The Ultimate Pro Touring Tri-Five Chevy Wagon

When it comes to pro touring builds that blend vintage style with modern performance, few builds can match the craftsmanship and execution of this 1957 Chevrolet 150 Handyman wagon. The product of a recent five-year, frame-off, rotisserie restoration, this two-door Handyman has been comprehensively reworked into an award-worthy pro touring masterpiece. With just 1,246 miles since completion, it artfully merges the honest workman roots of Chevy's basic 150 series with the potent 510-horsepower LS2 V8 power and show-stopping luxury amenities demanded by today's discerning collectors. This over-the-top build absolutely nails the pro touring trifecta of jaw-dropping style, massive performance, and modern comfort and amenities.



After a recent five-year, frame-off, rotisserie restoration, this two-door 1957 Chevrolet 150 Handyman Wagon emerged impressively customized and has only traversed 1,246 miles since. The engine bay features smoothed, polished and color-matched surfaces and serves as a fitting home for the well-dressed, fuel-injected, and blueprinted 6.2L/510 HP LS2 V-8 engine.



- Blueprinted 6.2L LS2 fuel-injected V-8 engine rated at 510 HP and 480 ft-lb of torque
- 10.9:1 compression ratio with a 101.6 x 92mm bore and stroke
- Aluminum block with cast aluminum cylinder heads and forged connecting rods
- Custom billet aluminum chromed intake manifold



Backed by a 4L65E automatic transmission with frame-mounted auxiliary coolers, the aluminum engine block features a 101.6mm by 92mm bore and stroke and is topped by cast aluminum cylinder heads and a custom billet aluminum chromed intake manifold. Inside, forged connecting rods conspire with all the magic to produce a whopping 480 lb-ft of torque. A stainless-steel, ceramic-coated exhaust system allows it to breathe with an authoritative note and a look that blends all too well.



Upgraded with an Earle Williams Classic Chassis Works performance suspension with a 4-link rear, the Chevrolet is fitted with 4-wheel Wilwood power disc brakes and a 9-inch rear end. Finished in two-tone Torch Red and Lexus White Pearl, the Handyman is fitted with beautiful new front and rear bumpers, a brilliant chrome grille, and the proper straight chrome trim and tri-five Chevy detailing as expected.



The Lexus-based interior is customized as well with:



- Red leather interior
- Power seats
- Power windows
- Pushbutton start
- Custom center console
- Classic Instruments gauges
- Daytona weave carpeting
- Interior leather trim details
- Updated air conditioning
- Power steering
- Upgraded JBL multi-speaker audio system



When it came to the basics, Chevrolet's 150 lineup was as entry-level as entry-level could be. The Handyman Wagon was that gold standard in service transportation with minimal chrome and creature comforts, but it had a commodious interior that provided space for various tools and materials to get pretty much any job done. A tried and true work vehicle, very few survived, making this customized pro touring example all the more special.



Don't miss your chance to own this incredible 1957 Handyman pro touring wagon! With its 510hp LS2 V8, premium luxury amenities, and incredible craftsmanship from its 5-year restoration, it's a true prize. Call today to make it yours!
