Vehicle Description
A radiant iconic style on the outside, a full custom A/C setup on
the inside, and a powerful fuel-injected V8 under the hood. You
might have already fallen in love at first sight with this 1957
Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop restomod, but it only gets better the
deeper you dig.
Black Cherry is a terrific modern hue that perfectly blends a
sophisticated dark presence with just the right tone of red
excitement. And it has the kind of miles-deep finish and metallic
pop that rally lest you know there was a ton invested in this
finish. And with less than 4,700 miles on the full build, it
continues to have an award-worthy luster today. The '57 Bel Air
hardtop is one of the most sought-after icons around, and so this
one makes sure to uphold that desire with acres of chrome and
stainless that have a mirror-like quality. This includes the wide
grille, bumper package, dual jet-inspired hood ornaments, and the
full-length body trim that ends in the hallmark bright tailfin
inserts. Fresh weather stripping, straight lines, doors that shut
solid, clean glass, and crystal clear headlights add an overall
feeling of a thoroughly built car. Those polished Ridler wheels
with 17/18-inch front/rear setup add shine, while also reminding
you this is a powerful custom coupe.
One look inside and you know they had a big budget for the
interior. It starts with the ultraleather bucket seats up front.
These not only have better bolstering than anything that came out
of the 1950s for superior comfort, but they also power adjust for
the ideal individual position. The supple tan color on these front
seats is not only shared with the rear bench, but also the steering
wheel, trunk, and custom door panels for a nice coordinated
package. Plus, the black cherry returns on the dash for a uniform
presentation that car show judges love. This is a great place to
spend some time with upgrades everyone will love like an armrest
center console, cup holders, a retro-style AM/FM/cassette Stereo,
and cold-blowing air conditioning. But in a car like this, the best
treats are reserved strictly for the driver. You get a Lecarra
steering wheel on a tilt column, and beyond that, the white-faced
Classic Instruments gauges give you a full picture of what's going
on under the hood.
The engine bay has a striking look with smooth inner walls and
plenty of polished components. But you can also instantly tell this
is a proper powerhouse built for performance. The best '57 Bel Airs
had a small block V8 with mechanical fuel injection, and so this
one takes the spirit up a notch. It's a 350 cubic-inch V8 with Ram
Jet electronic fuel injection. The V8 fires up eagerly like a
proper FI machine, and it exhales with a nice tone as headers feed
the dual exhaust. There are also good supporting components, like a
Griffin aluminum radiator with dual electric fans and the battery
mounted in the trunk for better weight distribution. The upgrade to
a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission gives you a stout unit
that can handle power, and it also provides overdrive comfort.
Plus, there's power steering, power brakes with front disc, and
deep treads on the modern sport tires.
This is the iconic coupe upgraded to be a build that leaves you
wanting for nothing. So the only way you'll be disappointed is if
you miss this custom '57 Chevy. Call today!!!
