1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Restomod

Description

On the outside is the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air you love done to a show-ready standard. On the inside is an ultra-luxury leather interior with A/C. And within it all is a fuel-injected crate motor, overdrive transmission, and four-wheel disc brakes. And the total package makes this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air one of the most awesome restomods you'll likely ever see.

The Bel Air was the top-of-the-line model among the tri-five Chevys, and this hardtop was restored less than 4,500 miles ago to be above the rest. It starts with a slick application of black paint. It has that kind of gloss and shine that reminds us why black paint jobs look so good. And so the light just loves to roll off those all-American curves. The body panels were fitted to make sure that the gaps are even, which allows for doors to have a smooth action, and the trim lines up to appear like unbroken lines. You have all the desirable pieces, including the mirror-like shine of the hallmark chrome front end, dual jet-inspired hood ornaments, and the special tailfin trim that only belongs on a real-deal '57 Bel Air like this. Plus, this gets the details correct, right down to the gold anodized pieces that are part of the premium package. More than just iconic, there are subtle ways this one indicates it's an upgraded machine. It's seen in the crystal clear headlights and LED taillights. Of course, it's also announcing extra power with the Billet Specialties polished alloys with larger and wider rear tires for an awesome sporty stance.

The full cherry red interior makes for a terrific and aggressive full color combo against the deep black exterior. It feels like no expense was spared to give this hardtop real modern conveniences. Everyone lucky enough to be a guest in this car gets amazingly comfortable bucket seats. They are finished in supple leather, and yours even power adjusts to the ideal driving position. And the low mileage means everything from the plush carpeting to the custom furnished trunk has a fresh and vibrant style. There are modern conveniences such as the cup holder center console and a retro-style AM/FM stereo with an iPod hookup for your favorite music. The power windows mean you can showcase the hardtop profile without leaving the driver's seat, and the cold-blowing air conditioning keeps everything cool even when the windows are down. The chrome steering wheel has a nice grip, and it's mounted on a tilt column to give you a clear view of the upgraded full Digital gauge package that glows red to match the interior.

The engine bay loves to use the dark and slick inner walls to funnel your attention to the upgraded heart in the middle. This is a 350 cubic inch crate motor. While the presentation has a show-worthy shine, what you'll love most is the substance behind the style. The block has been enhanced with a polished intake and headers. It's topped with a Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection which gives you the kind of power and consistency that they could have only dreamed of in 1957. There are plenty of quality supporting components like Bucks Racing fabricated valve covers, an MSD ignition, TruTrac billet pulley system, and a large aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. The upgraded V8 is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission that's great for performance kick-downs or all-day overdrive highway cruising. Add in power steering, Wilwood four-wheel power disc brakes, and the grippy sport tires, and you know you'll also be adding plenty of miles to this fresh build.

This is a custom build of an American icon that's clean all the way through. It'll be the hit of every cruise-in that's also reliable enough to take on the Power Tour. It's the kind of Bel Air hardtop that you've always wanted, and if you're quick enough, your dream car is ready. Call now!
