pontiac rear which may be another giveaway.

 

I don’t have FB so I used my wife’s . Still can’t see anything except the black 55

 

Looking at the red ‘57 closely I believe I see A arms on the front. This would indicate this is the wrong car. Mine didn’t even have any way to mount A arms

 

Also this red ‘57 has a stock dash. Mine was removed.

 

I know one of the easiest cars to pull off the frame and maybe due to common rust the most taken off are tri fives. Dashes are an easy fix also. But i figured as the builder you may recognize some personal mods to the hull.

 

When I sold the car there was no hint of rust, but many years have past. If T has photos of the rear end that will revel a lot.

 

Thats a Pontiac rear axle. I live about 125 south of Stl and about halfway to Stl is the start of the horrible rust belt. Tri fives suffer badly even where I am.

 

Good ol' Stl.

Love Seattle,
oh, St Louis,
er, Salt Lake,
Stockholm? -- never mind.

 

Dan, does the cowl and firewall look right? Frames are easily changed on these cars these days. Cage look close?

 

I’m sure most of you notice that the car shown is a BelAir and not a 210. Yes you can add BelAir trim to any ‘57 but most only add the billboard and not all the trim. This red car is full dress BelAir

 

The belt line trim is not Bel Air. As well no upper side glass trim.

 

Does the cowl hole and firewall tell the tale? Does it look right?

 

The cowl does not look correct. 210’s never had belt line trim that I’m aware of.
