If you have a deep appreciation for classic automobiles, the Chevrolet Bel Air needs no introduction. In the annals of automotive history, the second generation of the Bel Air earned the moniker "The Hot One," becoming an iconic symbol of popular culture during the 1950s. The embodiment of that extraordinary era in automotive design, the 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air 2-Door Sedan, commands attention with its elongated tailfins, V-shaped hood, and an expanded grille adorned with a gold-painted mesh. Following a recent service in October 2023, this classic masterpiece is now available for sale, boasting the formidable LS1 V8 engine beneath its hood and a remarkably low mileage of just 3,440 miles since its restoration.
Cloaked in a resplendent Ferrari Red finish, the panels of this 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air 2-Door Sedan are further enhanced with gleaming chrome accents. It proudly rests on 15-inch polished aluminum wheels that house power disc brakes, exuding an air of sophistication. A peek beneath the chassis reveals a meticulously powder-coated frame, complemented by rear coilovers and ladder bars that ensure impeccable stability. The subtle side-exit exhaust discreetly emerges in front of the rear tires, hinting at the potent power within. Inside, the gray tweed interior of this 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air 2-Door Sedan showcases both front and rear bench seats. As you settle into the cabin, your gaze is drawn to the digital dashboard before you. However, it's the Classic 57 steering wheel that captivates your attention, while the updated Chevrolet audio system stands ready to provide your favorite tunes. Should you decide to explore the trunk, you'll find the continuation of the grey tweed theme, seamlessly tying together the interior aesthetics.
As previously mentioned, the heart of this 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air 2-Door Sedan is an LS1 350ci V8 engine, paired with a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission and coupled to an Art-Carr shifter and shift kit. It boasts a 2,800 RPM stall converter, Ford 9” Summers Brothers axles, and a 3.08:1 Posi-traction rear axle. The engine features a four-bolt main block with a compression ratio of 9.8:1, forged steel rods, pressed pins, a dual overhead camshaft with four valves per cylinder, a 3.48 Stroker Roller cam with 480 Lift/235 duration, and Corvette aluminum angel plug 1.94” heads. This powerhouse is equipped with an Edelbrock 780 carburetor on an aluminum high-rise manifold, an MSD distributor ignition and coil, an oversized cooling fan, and a 5-quart baffled Z28 oil pan. Ensuring safety and convenience, a trunk-mounted 17-gallon fuel cell completes this formidable package.

One of the Bowtie’s most recognizable nameplates in its storied history is the Bel Air. The Chevrolet Bel Air was a full-size car introduced in 1950, moving from a trim level to a fully fledged model. 1961 saw the introduction of an all-new body style for the Bel Air, most notably identified by the sedan’s large wrap-around rear window vs the hardtop’s different roof line. Our featured car has a reported 36,134 miles on it and is powered by a 283ci V8 engine. All maintenance is reportedly up to date, making this classic Chevy a particularly desirable example.
In the pantheon of American classic cars, the Chevrolet Bel Air stands out for a number of reasons. The Bel Air is instantly recognizable, with lashings of chrome, those oh-so ’50s fins, and, in the case of our featured vehicle, an unforgettable two-door hardtop silhouette. The 1957 Chevrolet Belair Two Door Hardtop is as American as an old-school diner, and it’s sure to win the hearts of passersby. Our featured car comes with a 283ci V8 engine under the hood, and all maintenance is reported to be up to date. If you’re looking for the perfect way to turn back the clock and experience old-school American classic cars, this 1957 Chevrolet Belair Two Door Hardtop is undoubtedly one of the best experiences out there.
One of the most popular classic cars is the Chevy Bel Air. Introduced in 1950 and named after the stylish Bel Air neighborhood of Los Angeles, the Bel Air was Chevy’s full-size offering until 1981. Today, the Bel Air has proved itself to be a worthy classic, as well as an excellent restomod platform. Take this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Coupe Restomod as a prime example. The car has undergone a full restoration, which was concluded in December 2020. Moreover, it’s got a more potent engine with just 4,000 miles on it, plus some interior and exterior niceties.
Considering an eighth generation Corvette? We don’t blame you; Chevy’s sweetheart sports car is now a fearsome, baby supercar chaser. With its fighter-jet looks, mid-mounted V8, and capable handling, the C8 is a serious driver’s car. Yet, when you need, it can be as docile as a pussycat, as comfortable as any other car, and can even perform daily driving duties without so much as a grumble. That’s got to be reason enough to give this 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible 3LT Z51 70th Anniversary Edition a new home. Want another reason? The car’s got under 3,000 miles on it. If you’re still on the fence, let us tell you a bit about this car.
Chevy’s fourth generation Corvette ran between 1984 and 1996, and was responsible for a major shift in America’s favorite sports car’s persona. The Corvette gained new, angular styling, a digital-style dashboard, more power, and enhanced handling. Mercifully, the much-loved pop-up headlamps were retained. Then, a high-performance variant called the ZR1 was introduced in 1990. The ZR1 drew heavily from Britain’s Lotus sports car maker. Enhancements included a new LT5 V8 engine, larger brakes and sportier suspension tuning. This makes the fourth-generation ZR1 one of the most sought-after neo-classic Corvettes. Here’s a great example up for grabs right now, a 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with just 69,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a rebuilt engine, while all info is as reported by the current owner.
The fifth generation Corvette was revealed in 1997, and would run until 2005. It is the last generation to have the pop-up headlamps, which were discontinued with 2005’s C6 due to inability to meet newer crash regulations. That’s why C5 Corvettes command a special place in the hearts of enthusiasts. That, plus the fact that the C5 has some neat engineering. For example, the transmission is at the rear of the car, coupled to the front-mounted engine via a torque tube that turns at engine speed. This arrangement enables the C5 to achieve the magic 50-50 front-rear weight distribution, vastly improving its handling over the C4. This, plus myriad other upgrades, makes the C5 a definitive future classic, as well as a sports car that you can still enjoy in 2024. So why not jump on the bandwagon of fun and buy this 2000 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible? This car comes with recent servicing, two keys, and 56,067 miles on the odometer.
With Jaguar Cars recently rebranding to mixed reactions from auto enthusiasts, it’s a great time to remind ourselves of their greatest hits from the past. One of these is the XJS grand tourer. Produced between 1975 and 1996, the XJS is widely regarded as one of the most iconic Jags ever made. Its flying buttresses and grunty V12 engine all make for a superb driving experience, and one heck of a weekend cruiser. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 1992 Jaguar XJS V12. The car has covered 94,231 miles so far, and has reportedly undergone some recent maintenance.
