"Black Widow" 1957 Chevrolet 150

note the 6 bolt hubs...at one point they welded TWO center sections together with longer studs so as to not tear them apart from racing forces.

1957 Chevrolet 150 “Black Widow” NASCAR Tribute

Frame-Off Restored - Period Correct - Historic Track Survivor

This 1957 Chevrolet 150 is an incredibly accurate tribute to the legendary “Black Widow” factory racers built by SEDCO for NASCAR competition in 1957. It's not just built to spec- this car lived that history. Originally a track car, it retains many original racing details and has undergone a meticulous frame-off restoration using period correct materials and techniques.

Highlights Include

-Original race car shell with viewing ports for right side tires- confirms a big oval history
-Hand fabricated brass oversized radiator tanks from the original car
-Exhaust routed through the frame, not under it
-Dual shocks at all 4 corners
-6 lug hubs and spindles
-Vintage roll cage
-Leaded seams on new rear quarters (not bondo)

Body & Restoration

When acquired from a backyard in Georgia the car had more than its share of bondo. It was outfitted with new skin throughout, with the rear quarters seams finished in lead. Evey effort has been made to preserve the car's authenticity and racing heritage, down to the smallest period correct hardware. Restored to race car trim (no headlights, turn signals or horn) it runs and drives (burns rubber!), but it not currently set up for street use.

Included with Sale

Rebuilt 3-speed transmission
Windshield and rear window trim
Headliner bows
Crates of '57 Chevy spares
Original 1957 Black Widow build instructions- extrememly rare documentation

1957 Chevrolet 150 Sedan Black Widow Recreation





1957 Chevrolet Black Widow recreation. This 1957 Chevrolet 150 two-door sedan has been modified as a recreation of the famous Black Widow Chevrolets that dominated the 1957 NASCAR Grand National Championship. The car underwent a frame off nut and bolt restoration under a previous owner in 2023. The car has just 39 miles since the completed restoration. The car was built to the exact specifications of the Black Widow race cars. Work involved repainting the body, re-trimming the interior in the correct cobblestone upholstery, adding a period correct roll bar and installing a 283 cubic inch engine with a correct Rochester 4800 fuel injection unit. As part of the build a 3 speed column shifted transmission and 10 bolt rear axle were included.

Every original detail was meticulously incorporated into the building of this show car. The car features dual exhaust exiting through the frame and quarter panels and is equipped with correct four front and rear shock absorbers, front and rear sway bars, an upgraded radiator and 20 gallon fuel tank. Further details include magnetic headlamp covers, rocket hood ornaments, fuel injection badging and stainless steel quarter panel spears and fin tips. The custom restoration included removable period style decals and numbering. The car rides on correct white 15 inch 6 lug wheels with custom grease spindles that are mounted on 7.10 - 15 Firestone Deluxe Champion bias ply tires. Like the original Black Widow this example is a heater and radio delete to lighten the vehicle for racing.

The chassis number is consistent with a 1957 Chevrolet 150 built at the Atlanta, Georgia assembly facility with a V8 engine. You won’t find a finer recreation of the famous Black Widow Race Car. This is a show winning car that can be driven anywhere.
