As of April 22, 2025, this is the information we have about this car:
[Feb.01.2017] Car #192 was offered recently (1999) for sale in Australia's Unique Cars magazine (Fall 1998 - info fromAllan Levinson); the car was delivered originally to California; in 1978 it enjoyeda 'B' rating [good]. The following additional information - possibly aboutthis car - was sent to me by 'Brigitte', in January 1999. She says '...1957,with a 365 V8, Hydra-Matic transmission, exterior color #118, trim #1111. It is in roughshape, but could be restored. It is possibly car #192, as the owner had pictures of it onthe Internet, and he showed a picture of a plate on the car that said it was body #192.The car is located in Ojai, CA, and the asking price is $11,000. The owner is GeorgeGarvey, and he can be reached at (805) 646-8714. It can be seen on the Internet at HighwayOne Classic Auto's Classic Classifieds.' [ Mr. Garvey's own 'for sale'ad reads: 'Have owned the car for 28 years. It sat out and was not used since1980. Registered in Nevada. One rust through on left rear door the size of a quarter. Windows do not operate, although glass is intact. Most air ride springs are there, but not necessarily on the car. Nothing seems to be missing expect [except] the donuts [???].Correct wheels. Tires are incorrect, but suitable for transportation. Never been repainted. Small damage to right rear has not been repaired well. Runs on one single fourbarrel (have three two barrels for interested parties). Good stainless top and front window work started. New water pump, fuel pump, fuel lines, battery, brakes. All slave cylinders and master cylinders are rebuilt. Brake linings and drums are in good condition.The car will run and stop. Needs exhaust manifold gaskets for quieter operation. A full restoration would be best, but a fluff job [???] would make the car a gooddriver; $11,000 or trade for interesting vehicles.' Lateextra (5/2005): This from the new owner, Albert Matsa, a resident of Australia's Gold Coast, in Queensland, south of Brisbane. To update your records on 57 E.B. 192, I purchased the car from a dealer in South Australia in late 98. Itis in storage at my business premises. I purchased the car on the word of the salesman . Iremember when it arrived on the back of a transporter, after a 1000 mile delivery trip; the driver jumped into the car and backed it off. I was surprised, because we all know how colorful the words of a car rep can be. The car is as described in your database. I have driven it a few times many years ago. It is 100% complete less the vanities. It drives good for one still in original condition. I have restored 4 classic cars in thelast 15 years and still have all of them. I'm currently finishing off a '57 Seville and looking for reproduction hubcaps for sabers if any one can help [McVey's ???].
