Vehicle Description
1957 Chevrolet 2 Door Hardtop
The 1957 Chevrolet BelAir. By name alone even those not involved
with the classic car community can instantly picture the car you
are talking about. That just goes to show the popularity that these
cars truly have. Whether you are looking for a car to invest in or
just one to enjoy, you really can't go wrong with a 57 Chevy. There
are many different levels of these cars out there from the original
survivor, to the restored, the projects, restomods and show cars
but something about this 57 sure stands out. It falls more into the
custom restomod class and when you start looking close there is no
doubting the quality of the build. It is an extremely solid car
that was built up to not only look great but perform as well. This
is more than just your weekend show car. It could easily handle
long trips or anything you throw at it and with only 758 miles
since completion it has a long life ahead of it. Painted in a Black
metallic paint the car has a beautiful finish with a great shine.
The doors, hood and trunk were shaved which pairs perfectly with
just the right amount of stainless and chrome to create a classy
but extremely tough looking exterior. One glance at the look and
stance of the car lets you know it means business. The original
side mirrors were replaced with more modern aftermarket mirrors
that have been painted to match the body and little details like
this really make the car stand out. Another subtle customization
include the spears on the hood which were custom made for the car
and sit in the original housing which has been pointed. Under all
four corners are Boyd Coddington wheels with 17s up front and 20s
in rear which tuck nicely underneath the tubbed fenders.
A new ZZ4 350 small block with 700R4 transmission was installed and
utilizes a dual four barrel Edelbrock intake. Billet and chrome
components were used throughout with finned Edelbrock valve covers
and a matching air cleaner. Everything under the hood was very
nicely done including the custom aluminum radiator support to hold
the Be Cool aluminum radiator system. The car has a sound that
matches the look due to the dual ceramic coated exhaust with
Flowmasters routed to the rear of the car with square tips that
dump right underneath the rear bumper. The exhaust was routed
through the frame and the look underneath the car is another
indicator of the quality. The custom powder coated frame, 9" Ford
3.73 positrac rear end and a majority of the components were done
in Silver with everything underneath having a nice finished
appearance. Baer disc brakes were added in front/read and are power
assisted which combined with the power rack and pinion make it a
very smooth car to drive. Electric wipers and the Vintage AC system
are other modern comforts that were put into place.
The interior of the car is custom as well and done in Black leather
with Silver inserts. The seats are very comfortable and up front
there is a fold down center arm rest. A tall Lokar shifter rises
from the floorboard and moves through the gears with ease. The dash
is painted Black and fitted with aftermarket Billet trim. White
faced Classic Instrument gauges sit in the original style gauge
cluster and really dress up the dash nicely. A polished tilt
steering column was also added with a custom steering wheel up top.
Billet pedals, chrome power window controls and billet handles are
other customizations but with all that was done to the car we are
sure we something was left out. The trunk of the car is nicely
upholstered as well and houses a custom battery box for the Optima
Battery.
This car runs extremely well and has that look that so many are
trying to achieve with the pro touring trend. It is sure to stand
out in a line of 57's and the quality of build is something that
not just anybody could do. It wins awards wherever it goes and
always draws a crowd.
