Vehicle Description
1957 Chevrolet BelAir hardtop. I've owned this black two-door
hardtop since 1982. It was off-the-frame restored in 1981. In 2011
and 2012 I another total refresh. All engine components are
original to the car (heads, intake manifold, carburetor, air
cleaner, exhaust manifolds, timing chain cover, distributor, and
exhaust manifolds,). The short block is a new (not rebuilt) 80's
factory 350 which now has about 1800 miles on it. The transmission
is the original 3-speed manual with the original shifter on the
column. The refresh included new interior, replating chrome, strip
& paint, refinish stainless trim, rebuild brakes, new water pump,
new radiator, rebuild carburetor, rebuild front suspension, remove
and refinish third member & suspension, refinish underside of
floors in correct red oxide color, strip & paint inside trunk,
completely detail engine, and more. (radio is back in the dash).
Clock has a quartz conversion. I have a set of original wheels and
a set of N.O.S. hubcaps which will go with it. This car is super
clean, and it is one of the best you will see in a long, long time.
