For Sale: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air in Lutz, Florida

A 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air hardtop coupe is the kind of classic that hits the top of wish lists. Now take that icon and add a fuel-injected V8, sleek custom paint, awesome chrome, and a custom A/C interior. It makes for the kind of dream car that knows how to cruise.


This hardtop makes a great first impression just with its sense of style. The dark gray metallic paint is an unmistakably modern color, but it has a timeless appeal that looks great on this 1950s machine. You can tell there was a quality investment in a professional application, and so there's a good luster that likes to pop in the sunshine. That makes for a nice complement to the iconic brightwork package. There's a mirror-like shine coming off the chrome on the well-integrated bumper/grille, dual bullet-style hood ornaments, and full-length sweeping side trim. Plus, the polished Vision Legend Series 20-inch wheels fit in with this shining style while also signaling you have a true cruiser. And as you look at this one up-close, you can even appreciate the quality in fundamentals. The doors close with confidence, the weather-stripping is pliable, and the hood and trunk line up nicely. It makes for a thoughtful total package on a true icon of American motoring.


The interior continues this fun driver feeling. After all, velour seats with a button-top diamond pattern are pure custom cruiser cool. And the side panels continue the pattern and burgundy accents. It's all nicely detailed everywhere from the bright trim to the Bel Air floor mats. The car was restored with easy cruising in mind, and that's why you have upgrades like the AM/FM/cassette stereo, upgraded speakers, and recently installed cold-blowing R134a air conditioning. It feels like a great driver's setup with the right extras like the woodgrain three-spoke steering wheel, auxiliary gauge trio under the dash, and a B&M floor shifter.


The engine bay likes to impress, too. This is a 350 cubic-inch crate motor topped with FiTech electronic fuel injection for added power and consistency. And the upgrades don't end there. You also have Edelbrock aluminum heads, an Edelbrock Performer intake, and shorty headers feeding the dual exhaust. It's also supported by the right pieces, like a serpentine belt system and an aluminum radiator with electric fan. A car like this was made for cruising, and that's why you have great driving upgrades, like the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes with dual master cylinder, and drilled and slotted discs up front.


Complete with maintenance records, this is the iconic classic that checks all your boxes for power, comfort, and style. That's why this one is so irresistible. Call today!!!
