Vehicle Description
This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air hardtop upgrades the icon you love with
a performance stroker V8 and five-speed manual transmission. And
when you enjoy it all from a custom/comfy A/C interior, you start
to see how this has everything you want, including a value price
for a custom street machine.
With its sinisterly dark attitude that avoids a two-tone, this '57
Chevy instantly announces it's built for street-eating
intimidation. But what really attracts you to this one is that
there's arguably no better classic to represent America than a
real-deal Bel Air hardtop with its tailfins and clean pillarless
profile. And of course, the brightwork is so iconic on the
well-integrated bumper/grille, dual bullet-style hood ornaments,
and full-length sweeping side trim. So it's great to have it so
complete on this example. The gold anodized trim hints at the V8
under the hood, and the polished Torq Thrust wheels with
larger/wider rear ones hint that this has extra-special V8 power
(more on that in a moment.)
Inside, the upholstery follows a similar button-top factory
pattern, but they never offered it in this kind of comfy velour.
The black package with red inserts on the doors and seats has the
nice look of extra performance that this Bel Air delivers. But more
than just sporty, it's a nice place to spend some time. This is an
older restoration, but an investment in quality shows you that it
remains looking nice today. They even added air conditioning so you
can stay cool even when you have all the windows down on this
hardtop. You still get that classic grippy feeling of the Bel Air
steering wheel, but now the added gauges (w/tach) and Hurst floor
shifter help deliver an upgraded driving experience.
The Tri-Five Chevys were the dawn of the small block, but they were
never given anything like this. The 383 cubic-inch V8 continue the
small block legacy, but now in a big block level of displacement.
It has been further enhanced with performance components such as
Comp Cams 270H camshaft, roller rockers, high flow water pump,
Edelbrock intake, and topped with an Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor. And the headers add even more power while also
contributing to the rumble this one makes right under the car. It
has nice supporting components, too, with an HEI distributor, high
amp alternator, electric choke, and four-row aluminum radiator.
It's a terrific power package, and you get to take full control of
it thanks to the upgrade to a Richmond five-speed manual
transmission that also includes a Hayes flywheel and Hayes
performance clutch. Modern Hankook tires and power brakes with
discs up front deliver added confidence to this enhanced Chevy.
This is the icon upgraded with the right power and features. So you
know it's a deal you don't want to miss. Call today!!!
