This ain't your grandpa's Bel Air—unless your grandpa was a badass.
THE GOODS: Complete frame-off restoration with serious go-fast goodies. This '57 hardtop packs a punchy 383 cubic-inch small-block Chevy mated to a smooth-shifting 700R4 automatic with a floor-shifted manual valve body. Translation? Modern drivability meets old-school cool.
PERFORMANCE UPGRADES:
• 383 SBC V8 built for the street
• 700R4 4-speed auto w/ manual valve body kit
• Ford 9" rear end with 3.73 gears (traction for days)
• Doug's Headers with electric cutouts (flip a switch, wake the neighbors)
• Be Cool aluminum radiator (stays cool in Florida heat)
• Power disc brakes all four corners (stops like a modern car)
• Inboard relocated rear springs for modern wheel clearance
STYLE & COMFORT:
• Stunning candy apple red paint that pops in the sun
• Chip Foose wheels wrapped in fat modern rubber
• Custom bucket seats (driver's side power-adjusted)
• ICE-COLD A/C (yes, you can cruise in August)
• Modern gauges that actually work
• Slightly flared rear wheel wells for that perfect stance
THE PROOF: Comes with three-ring binders full of receipts documenting the entire build. This car was done RIGHT by someone who cared.
WHY YOU WANT THIS: Drive it anywhere. Car shows. Cruises. Daily if you want. This is a restomod that's actually sorted—not a project waiting to strand you. Sounds incredible with the cutouts open, runs cool, stops straight, and turns heads everywhere it goes.
PROFESSIONALLY INSPECTED & DOCUMENTED: This Bel Air is currently featured on our dealer-free boutique classic car auction platform that actually gives a damn about quality. We invested in professional photography (nearly 500 high-res photos!), a comprehensive Lemon Squad® pre-purchase inspection, and even shot a "Seller Session" video interview. All that documentation comes with the car.
Forget the 10-12% buyer premiums at Barrett-Jackson and Mecum, or even the 5% other online platforms charge. We keep it simple with just a 2% fee. More importantly, we curate our listings—turning away over 50% of submissions to maintain quality standards.
Every car on our platform has been vetted and earned its place.
