Vehicle Description
The recipient of a fresh comprehensive rotisserie restoration, this
1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible Restomod, completed in April
2024 by a lifelong paint and body expert, dazzles with its flawless
4-stage Candy Pearl exterior, meticulously applied using premium
Spies Hecker paint. And its stellar fit and finish is met with
ground pounding power, a world class leather interior, and
thoroughly upgraded chassis. No stone left unturned with this
one!
The body features custom-fitted outer sheet metal, floors, and
professionally polished OEM stainless trim. Its original one-piece
front bumper has been re-chromed, and all outer lights are upgraded
to LEDs. Numerous hours of preparation and attention to detail have
resulted in a show stopping appearance.
Under the hood, a brand-new GM ZZ502 V8 crate engine delivers a
staggering 508 horsepower and 580 lb-ft of torque, fed by an
Edelbrock custom-polished air gap intake and enhanced with polished
valve covers. A Vintage Air Front Runner pulley system allows
modern conveniences like A/C to operate smoothly. Power is sent
through a Tremec TKO 600 5-speed manual transmission, complete with
a hydraulic clutch and overdrive, makes for comfortable highway
cruising.
Beneath the surface, the underside is as stunning as the exterior,
painted in the same vibrant color and ready for mirrors! The rear
end is a heavy-duty 9-inch Ford unit with Trac-Loc and 3:70 gears.
A custom-built, ceramic-coated exhaust system gives this powerhouse
room to breathe. The suspension has been entirely modernized with
coil-overs at all four corners, CCP tubular control arms up front,
and an Art Morrison 4-bar rear suspension replacing the factory
leaf springs out back. Stopping power is provided by 4-wheel power
disc brakes, including CCP C6 Corvette front brakes and spindles.
The Bel Air rides on premium Billet Specialties wheels, 17x7 in the
front and 18x9 in the rear, giving it a perfect stance.
Inside, this Bel Air is nothing short of luxury. Steve Holcomb of
Pro Auto Custom Interiors crafted a custom LED-lit leather
interior, featuring Lexus power front seats, hand fabricated
console, and custom stitching throughout. The Haartz Stay-Fast
cloth power convertible top was also installed by Holcomb's team,
ensuring the same level of craftmanship. The trunk is equally
bespoke, matching the interior's theme. A custom IDIDIT chrome tilt
steering column with a Billet Specialties steering wheel provides
the driver with modern ergonomics, while Vintage Air ensures cabin
comfort. Modern conveniences also include a Nu-Relics power window
system, including vent windows, a Rain Gear wiper system, and an
American Auto Wire wiring system for reliability. For
entertainment, a Custom AutoSound stereo with a Rockville amplified
subwoofer delivers the soundtrack.
This Bel Air Restomod is a stunning blend of old-school charm and
new-age tech, designed to perform like a modern day ride, while
looking great doing it! Call us today to make it yours!
