For Sale at Auction: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air in Scottsdale, Arizona

This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is powered by a rebuilt Super Turbo-Fire 283ci V8 engine mated to a Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission. The suspension system features independent coil spring front and live rear axles. It underwent major mechanical upgrades, followed by an eight-year frame-off restoration using new old stock (NOS) parts. The body was stripped, dent repair completed and refinished in its factory two-tone Harbor Blue with a Larkspur Blue roof. The exterior features polished chrome and stainless trim, with gold accents on the nose, fenders, quarter-panels, trunk and Continental kit. It rides on 14-inch body-color wheels with chrome covers and three-blade spinners wrapped in Coker Classic whitewall tires, and features electric windshield wipers, door edge guards, locking gas cap, manual and power antennas, and a body-color Continental kit with a matching spare. The interior was restored by Cooks Top Shop and includes blue vinyl and black fabric bench seats, matching door panels, color-coordinated carpeting with Chevy-branded rubber mats, and a body-color dashboard with a padded cover and metallic mesh trim. Amenities include a Wonder Bar radio with rear speaker, electric clock, air conditioning, Autronic Eye automatic high beams, traffic light viewer, illuminated compass, vacuum ashtray, foot-operated windshield washer, and power steering, brakes, windows and front bench seat. It also features a parking brake warning light, locking glove box, tissue dispenser and a Larkspur Blue two-spoke steering wheel with a full horn ring and third-note horn. Instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer, gear indicator, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. Systems rebuilt include the power steering with new lines, gaskets and O-rings and the air conditioning with nylon-lined cables, new gaskets and R12 recharge in January 2025. This Bel Air also had a transmission reseal and an NOS power brake master cylinder was installed. The engine received an oil and filter change within the last 500 miles. Brakes were upgraded with stainless inserts, new lines and softer compound shoes. According to the seller, the car starts easily, shifts smoothly and has a trouble-free driveline, with well-balanced brakes and suspension. This Bel Air includes a reproduction Window Sticker, NOS tool kit, DuPont paint swatches, owner's manual, brochure, retro-style literature with commemorative box, the Summer 1998 issue of Chevy Classics magazine featuring the car, a clear title, and photos of the underbody, dual exhaust and rebuilt suspension. ** PREVIEW
