1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Hard Top

Description

This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air hardtop is the kind of car you've dreamed about driving. It has upgraded V8 power, four-on-the-floor, and four-wheel disc brakes that turn this icon into a real street machine. And you get to enjoy it all from the comfort of a custom A/C interior.

We love the look that this one has. The Tropical Turquoise paint is a 1957-correct color but it has the right gloss to show an upgrade later in life. Nothing too fancy, just the right shine to look good against the iconic brightwork. The hallmark front end, full-length trim with fan-style rear, and accents for this VC-code Bel Air are all part of the reason why the '57 Chevys are irresistible. And this even has the best streetwise upgrades like classic American Racing Torq Thrust wheels, blue-dot taillights, and pronounced dual exhaust tips. As much as this was built to be a driver's classic, we're told this spent the last 20 years or so in a private collection, and that it has only done about 1k miles during that time. So that's how you get a car that has an everyday appeal that also doesn't look like a daily driver.

The interior is equal parts stylish and comfortable. The exterior turquoise returns inside, and now it's intertwined with a gray tweed. It's a complete two-tone package with a thoughtful setup, including the gray seats with contrast piping. You've got great anytime driving features like the retro-style AM/FM/cassette stereo. There's even cold-blowing R134a air conditioning. And the wood-rimmed steering wheel, tilt column, power steering, under-dash auxiliary readouts, and Hurst floor shifter are all upgrades aimed at your enthusiast's heart.

Under the hood is a good-looking 350 cubic-inch V8 upgrade. It's built right with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Torker intake, an HEI distributor, and cast Chevrolet valve covers. It fires up nicely as it makes a nice V8 tune out of the glasspack-style dual exhaust. The four-speed manual transmission is a must-have for those who like the best control over the power. And speaking of control, you also have four-wheel power disc brakes.

This is the V8 hardtop Bel Air that was built for those who want to really enjoy driving their classic. So if you want to be the icon that others envy out on the streets, call today!
