Chevrolet GT Special 1957 A Masterpiece for True Enthusiasts

This extraordinary one-off 1957 Chevrolet GT Special is far more than just a vehicle – it embodies passion, style, and the pure joy of driving. Its design echoes legendary Italian classics that today command top prices. For lovers of classic vehicles who value timeless elegance and technical perfection, this car is a true revelation.

A Tribute to the Golden Era of Automobiles

The vehicle hails from an era of transformation and innovation – the 1950s. Inspired by the clear, functional aesthetics of the time, the Chevrolet GT Special merges form and function at the highest level. These values continue to shape the automotive world to this day.

Thanks to its road certification and an FIA vehicle passport, the Chevrolet is highly versatile: whether at exclusive vintage car events, rallies, or spontaneous trips across Europe – this car is your stylish companion.

Technical Masterpiece

The Chevrolet is built on a space-frame chassis with aluminum components, the body combines aluminum and fiberglass, ensuring stability and lightness. The conversion to right-hand drive (RHD) highlights the car’s unique character.

Under the hood lies a powerful Chevrolet 350 V8 engine with 5.7 liters of displacement, delivering impressive performance thanks to a vehicle weight of just 950 kg. Key technical features include:

Performer headers, a 650 cfm Edelbrock carburetor, an aluminum radiator with optimized airflow, and a stainless steel exhaust system.

Tremec T5 five-speed gearbox for precise shifting.

Dana/Salisbury rear axle with limited-slip differential and innovative multi-leaf suspension for stable road handling

Suspension and Safety

The vehicle is equipped with:

All-round disc brakes, upgraded with Ashwater Zeus stainless steel pistons.

Adjustable suspension with coil springs and shock absorbers.

Rack-and-pinion steering for excellent handling.

Fuelsafe Racing fuel cell (FIA-approved) and a roll cage.

Perfection in Every Detail

The car’s history and restoration are comprehensively documented with invoices, carefully prepared notes, and instructions for the next owner. The engine was recently overhauled, the clutch and rear axle were replaced – the vehicle is in excellent technical condition.

A Car for Connoisseurs and Individualists

 

This Chevrolet GT Special is more than just a vintage car – it is an investment in automotive artistry and exclusivity. Whether as a statement piece in your collection or as a business vehicle with deductible VAT, this car awaits an owner who appreciates its uniqueness.

The original English vehicle documents are still available, making registration in England possible again without any issues.

 

Leasing or financing can be arranged upon request.

Don’t just drive a car – drive a masterpiece.
