Vehicle Description
Is there anything more desirable than a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air
Nomad? How about one that was restored to have strong small block
power, four-on-the-floor, and a sleek show-ready style. So if you'd
love to drive a legend, the ultimate one is up for grabs right
now.
This car looks striking in blue. You could almost get this kind of
color in 1957 (it looks like a mix of the factory's Larkspur and
Harbor hues) and so it keeps the right classic tone. But the
factory would never deliver this level of gloss or metallic
radiance. In fact, while we're told the restoration is 16+ years
old, that's a secret you can keep if you want to. When you pay for
quality and give it good care, the value endures, and this is the
proof because this looks like it was done in 2020. And when we say
good care, we know it has been babied by the same owner since 2007.
Of course, we all know why a car like this commands top-level
respect. These were the top-of-the-line Chevys that ran with the
Bel Air coupes, and so these came with a lot of intricate
brightwork. It's complete and shining on this one, including the
Nomad's bright vertical slats over the hatch dual rocket-like hood
ornaments, and golden Chevrolet emblems on this VC-code car. The
full-length trim with the bright fan-style rear is a true icon all
on its own, and so on such a well-done car like this, it's looking
like an unbroken line of pure shine. It's all impressive, right
down to details like the good window rubber and beautifully clean
glass. But more than just look good, the 17-inch American Racing
wheels with a nice sporty stance suggest this Nomad was made to
roam.
The interior has the look and feel of quality. There are newer
bench seat covers, a smooth dash, good door panels, and plush
carpeting. It's all spacious enough for you to share with family
and friends. There's even a Sony AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input to
keep them all happy on trips. And of course, a Nomad is one of the
sportiest ways to get all that versatile wagon cargo room for
tailgating or vacation. And the reason why we keep mentioning
driving this classic is that it really was set up for you to enjoy.
They made investments like a Grant sports steering wheel, a tilt
steering column, a Hurst floor shifter, and a handy under-dash
tach.
The engine bay likes to impress, too. There's plenty of flair from
polished details like the valve covers, air topper, radiator
shroud, and more. And there's plenty of substance behind the style.
This is a 350 cubic-inch ZZ4 performance crate V8 motor. It's built
with the right power pieces, like an Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor, a GM Performance aluminum intake, a roller cam, and
headers feeding the dual exhaust. And it's also done with good
supporting components, like the Summit Racing fuel pump, and an
aluminum radiator with an electric fan. The motor fires up easily
and runs smoothly. Best of all, you have proper control over it
with the Muncie four-speed manual transmission. And speaking of
control, this has power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a
modern wheel size that lets you fit ideal performance or touring
tires.
The sale comes complete with build receipts, restoration photos,
and the owner's manual. This is the terrific-looking Nomad that's
been restored so you can drive and enjoy it everywhere. That's an
awesome package just waiting for a true enthusiast to grab it. Call
