1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Two-Door Hardtop - Corvette 327 V8, TH400,
Disc Brakes, 12-Bolt Posi
Collectible Motorcar of Atlanta is proud to offer this beautifully
presented 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air two-door hardtop. Finished in a
stunning turquoise and white two-tone exterior over a matching
custom turquoise, white, and black interior, this Bel Air delivers
the unmistakable look that made the 1957 Chevrolet one of the most
iconic American classics ever built.
The exterior has the proper presence from every angle, with bright
chrome, polished stainless trim, classic Bel Air side spears, hood
ornaments, color-matched steel wheels, polished hubcaps, and
BFGoodrich radial tires. The brightwork and stainless were hand
polished in preparation for sale, giving the car a clean, detailed,
and well-cared-for appearance. The color combination gives this Bel
Air a nostalgic look while still standing out with the kind of curb
appeal people expect from a true Tri-Five Chevrolet.
Inside, the cabin carries the same attention to detail with a
beautifully coordinated bench seat interior, painted turquoise
dash, polished trim, classic gauge cluster, Bel Air badging, and a
floor-mounted automatic shifter. The interior keeps the vintage
feel intact while giving the car a clean and comfortable
presentation. The trunk is also nicely finished with black
carpeting, spare tire, and jack storage.
Under the hood, this Bel Air is powered by a 327 V8 engine. The
engine block part number decodes as a 1964-1968 Corvette 327 block,
and it is equipped with desirable double-hump high-performance
cylinder heads along with factory-style performance exhaust
manifolds. The engine bay presents well with body-color inner
fenders and firewall, chrome valve covers, a chrome air cleaner,
and a clean overall layout.
Power is sent through a TH400 automatic transmission. The engine
and transmission conversion was done properly using an approved
transmission crossmember, giving the car a clean and well-executed
drivetrain setup. The rear axle is a 12-bolt positraction unit,
adding another desirable performance component to this already
attractive Bel Air.
This car also benefits from upgraded front disc brakes with rear
drums. Recent preparation for sale included a new battery from
Costco, new spark plugs, new fuel filter, new air filter, oil and
filter change, drained and flushed fuel tank with fresh non-ethanol
gas, carburetor cleaning to remove old sludge, radiator drain and
flush with fresh green antifreeze, brake line flush, new wheel
cylinders, and a new master cylinder. These recent service items
help make the car more sorted and ready for its next owner.
Additional inspection notes include paint meter readings taken on
5/15/26 showing very little body filler in the car. The
undercarriage shows no evidence of prior accident damage, and the
floor pans are solid. The tires present well visually, but they are
over 10 years old, so the next buyer should consider replacing them
due to age. The only issue noted is that the passenger door window
needs replacing.
This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air two-door hardtop checks all the right
boxes: legendary Tri-Five styling, desirable two-tone colors,
Corvette-sourced 327 V8 power, TH400 automatic transmission,
12-bolt positraction rear end, upgraded front disc brakes, solid
floors, recent mechanical service, and excellent curb appeal.
Whether you are looking for a weekend cruiser, local show car, or
centerpiece for a classic Chevrolet collection, this Bel Air is a
standout example ready to be enjoyed.
