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.

The first Generation Chevrolet Camaro was nothing short of iconic. Fast-forward to today, and you have multiple iterations of an iconic muscle car. Some choose a full-on custom build to stand out, while others prefer the old-fashioned way. Present today is the latter, which takes the form of this lovely 1969 Chevrolet Camaro. This factory-clean example has been lovingly used and preserved. The current owner reports that the car comes with receipts from 1984 detailing its journey.

The 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible is a timeless classic that will forever dazzle this world with its legendary design and rich history. The success of this first generation Mustang is also the reason why the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird and Dodge Challenger were brought to life; these were truly the golden days of the Ford Mustang, asserting itself as the main player in the new “pony” car market. With only a total of 72,119 convertible units produced in 1966, it makes this model quite rare compared to the coupe and fastback models. The iconic pony's interior makes this particular example even more rare, with embossed running horses on the seatbacks, a five-gauge instrument cluster, and deluxe door panels with wood-grain accents. Clocking a total of just 33,000 miles on the odometer, this 1966 Ford Mustang is the perfect machine to cruise around with the convertible top down.
Ford’s epic Mustang was one of the headline cars of the Sixties. Debuting in 1964, it created the pony car segment and can be considered responsible for many automotive icons that followed in its wake. That’s why owning a first generation Mustang is a bucket list item for countless American enthusiasts. If you’re one of those, we’ve got a 1972 Ford Mustang up for sale right now. Packing a relatively light 61,000 miles on the odometer, this car is said to have been fully restored. Hence, it’s basically a turn-key classic that you can enjoy from the very start of your ownership journey.
