About this vehicleNO RESERVE - HIGH BIDDER WILL OWN IT!!!This 1957 Dodge Royal 4 door hardtop is in good overall condition - but it is not a trailer queen! If you are looking for a perfect vehicle, then this one is not for you. If you are looking for a beautiful dependable vehicle that you can drive and turn heads, then keep reading. The vehicle runs great and is mainly used for weekend drives. I have more photos than eBay would allow me to add, please contact me and I'll send them to you. Also have videos of engine compartment with engine running, and a road test up to 70 mph.Seller's NotesShows 35K miles on odometer. I can't certify the mileage, but door windlace, seats, and brake pedal show very little wear indicative of low miles. Oil change stickers on door show 7,729 miles on 6/24/65 and 20,029 miles on 6/10/69. I've owned it 10 years, and bought it as you see it now. It has been super reliable, and not needed any major work. The transmission fluid was changed a year ago with a bottle of TransX added, and the heater valve was rebuilt then also. A door was recently re-aligned. That is all it has needed outside of normal oil changes in 10 years. Stock hubcaps are relatively dent free, but the cross centers have some pitting. Tires have lots of tread and are wearing evenly. Horns are disconnected as they drain the battery.ExteriorBody and paint in good presentable condition. Has some minor parking lot dings and paint flaws/scratches. Worst scratch is in bottom of passenger front door (see photo 10). Stainless trim is excellent. Front bumper chrome is speckled. Rear bumper is excellent. Glass is all good. Headlights, tail lights, and blinkers all good. All 4 doors open and close easily. Windows all roll up and down. Vent window frames and C shaped chrome piece on rear doors have some pitting. Driver's side rocker panel is wavy on top edge. Just 1 small rust bubble on rear pass side wheel well lip - I have a photo of it that eBay didn't load. Hood catches slightly on cowl, so there is a little paint loss there.InteriorSeats, door panels, and headliner are all original Royal trim, and in excellent condition. No rips, tears or holes. Notice how sharp the letters and coloring are on the transmission push buttons, again indicative of low miles. Carpet and rear shelf panel were replaced before I owned it. Chrome around dash is nice. Red ribbon speedo works fine, and is steady. Heater works great. Rubber on body that windows roll up into is hard and deteriorated. Fresh rubber replacements are in the trunk for you to install. Dash lights do not work. Gas gauge works most of the time. Temperature gauge does not work. I replaced the temp sending unit on the block, but temp gauge still not working so issue is likely in the gauge itself.Engine325 V8 with 4 barrel carb starts readily everytime. Purrs nicely! Does not smoke or burn any oil. Cruises smoothly at freeway speeds. Push button auto transmission shifts and works as it should. Dual exhaust is rather quiet, with just a little idle rumble. Power steering and power brakes all work fine. Deposits are nonrefundable.Created on the eBay Motors app
