Now available is a true American icon-a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-door sedan, finished in its factory-correct Onyx Black exterior over a striking factory red and black interior. This Bel Air wears the coveted "VC" VIN, denoting its original V8 configuration and authentic Bel Air pedigree. Representing one of the most beloved and recognizable classics in American automotive history, this 1957 post car has been thoughtfully upgraded for power, comfort, and show-stopping presence.
Under the hood, the original powertrain has been replaced with a brand-new BluePrint 350 cubic inch small block, delivering a robust 390 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. Feeding the fuel is a Holley Brawler 670cfm vacuum secondary carburetor with an electric choke for reliable cold starts and smooth performance. The engine is mated to a proven Turbo 350 automatic transmission, ensuring this Bel Air drives with confidence and ease whether cruising through town or heading to your favorite car show. Exhaust headers and a new aluminum radiator round out the performance enhancements, ensuring this Bel Air runs strong and cool.
This Bel Air's stance has been significantly modernized thanks to a brand-new set of 20-inch US Mag chrome and black wheels wrapped in low-profile 225/35R20 tires. They give the car an aggressive yet tasteful restomod appearance while enhancing its road feel and handling. The factory-style gold and chrome Bel Air trim shines beautifully, contrasting with the Onyx Black paint and perfectly capturing the style of 1950s Americana. Fender skirts are also included with the sale for those seeking a more classic silhouette.
Inside, you'll find the original-style red and black vinyl interior (code 669), which presents beautifully and retains all the hallmarks of the era. The cabin also includes a RetroSound Bluetooth radio that blends vintage looks with modern functionality. The original dash layout remains intact, and while the speedometer is currently inoperable, the gauges and controls show well. A new heater core has just been installed to ensure passenger comfort on chilly drives. Dual antennas add a period-correct touch to the rear deck, while rubber mats and a trunk mat help keep this Bel Air clean and show-ready.
This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air was treated to an older frame-on restoration that continues to present well today. While not a trailer queen, it remains extremely clean and very presentable, striking the perfect balance between classic appeal and updated performance. The car retains its full-size spare in the trunk and is ready to be enjoyed by its next caretaker. Whether you're looking to join the classic car scene, add to an existing collection, or simply want a head-turning cruiser with classic good looks and modern upgrades, this Bel Air delivers.
With timeless styling, a powerful V8 drivetrain, and tasteful upgrades throughout, this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-door sedan represents the very best of both nostalgia and usability. It's a car that commands attention and delivers an experience that only a true '57 can offer. Ready to enjoy, show, and drive-this Bel Air is waiting for its next chapter.
