5066-TPA 1957 CHEVROLET BEL AIR FUELIE

Finished in deep Onyx Black after a 5½ year restoration, this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Fuelie looks like it just rolled off the assembly line. The glass-like paint job throws back light like a mirror, making the chrome bumpers, grille, and trim pop against the dark background. Gold Chevrolet, Bel Air, and "V" badges tell you this is no ordinary '57. The stance is perfect, sitting on 14" steel wheels wrapped in Silvertown white wall 7.50-14 tires and topped with factory Chevy hubcaps. Every detail from the clear glass to the tight-fitting doors shows the care taken during its revival from barn find to showpiece.

The black and red interior hits you with its bold factory-correct style the moment you open the door. Two-tone vinyl and cloth cover the bench seats, looking factory fresh with zero wear. The dash gleams with polished chrome and crisp gauges that light up when you twist the key. Even the clock works - a small detail that shows the thoroughness of this restoration. Shifting happens through the column-mounted 3-speed, keeping the floor clean and tidy. The trunk space is equally impressive with its factory mat, spare, and jack all properly placed and presented.

The 283 cubic inch V8 with its rare Rochester fuel injection system is believed to be the original engine with the correct "EK" suffix code still on the front of the block. Orange paint covers the block and valve covers just as Chevrolet intended back in '57. New belts, hoses, and wires run throughout the bay, while the solid firewall and inner fenders showcase the top-notch restoration work. This V8 pushes power through a 3-speed manual transmission that clicks through gears with precision. The dual exhaust gives this Bel Air the perfect rumble when cruising down Main Street.
