Vehicle Description
This real-deal VC-code 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air, and so it makes for
an iconic car for the streets. And as you take a look at the full
package, you'll see an enhanced fuel-injected V8,
four-on-the-floor, and an overall attitude that tells you this was
made to own the blacktop.
It's hard not to get excited about a '57 Bel Air. It makes us think
about American Graffiti style nights where if you met the right car
at a stoplight, you just knew there was going to be a race to the
next one. And that spirit is what makes this one so fun. It started
as a grandfather and grandson project to create a drag car, and so
it has a ton of powerful elements within the iconic style. That's
good to keep in mind as you look over the full car. You have all
the best features of a V8 Bel Air, like the gold accent
grille/emblem, dual bullets in the hood, and distinct chrome
bumpers. Plus, well-fitting doors help the full-length trim look
like an almost unbroken line as it runs down the car and creates
the iconic fan-style tailfin. The Colonial Cream is a true classic
Chevy color, and it has the right look for a street machine. It's
so it's built to be for fun and not a museum piece. And the lowered
stance and 17-inch Torq Thrust wheels also signal this is meant to
be driven.
The interior is a nice mix of custom cruiser and
performance-oriented. It starts with the distinct white upholstery
with red piping. The clean red carpet, white headliner with dome
light, and two-tone door panels are all part of this nicely
coordinated package. As you slip behind the classic racing-style
steering wheel you can really start to see how this one likes to be
diver-ready. A tilt steering column, AutoMeter Pro-Comp speedo, and
Hurst shifter let you take a commanding position. And the full
digital EFI controller is quite obviously a modern piece that lets
you know that you'll like what's under the hood.
While the VC-code Bel Airs meant small block power, the V8 here is
a complete upgraded package. This 350 cubic-inch unit has been
enhanced with a Weiand intake, an HEI ignition, and X-pipe dual
exhaust. Plus, it's topped with a Holley sniper electronic fuel
injection system so that you can dial in your ideal
power/efficiency setup. And the drag car feeling is seen in
components that range from the Mickey Thompson valve covers to the
oil accumulator. And we love the ability to fully harness the
upgraded power with the four-speed manual transmission. But even if
your plans are just to have a fun cruiser, this has you covered
with power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a rear sway
bar.
Complete with build receipts, this is an iconic Bel Air built for
power car fun. You may decide to give it a respray, a more
cruiser-style rear end, or some fun personalization. But it's hard
to go wrong when you're presented with an icon that has some
impressive upgrades that love to let this own the streets. Call
