For Sale: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air in Lutz, Florida

Vehicle Description

In the realm of the autoverse, few vehicles have starred in more enthusiasts' fantasies than the iconic '57 Chevy. Whether Concours show level, restomod, race-ready, or somewhere in between, there really is nothing like it. As the flaming quarter panels not-so-subtly hint, this gorgeous, fully repainted grey 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Pro Street model we have for you is truly one of a kind. Starting with its sturdy two-door post configuration, this head-turner has undergone a show-car conversion that makes it impossible to ignore. With its painted three-piece front bumper, painted grille, H4 headlights set in custom-painted bezels, gorgeous polished Budnick wheels shod with skinny front tires, contrasted with huge Mickey Thompsons out back, in classic hot-rod style. With custom suspension, no frills interior, and full six-point roll cage, this '57 is poised to be a true boulevard bruiser.

Inside, we find a custom greyish-tan cloth interior. Step over the roll bar and strap into the custom bucket seats, complete with racing belts, which are essential. A power-assisted custom Budnik steering wheel sits ahead of an OE-looking dashboard that replaces the stock gauges with an Auto Meter setup, featuring a huge 10,000-rpm tachometer front and center, with water pressure and fuel gauges flanking it on either side. A chrome B&M T-bar shifter is about the extent of amenities this race-ready classic has to offer. Don't bother looking for a back seat either, extra weight is the enemy of ETs, but it does allow plenty of space for a change of pants for any unsuspecting passengers.

The title "Pro Street" may be a telltale sign that something sinister lies beneath the hood of this retro racer. A massive naturally-aspirated 502 cubic-inch V-8, which we're told has been stroked out to an even more impressive 540 balanced and blueprinted cubic-inches. Pro Topline aluminum heads, a polished Dart aluminum hi-rise intake manifold, and MSD ignition create enough power to move a freight train, while ceramic-coated Doug's long tube headers feed into a true dual exhaust capped off with a set of sweet-sounding FlowMaster mufflers. That power is routed through a built TH400 three-speed automatic transmission before being sent to the Ford nine-inch rear end.
