Friday we are heading out to look at this 1957 Chevy wagon.
You posted this a couple months too late.
My buddy just sold a rust free 66 gto from Mexico for just under $30k. Full interior, and all. All it needed was a buff and some interior tidying to put it in a local show.

That’s refreshing somebody restrained from throwing Bel Air trim on that car. 210’s are cool.
Looks like stock 283 too
The 57 was a bust. Much more rust that the seller conveniently avoided taking pics of and it hasn't run in over a year. The guy was smoking something on his pricing.
Tomorrow, we are looking at a 1965 Chevy Impala SS.
They hopped up the motor and left the brakes stock. That beast must be a bear to stop. Be gentle if you test drive it, that single master gives out and you only have the P brake. Looks like she's been sitting a bit. No head liner dash is rough. Digging the center console, kick panel look like it's missing too.
This one is a bit of an unfinished project. It was parked after the paint job for a bit. Currently has a 350/TH350 which are not original. I can tell from the pics it will need the suspension rebuilt and some brake upgrades but the 4 wheel drums will stop the car without issue if it is all in good shape until I get time to do upgrades. Our main goal is to find a car with a good body/paint and good base drivetrain we can drive as-is, but I don't mind future upgrade projects.
I hated my 66 Chevelle with shock drums, I could not stop as well as every other car on the freeway. In so cal that meant leaving a huge open space in front, for all the other drivers to dive into. 
front disc with split circuit master made it a whole different car.
All my chevy II had single master. One day while making a right hand turn, at @15 mph, old dude steps off curb to cross street, I stomp on brakes, felt like stepping on rotten fruit. I go sailing by, getting dirty looks from old dude since I barely missed him. 1st gear on the ole power glide and the P brake. New master time. That was still in time when 4 wheel drum brakes were still quite common, and the remain industry still had pride in there work. I don't think I even checked on new master price, I might have kit'd the old MC myself. I forget now, but then I had way more time than money.

The hunt is over. We found a rust free car with a professional paint job, a fresh motor and transmission, and it is a decent driver. It still needs new suspension bushings, a brake upgrade, and all the trim reinstalled. The interior needs a headliner installed that was included with the car and the buckets will need to be reupholstered as well.
One of my favorite chevy styles
Congrats done just enough, that there is room for the personal taste touches
