Vehicle Description
1957 Chevrolet 210 w/Bel Air trim
You can't talk classic car history without bringing up the '57
Chevy. These cars are the flagship poster car for classic cars and
even people not in the hobby can point them out. They are truly
iconic. They were popular new and continue to be one of the most
popular classic cars to own. Chevrolet actually made history with
the '57 when they introduced the fuel injected version which was
the first vehicle to reach 1 hp per cubic inch. The car you see
here is a beautiful example of the '57 and was a very high end
build. The car is a bit of a sleeper because besides the American
Racing Torque Thruster D wheels you would think it is all stock.
However, when the car underwent a full frame off restoration from
2010-2012 and a body on restoration from 2014-2015 the drivetrain
was completely redone. The car is painted in a beautiful Porsche
Red paint that has an excellent finish and is slicker than it was
even new from the factory. The body is very solid, straight and
entirely rust free. The chrome and stainless is no different as it
was all redone and has a beautiful shine. The glass is good as well
with a slight tint throughout. The car has a great stance and looks
good whether it is standing still or rolling down the road on those
American Racing wheels with BF Goodrich radial tires.
As we mentioned before, from the outside it would appear this
classic is mostly stock. Well pop the hood and that's where the car
really shows off how it has been taken to the next level. It is now
powered by a pro built 383 stroker motor that has less than 5,000
miles on it. There is no doubting this beauty can spin the tires
where its original 6 cylinder would have only made an attempt. It
puts out 429 base HP at 466 ft lbs of torque. The car is extremely
clean under the hood with tons of chrome everywhere you look. The
firewall is painted a gloss Black and all of the hoses and lines
are cleanly routed. The motor utilizes a hydraulic roller cam, 1:5
roller rockers, Quick Fuel 680 cfm carb, GM serpentine belt system,
MSD pro billet ignition system, MSD Blaster 2 coil, and Holley
electric fuel pump. The sound of the car is music to any car guys
ears with ceramic coated Sanderson headers. The car has zero
heating issues due to the BeCool aluminum cross flow radiator with
Spal dual electric fans. The motor is mated to a PTP Street and
Strip GM 700R4 Phoenix transmission with PTP Street and Strip
torque converter and a Phoenix electric lockup system. From there
power transfers back to the GM 12 bolt rear end with limited slip
and 373 gears. This is a classic anyone could drive thanks to
upgrades like the CPP power steering and Wilwood disc brakes. The
ride is very smooth down the road with a TCI 4 bar rear suspension
with transverse bar and Koni coilover shocks.
The fun doesn't stop there though because the interior was
beautifully constructed with very nice detailed modifications. The
Beige Belgium leather is in excellent condition and the car has
taken home its fair share of best interior awards. The dual
adjustable bucket seats sit to each side of a very cool custom
center console that runs all the way from the dash through to the
back seats. It offers additional storage space as well as
cupholders for both front and rear passengers. A custom under dash
section was created and covered with leather to house the Vintage
AC/Heat adjustable vents with custom trim. The dash has a mostly
stock layout but is now fitted with Classic Instrument gauges and a
"Big Bowtie" GM tachometer. The stereo is a Retro Sound unit with
bluetooth to stream all your favorite tunes and act as a hands free
phone as well. This is a very cool system because it has a vintage
stock appearance while incorporating modern features. It delivers
sound through aftermarket speakers and is boosted with a Sony
Xplode digitizer/amplifier. The amp is mounted in a hidden
compartment in the trunk along with the relocated red top Optima
battery. The trunk is just as cleanly upholstered as the rest in
nice Beige leather which was even applied under the deck lid. Other
very nice interior features include the Billet steering wheel and
Ididit tilt column with column shift, cruise control and emergency
flasher controls.
This is a top shelf car that is being offered at a fraction of what
it would take to build it. It perfectly marries stock '57 Chevy
beauty with modern comfort and performance which is an excellent
combo.
