The ’57 Chevy Bel Air is a car that requires no introduction. A timeless icon, it has aged flawlessly and has become one of the most sought-after Chevys of all time. If someone mentioned that they had a 50s Chevy convertible, this is almost certainly the first car that would appear in most people's minds. The 1957 General Motors products are heralded as arguably some of the most elegant cars of the 50s, being in the sweet spot where designers had started to come up with more flamboyant designs but just before the “bigger is better” policy was fully implemented. Three-quarters of a century later, this design still manages to be just as popular as it was on the day it was launched. What we have here is a restomod that largely preserves the appearance of the car that it’s much famed for, while also giving it many modern conveniences. It has undergone a frame-off restoration and has reportedly scored 994 out of 1000 points at the Classic Chevy Show.
Bright reds, glossy greens and pastel shades of pink are always commonly associated with the '50s. This classic red exterior suits the car perfectly and is reportedly from the Porsche color palette. It also complements the custom Saddle leather interior (which also includes a Saddle-tinged steering wheel around a tilting column). Among the upgrades done to the interior are a modern air conditioning system, a modern audio system (with a glovebox-mounted custom Autosound head unit that bumps integrated Pioneer speakers, and a hidden custom Autosound CD changer), power windows and a Saddle convertible top (matching the upholstery color). It wasn’t just the steering wheel that was changed, with the system itself being upgraded to a Concept One power steering system. This car has also reportedly been fitted with modern Raingear wipers and remote keyless entry. The visual upgrades aren’t just limited to the interior. For example, the louvers and the Bel Air logos are gold, and those shiny alloys are 17-inch Foose Nitrous wheels. These upgrades continue under the hood as well, with a chromed alternator, serpentine system, and AC compressor.
Back in 1957, this car was available with a choice of a straight 6 and a 283ci small block V8 (shared with the Corvette of the era), combined with either a 3-speed manual, a 2 speed Powerglide or 3 speed Turboglide automatic. This particular car, however, has been extensively worked on. It’s fitted with a 5.7L LS1 whose power is transferred to the wheels through a 4L60E 4 speed automatic transmission, and whose voice is heard through Flowmaster mufflers with Borla exhaust tips. Mind you, this isn’t just any LS1 either; it has an aluminum block, cylinder heads and flat top pistons, ceramic-coated shorty headers, Coil-Near-Plug Ignition and GM Electronic Fuel Injection. Underneath, this car has also been fitted with Monrow Sensa-Trac shocks at all 4 corners and tubular control arms up front to help it get around corners better. And if you’re worried about how the original brake system would handle this added power, rest assured, it has been upgraded to four-wheel Wilwood disk brakes.

With a name lifted from the swish neighborhood of Bel Air, Los Angeles, the Chevrolet Bel Air was a full-size Chevy that ran from 1950 to 1975 in the United States, across seven generations. Today, a Bel Air is a nice way to get into American classic car ownership. They are relatively easy to maintain and source parts for, come with V8s and automatic transmissions in later iterations, and represent the typical Fifties American automobile that dotted our roads back then. Up for sale today is this fine 1953 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe from Oak Grove, Missouri. The car has just 3,501 miles and comes with some features of note such as a 350ci V8 and aftermarket wheels. As we delve deeper into this car’s essence, we find more resto-mod features, making it something that will be easily driven on a regular basis.
This 1983 Chevrolet El Camino combines the practicality of a pickup with the driving character of a classic muscle car, now enhanced with a performance-focused drivetrain. Showing 120,885 miles, this example has been modified with a 383ci stroker V8, giving the iconic car-truck platform substantially more performance than its factory configuration. The El Camino has long been appreciated for its unique blend of coupe styling and pickup utility, and this example builds on that legacy with a series of aftermarket upgrades that enhance both its performance and driver engagement.
This 1935 Chevrolet Tudor Sedan has been thoughtfully transformed into a modern street rod while preserving the timeless character of Chevrolet’s pre-war design. Originally produced during a period when streamlined styling and improved engineering were redefining American automobiles, the 1935 Chevrolet featured graceful fender lines, a tall chrome grille, and elegant proportions. This example retains its all-original steel body but benefits from extensive mechanical and cosmetic upgrades, creating a classic cruiser that combines vintage style with contemporary performance. Finished in a gray and silver exterior with red pinstriping, this Tudor sedan blends traditional hot rod aesthetics with modern reliability and comfort.
One of Chevy’s most popular compacts of the Sixties and Seventies, cars like this 1972 Chevrolet Nova Restomod ruled the roost of sporty small cars. They were available in frugal six-cylinder form, or with small-block V8s under the hood. Today’s car, however, is a build like no other. It rocks a mammoth 454ci V8 under the hood, driving the rear wheels through a TH-350 automatic gearbox. A 2.5-inch aftermarket exhaust ensures that everyone hears the rumble of the big V8 as you streak by in a flash of burnt orange, riding upon REV 109 classic Magnum 15-inch wheels. You’ll even get dual four-point harnesses which are currently not installed, in case you want to take this Nova to a track or strip.
Here’s a chance that’s not very likely to come every day. This 1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R could be yours if you’d like to own one of the Eighties and Nineties JDM cult heroes that most petrolheads lust after in their dreams. This heavily-modified car packs an RB26 single-turbo built motor, a sleek black outlook and 62,148 miles on the clock. Coming from the fine R32 generation, it’s also got a very distinctive shape to its two-door coupe body. Don’t worry about this car being right-hand drive; you’ll quicky get used to it.
Now here’s one for those who seek a classic Mustang in cruiser style. This beautifully restored 1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop comes to you from Hot Springs Village, in all its Wimbledon White glory. The vehicle has got over 120,000 miles on its 200ci straight six, and features a 3-speed automatic transmission as well. This makes it great for those who can’t drive stick, or haven’t done so in a long time. We’re told that the car drives exceptional, with no rust, plus everything on the vehicle is fully functional. With over 550,000 Mustangs sold in 1965, finding one isn’t hard, but finding one in great shape like this is rather less conducive. So if you want to get this car for yourself, don’t waste any time in contacting our team.
