This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is a four-door hardtop that is said to have been refurbished with new red paint and black vinyl upholstery approximately seven years ago under previous ownership. Power is provided by a replacement triple-carbureted 327ci V8 mated to a TH350 automatic transmission, and additional equipment includes a dual exhaust system with cutouts, an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans, 15″ Cragar S/S wheels, an aftermarket stereo, and more. The braking system was serviced in June 2020. This Bel Air is offered by the selling dealer in Oregon with a clean Washington State title.
The car was repainted in its current red with ghost flames on the hood and fenders approximately seven years ago according to the selling dealer, and features twin windsplits as well as aluminum quarter panel insets. The paintwork and trim are shown up close in the photo gallery below.
Polished 15″ Cragar S/S wheels wear 235/60 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. The single-circuit, unassisted drum brakes are said to have been serviced and a line replaced by the selling dealer in June 2020.
The cabin has been reupholstered in black vinyl and features matching carpets as well as a body-colored steel dashboard with patterned aluminum trim. Amenities include a clock and a Pioneer stereo in the centered glove compartment, the latter of which is paired with Alpine speakers in the rear parcel shelf. An included AM radio is photographed in the gallery.
A two-spoke steering wheel with an aftermarket wrap frames a 120-mph speedometer flanked by temperature and fuel gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 4k miles, with the actual total unknown.
The replacement 327ci V8 features a triple-carburetor setup on an Edelbrock intake manifold as well as a ribbed air cleaner and valve covers with red accents, an aluminum radiator with twin electric fans, and polished accessories. Coated tube headers feed a dual exhaust system with cutouts allowing it to exit to the rear or sides.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed TH350 automatic transmission. A video containing exterior, interior, engine, and driving footage is provided below.
