This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air two-door hardtop is said to have been refurbished and modified in 1997 with work that included repainting the body in red, re-trimming the interior in gray and red, and installing a 383ci stroker V8 paired with a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission. The engine features an Edelbrock dual-quad induction setup and MSD ignition components, and additional modifications include air conditioning, a Custom Autosound cassette stereo, an Alpine CD stereo, power windows, aftermarket gauges, traction bars, 17″ Coys wheels, and front disc brakes.
Originally finished in white, the body was refinished in red, reportedly as part of the 1997 refurbishment. Equipment includes stainless moldings, dual exhaust outlets, tail fins, and a concealed fuel filler above the left taillight.
Chrome-finished 17″ Coys wheels are mounted with 225/60 front and 275/50 rear Nitto NT555 tires. A front anti-sway bar and rear traction bars are installed, and braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
The interior was re-trimmed during the refurbishment and features gray vinyl and red cloth upholstery on the bench seats as well as coordinated door panels and red carpeting. An aftermarket air conditioning system and aftermarket power windows are installed along with a Custom Autosound cassette stereo unit in the dash and an Alpine CD stereo unit mounted beneath the dash.
The trunk is trimmed to match the interior, and the upholstered panels conceal a fire extinguisher, an Optima battery, and a Pioneer amplifier.
The Lecarra steering wheel frames aftermarket instrumentation consisting of a 120-mph speedometer with an inset tachometer along with gauges for fuel level, water temperature, voltage, and oil pressure. The digital odometer indicates 9k miles, which is said to be the distance driven since the 1990s refurbishment.
The 383ci stroker V8 was installed in 1997 according to the seller, and it is topped with an Edelbrock intake manifold and dual four-barrel carburetors. Additional equipment includes an aluminum radiator, polished accessories, an MSD ignition control module, and coated exhaust headers that feed into a dual exhaust system.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission.
