Overview of 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

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.

Engine

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.

2016 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51 Convertible 2LT

For Sale
ASK: $46,298
Miles: 93,833
Estimated: $465.83/mo

The seventh-generation Chevrolet Corvette Stingray marked a major evolution of America's iconic sports car, introducing a more aggressive design, advanced performance technology, and a refined driving experience without abandoning its traditional V8-powered, rear-wheel-drive character. This 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51 Convertible 2LT, showing approximately 93,833 miles, is finished in the iconic Torch Red exterior color over a Jet Black interior. Beneath its sculpted hood sits a naturally aspirated 6.2L LT1 V8 producing 460 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission. What makes this example particularly appealing is its combination of the Z51 Performance Package and optional Magnetic Selective Ride Control, delivering enhanced handling capabilities while maintaining the comfort expected of a grand touring sports car. Its striking exterior is accented by staggered black aluminum wheels, red brake calipers, a Carbon Flash hood stinger stripe, and matching Carbon Flash exterior details. The well-equipped 2LT interior adds premium amenities, while desirable factory options such as the Performance Data and Video Recorder and Chevrolet MyLink navigation system further enhance the driving experience. With its power-operated convertible top, unmistakable small-block V8 soundtrack, and extensive selection of factory performance options, this C7 Stingray offers an enticing combination of open-air excitement, modern technology, and traditional Corvette performance.

1998 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

For Sale
ASK: $13,299
Miles: 219,621
Estimated: $124.22/mo

The 1998 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 marked a major turning point for Chevrolet's legendary pony car, introducing the aluminum-block LS1 V8 and bringing a new level of performance to the fourth-generation F-body platform. Finished in Arctic White over Dark Gray, this particular Z28 stands out with an extensive engine and drivetrain rebuild performed by LSxperts at approximately 198,000 miles. According to the current owner, the entire drivetrain was rebuilt, including engine reboring, returning the mechanical components to a refreshed condition approximately 21,000 miles ago. While the chassis shows approximately 219,621 miles, the rebuilt powertrain has accumulated only around 21,600 miles since the work was completed. Performance enhancements include a Brian Tooley Racing Stage 1 camshaft kit, upgraded cooling components, a true dual glass-packed exhaust system, and dyno tuning to complement its modified LS1 powerplant. Paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, removable T-top roof panels, and factory 16-inch chrome aluminum wheels, it delivers the ingredients that made the LS-powered Camaro a favorite among American performance enthusiasts. Additional highlights include a customized audio system, ambient interior lighting, and available vehicle build documentation. For enthusiasts who appreciate naturally aspirated V8 performance, the involvement of a manual gearbox, and the extensive tuning potential of the LS platform, this Z28 offers an exciting combination of classic F-body character and a substantially refreshed drivetrain.
