For Sale: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air in Mesa, Arizona

In terms of bucket list vehicles when it comes to car collections, there are few cars that are more universally lusted after than a Tri-Five Chevy. One look at this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air, and it's not hard to understand why it has become one of the most popular and recognizable cars in automotive history. This particular car has been fully repainted in what appears to be a modern version of the original 1957 color, Matador Red. This eye-catching hue appears more reddish in photos and a bit more orange in person and in direct sunlight. That vibrant color matched with a lowered suspension consisting of an independent front and solid axle rear, complete with a GM 55P dropout rear end, all make for one heck of a showstopper.

Inside, the dashboard, steering wheel, and headliner match the car's enigmatic exterior. The front and rear bench seats, along with the door panels, sport a red and black combination with the classic alligator pattern originally seen in 1957. The dash appears just as it did when this car was new. With its three-gauge setup, analog clock, and gold 'Bel Air' badging, you can feel yourself traveling back in time with every mile behind the wheel.

Under the hood, we find a 265 cubic-inch V-8 topped by a single old-school Rochester four-barrel carburetor and an Edelbrock intake. Power is then sent through a two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission that, although period correct, is not original to the car, which makes it a guilt-free endeavor if an upgrade was ever desired by its future owner.
