Vehicle Description
This custom 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air underwent a frame-off
restoration 5 years ago and is powered by an LS3 V8 crate engine
producing 495hp with 473 ft/lbs of torque backed by a 700R4
automatic transmission with 5,200 miles since completion. Equipped
with headers and MagnaFlow mufflers. It sits on an Art Morrison
Enterprises frame with Kugel Komponents front and rear independent
suspension with heavy duty round tube control arms in the rear plus
dual coilovers on each end. The 3.55:1 gears in a limited-slip
differential. The front end is suspended with tubular A-arms and
coilovers with an anti-roll bar. The chromed power rack & pinion
steering takes the effort out of turning corners. Stopping power is
provided by drilled and slotted 12-inch rear disc brakes with
13-inch front disc brakes as well as a power master cylinder and
booster. Finished in two-tone Cream and Burnt Orange Metallic, the
exterior features a rear bumper that was customized with a nomad
center section. The interior features three tones, electric BMW
seats, a tilt steering column, Billet Specialties steering wheel,
Vintage Air conditioning, Classic Instruments gauges and a Kenwood
sound system with Pioneer speakers and power AMP. It was featured
in MotorTrend Magazine and rides on Billet Specialties
turbine-style wheels.
