History
Bought in Ocala FL in February 2007, resto started then but little done from 2009-2016. Planning to mostly finish by 2022 Bowling Green Nationals (August 10-14, 2022)

First Start July 9, 2022
Moved under own power first time July 20, 2022
I am completing the restoration on a 57 Bel Air Sport Sedan (4 door hardtop). “Bertha” will end up with the original but slightly modified Trim 670 interior, white roof and 1959 Volkswagen Strato lower paint job. I plan on this being as looking somewhat original and somewhat custom. It has a 1966 327CID engine and Turbo 350 transmission. Strato blue 15” rally wheels and 225/60/15 tires.

Then in February 2007 when bought in Ocala, FL.

I have 5 restorable 57 4 doors, 150, 210 and 3 BelAir's. Any suggestions on selling or parting out. Hate to part out if possible.
