1957 Chevrolet Bel Air

1957 Chevrolet Bel Air

The 1957 Bel Air is a classic tri-five Chevrolet and this fully restored (2000) 2-door hardtop is a perfect example of this icon - strikingly original with strategic mechanical upgrades. The current owner has provided loving care to this Chevy for over 10 years. The Tuxedo Black/White exterior was professionally reshot in 2000 and remains in excellent condition. The body is absolutely straight and all trim looks virtually new. Chevrolet rallye wheels mount BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. 'Fuelie' logos, dual rear antennae, front bumper guards and gold accent trim complete the stunning exterior package. The only thing that rivals the exterior is the completely restored, back-to-original cloth/vinyl interior. Every minor detail has been addressed. Seat belts have been added and an AM/FM/CD changer sound system provides your music. The Bel Air is also fitted with air conditioning that works fine. Under the classic hood sits a GM L-98 GM 5.7L that was donated by a Pontiac Firebird. It was rebuilt to stock specs and is fitted with factory fuel injection . An electric fuel pump in the tank furnishes fuel and cooling is managed by a center-inlet GM radiator and electric fan. Exhaust is routed through tube headers to a custom dual exhaust. Behind the L-98, sits a 4-speed Turbo-Hydramatic with column shifter - this is a well-designed drivetrain for the street. The chassis is fitted with Saginaw 605 power steering box, power disc/drum brakes w/dual master and front/rear sway bars. This beautiful Bel Air hardtop is a showroom piece that belongs in your garage.
