Exterior and Interior
The exterior of this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air takes a stunning orange color with white accents and is reported to be a new chrome exterior. Starting with the imposing grille, front bumper, chrome trim that runs the length of either side of the car, rear bumper, new mufflers, to even its wheels, the car is adorned in chrome all over. According to the seller, it now rides on 4 new tires and you can now enjoy the benefit of electric windshield wipers on this old timer, and also find a spare wheel conveniently stored in the trunk of this Chevy. Moving on to the interior of this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air, it is as good as new since it’s been re-upholstered. It now boasts power steering for stress free maneuvering. The sophisticated orange dash sports an upgraded Wonderbar radio player. This Bel Air also comes with a spare jack for emergencies.
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.
The 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is one of the most recognizable American cars ever built, but this example takes the familiar Tri-Five formula and gives it a much stronger performance edge. Showing approximately 8,660 miles, this 2-door sedan restomod pairs the unmistakable ‘57 Bel Air body with a 400ci V8, Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, five-speed manual transmission, and a long list of carefully chosen upgrades. Finished in red over a red and black interior, it blends classic Chevrolet styling with modernized drivability through power brakes, aftermarket air conditioning, upgraded instrumentation, and a more performance-focused chassis and exhaust setup.
This 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 4-Door Sedan captures the unmistakable style of Chevrolet’s Tri-Five era while adding a handful of tasteful mechanical upgrades for easier enjoyment. Showing approximately 68,866 miles, this example is powered by a 265ci “Turbo-Fire” V8 fitted with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and paired with a 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. Finished in Sierra Gold and Adobe Beige over a Copper and Beige interior, it retains the elegant two-tone presentation that helped define the Bel Air line. Full wheel covers, bright chrome exterior trim, and the classic four-door sedan body give it a period-correct presence, while upgraded induction, ignition, and charging components add a more usable edge.
This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe represents one of the most recognizable designs of the Tri-Five Chevrolet era, combining iconic styling with classic V8 performance. Powered by a 350ci V8 paired with a Powerglide automatic transmission, this Bel Air features a desirable combination of vintage character and select upgrades for improved drivability. Finished in black with a red/black interior, this coupe is equipped with period-correct features including power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, and classic Chevrolet wheel covers, while additional enhancements such as an aftermarket exhaust system, suspension setup, and sound system add to its appeal.
This 1972 Chevrolet El Camino is exactly the kind of machine that blurs the line between muscle car and utility vehicle in the best possible way. Showing approximately 11,474 miles, it pairs unmistakable A-body-era Chevrolet styling with a 350ci V8, 4-speed manual transmission, custom paint, and a collection of period-minded performance upgrades. The El Camino has always had a cult following because it gives you the long-hood, rear-drive attitude of a classic Chevelle with the added usefulness of a pickup bed, and this example leans into that personality with aftermarket Rally wheels, MSD ignition, headers, and a driver-focused cabin.
This 2002 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 SS Convertible represents the final model year of the fourth-generation Camaro, and this example combines the desirable WU8 SS Performance / Appearance Package with open-top cruising and LS1 power. Showing approximately 133,836 miles, it is finished in Bright Rally Red over a Neutral leather interior with a black convertible soft top. Factory SS equipment includes the composite hood with air scoop, forced-air induction, SS rear decklid spoiler, performance handling package, low-restriction dual-outlet exhaust, and Zexel-Torsen differential, while aftermarket wheels, an open-element air intake, smoked taillights, and red-painted brake calipers give this car a more personalized enthusiast look.
This 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 2LT Z51 is especially compelling for one simple reason: it shows just 790 miles. That exceptionally low mileage is paired with one of the strongest early-C8 configurations, combining Blade Silver Metallic paint, an Adrenaline Red interior, the Z51 Performance Package, Magnetic Selective Ride Control, front lift with memory, performance exhaust, and the Engine Appearance Package. Carbon Flash Metallic full-length dual racing stripes and bright red brake calipers add even more visual impact, making this a highly optioned and remarkably low-mile example of the first model year for the mid-engine Corvette.
