1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Restomod

Description

A 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air hardtop offered for this kind of money is already exceptionally attractive. And that's before you dig into the details like the shining paint, powerful V8, upgraded suspension, overdrive transmission, and A/C interior. Oh yes, this well-priced icon is also the restomod of your dreams!

This is the kind of coupe we all dream about. After all, you can't get more all-American than a '57 Bel Air hardtop. And this one really goes the extra mile. The red paint is a newer application, and it's a shade deeper than the usual cherry hues. That means you get a terrific gloss and shine while also some added distinction of a more sophisticated red. This deeper paint also allows to really show off the brightwork, which is exactly what we all love about the '57 Chevy. The artful front bumper with integrated grille, dual rocket-like hood ornaments, gold anodized trim, factory wheel covers, and the iconic full-length trim with fan inserts to accentuate the tailfins – it's shining so brightly, which tells you the level of care in the restoration. You'll even love all the upgraded details, like the fender skirts, dual aerials, and special rear bumper that allows for the continental kit. It's all part of a terrific classic appearance, and yet, none of it give hints to all the upgrades within.

The first impression of the interior is a coupe that was nicely restored to stock. After all, the red and black seats feel fresh, and they are correct, right down to the piping and button-top presentation. But then you slip behind the upgraded wood and chrome steering wheel, and you instantly understand why this is a restomod. There's a new chrome tilt column for comfort, and beyond that is a Dakota Digital readout package that gives you better info than was ever available in the '57 Chevy. Plus, you have nice upgrades like an AM/FM/Cassette stereo for the best in cruising tunes. But your favorite part will be power windows. After all, it means you never have to leave the driver's seat to show off this pillarless hardtop profile. And with the modern R134a air conditioning blowing nice and cold, you can do this long into the summer season.

Because the interior and exterior are ready to show off, so is the engine bay. Not only was the block painted to match the exterior, but you have plenty of bright components like the valve covers, alternator, and radiator shroud. More than just style, this Chevy has substance. The 350 cubic-inch V8 is enhanced with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and shorty headers that feed a rumbling dual exhaust. We know this is the kind of classic you want to drive everywhere, and so they made it exceptionally easy. That's why there are upgrades like the tubular A-arm front suspension, power steering, and front disc brakes. The transmission is a four-speed automatic, so it has highway-friendly overdrive. And there's even an aluminum radiator with an electric fan to keep everything running cool even if you're in traffic with the A/C pumping.

Complete with services manuals, this is a quite fresh build of an amazing American icon. And if you hurry, it all can be yours for quite a nice price. Call today!!!
