1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 Door Hardtop
VIN VC57B179977
What’s special about this listing
This 57 Bel Air coupe was my grandfather’s (a retired GM Employee of 35 years) pride and joy. He owned 100’s of classic Chevy’s over the years and about 10 Bel Airs. This was the nicest one he ever owned and we would take this car to car shows as much as he could.
She underwent a Professional full nut and bolt restoration in 2019 and has been driven about 4,000 miles since the restoration. The engine has been replaced with a 5.7L 350cu (GM57LG) starts right up, idles great and has plenty of power. She is a pleasure to drive with the 3 speed automatic transmission that performs flawlessly around town and cruises down the highway like a dream. The car has been retrofitted with front disc brakes. Everything else on the car is the way it would have come from the factory with the exception of a digital radio that looks like the factory radio.
The car is in incredible cosmetic and mechanical condition and could be driven across the country. Located in Lancaster PA and I have the title in hand.
