For Sale: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air in Charlotte, North Carolina

Vehicle Description

Presenting a ground-up built 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible Restomod that blends classic design with cutting-edge upgrades for a truly refined performance machine. At its heart, a finely tuned 350 cubic inch Chevrolet small block V8 takes center stage, featuring dual Edelbrock Performer 4-barrel carburetors atop an RPM Air Gap intake, delivering robust power and responsiveness. The engine bay is dressed with chrome accessories and flat belts, complemented by a high-performance Be Cool aluminum radiator with an electric fan and an Optima battery for reliable starts. Power flows through a TH350 automatic transmission, providing smooth shifting for both city cruising and open-road driving.

Finished in a bold Torch Red, this Bel Air's exterior is complemented by a matching red cloth convertible top, adding a touch of elegance. The custom red interior is both stylish and comfortable, with TMI-upholstered reclining bucket seats, bespoke door panels, and a full custom center console with built-in storage. Modern amenities include power windows, a tilt steering column, and a touchscreen stereo with Bluetooth connectivity, all designed to make every drive enjoyable. The restored dash retains the classic look but is updated with billet aluminum accents on the door handles, lock knobs, and pedals, adding a modern twist to the vintage feel.

Driving dynamics are improved with tubular front control arms and coil-over shocks on both the front and rear, giving this classic a sportier, more responsive ride. In the rear, the factory leaf springs have been replaced with a triangulated 4-link setup, paired with a 3.36 gear ratio and an open differential for smooth power delivery and enhanced control. Power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and air conditioning with heating ensure comfort and confidence behind the wheel.

This Bel Air rides on chrome multi-spoke wheels-18 inches in the front and 20 inches at the rear-wrapped in General Tire radials that provide grip and stability. A dual exhaust with chrome Ram Horn manifolds not only adds to the car's aesthetics but also gives it an unmistakable exhaust note. This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Restomod is the perfect fusion of vintage appeal and modern performance, making it an exceptional cruiser with high-end comforts and timeless style.
