1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-Door Sedan LS3

Completed in 2020 following a no-expense-spared rotisserie restoration and professional build, this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-Door Sedan stands as a thoroughly modernized interpretation of one of America's most iconic sedans. Finished in House of Kolor Tangelo Pearl with a contrasting Snow White Pearl roof, the car showcases exceptional attention to detail from its painted undercarriage, smoothed firewall, and tubbed rear wheel wells to billet hood/trunk hinges and extensive new brightwork. Inside, custom leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, power-adjustable front seats, power windows with smoked cabin glass, Dakota Digital VHX instrumentation, and Vintage Air climate control with billet vents bring fully updated surroundings. Cruise control, a Kenwood multimedia system w/GPS navigation, Bluetooth, and a backup camera round out modern tech. 

Under the hood, a GM Performance LS3 6.2-liter crate V8 produces 525 horsepower pairs with a 4L70E four-speed automatic transmission. Its Art Morrison GT Sport chassis is further equipped with independent rear suspension, tubular A-arms, JRI adjustable coilover shocks, and Detroit Speed power rack-and-pinion steering. A Strange S-60 rear axle fitted with 3.50:1 gearing and 1,500-horsepower axle shafts puts power down while 4-corner Wilwood disc brakes with Hydro Boost assistance provide sure stopping power. Art Morrison headers, stainless-steel exhaust, an Eddie Motorsports serpentine accessory drive, and comprehensive fuel system, cooling, and electrical upgrades round out impressive faire beneath the surface.

Boyd Coddington Junkyard Dog wheels wrapped in Michelin tires complete an all-American aesthetic enhanced by LED lighting, including an integrated third brake light. Specialty Power windshield wipers, chrome core and hood support, plus a trunk-mounted Optima battery w/isolation switch further demonstrate the exhaustive detail work on display. Accompanying the sale are two keys, a build sheet documenting the restoration, and a car cover. This professionally crafted Tri-Five Chevrolet presents an outstanding opportunity for collectors seeking a show-quality custom ready for turnkey enjoyment.
