1957 Chevrolet Bel Air - Absolutely stunning example of America's favorite fins with all the of show & go you need! Professional frame-off restoration on an extremely solid "VC-code" car that spent 90% of it's lifetime in North Carolina. Quality fit and finish is evident everywhere you look and alot of attention to detail including the factory red oxide floors. Meticulously maintained and cared for by same owner/builder for the past 30+ years! Powered by a recently rebuilt 301ci small block stroker motor with era-correct dual quad setup, 2.02 fuelie heads, roller rockers, MSD electronic ignition system, custom Gibson stainless dual exhaust and a slew other performance goodies. Driving is a blast while banging gears through a Muncie 4spd manual transmission mated to a "Strange Engineering" 12-bolt posi-rear with 3.73 gears and updated power steering unit. Completely upgraded suspension with tubular A-arms, dropped spindles, heavy duty sway bars, 4-link rear and 4-wheel Wilwood power disc brakes. The aggressive "pro-touring" stance and classy styling is complimented by a set of all chrome US MAGS 17" wheels on radial tires. Exterior shows off beautifully in a custom mix of "Rasberry Pearl" metallic base with a pearl white roof. Gorgeous Bel Air stainless all still in-tact and brightly polished along with all the chrome. Interior contrasts nicely with the correct factory black and silver Bel Air trim package, painted dash, Impala steering wheel, floor mounted Hurst shifter, accessory gauges and an updated "Wonder Bar" AM/FM stereo system. This car is very detailed from front to back and top to bottom. A real head turner and must-see in person to appreciate the time and efforts put into the build. Tri-Five chevy's have always been on every collector's wish list and this one is no exception. A perfect mix of the iconic hot rod style of yesteryear mixed with a little modern performance comforts of today. Turn-key ready to enjoy and own at a fraction of the build cost!
