Engine
Sitting peacefully beneath the hood of this car is a rebuilt 283ci motor. That is, of course, only until you turn on the ignition to get it going. The rumbling powerhouse produces 283hp out of the factory and in the case of our subject car, it is backed by a Powerglide automatic transmission. Further upgrades to the engine include power packs on heads.

Few American classics are as instantly recognizable as the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air, and this beautifully executed restomod combines its legendary styling with modern performance and reliability. Showing approximately 2,246 miles since completion, this Bel Air trades its original powertrain for a fuel-injected LS3 V8 backed by a 6-speed manual transmission, making it every bit as enjoyable to drive as it is to admire. Finished in black over a reupholstered gray and black interior, it also benefits from thoughtful upgrades such as Vintage Air climate control, front disc brakes, and numerous performance enhancements, creating an outstanding blend of timeless design and contemporary drivability.
