Frame Off Restored Adventurer 345 Dual Quad HEMI V8
For fans of unique cars, it doesn't get much better than an Exner era Chrysler. And if you're a discerning collector who's itching for a classic big-fin Mopar that'll be the star of every cruise night in town, this '57 DeSoto is your ticket! Based on legendary designer Virgil Exner's 'Forward Look' body, DeSoto's Adventurer was introduced to supplement the brand's well-known Fireflite series and, according to many classic car enthusiasts, is some of the finest metal to ever leave an American design studio. The spectacular code L Surf White and code P Adventurer Gold example you see here was assembled at Chrysler's Detroit, Michigan manufacturing facility and currently wears a clean, high quality restoration that has been exceptionally maintained. Recognized as the first European to cross our famed Mississippi River, Hernando de Soto was considered North America's ultimate adventurer. As such, the Adventurer series became the DeSoto line's ultimate offering. And this car's classy metal moves thanks to an exclusive Hemispherical V8 that wears a correct S26-A-2311 engine stamp and turns hearty 9.5 to 1 compression into a stout 345 horsepower. Behind the FireFlite V8, a slick-shifting A727 Torqueflite 3-speed automatic sends power to a correct rear end. That tough driveline spins in a fully restored undercarriage that's complete with Chrysler's robust torsion bars and stiff outrider springs. And all this road-worthy hardware rides on old school wire wheels which spin pliable 235/75R15 Firestone FR721 whitewall tires. If you're looking for a top-notch classic that'll draw a crowd wherever it goes, your search is officially over.
