1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Post – Frame-Off, High-End Build – Only ~125 Miles
This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Post is the result of a complete frame-off, 5-year build with no expense spared. The car began with an exceptionally clean, rust-free body and was upgraded at every point with premium components. One of the shops involved nicknamed it “Overkill” because every part—engine, chassis, suspension, brakes, interior—was built beyond typical spec.
Approximately 125 miles have been driven since completion.
