Chevy's Bel Air is renowned as a fine Fifties American automobile for the discerning collector who also enjoys the bowtie marque. As the brand's full-size offering, the Bel Air saw life from 1950 to 1975 in the United States. This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Restomod is an excellent second-generation model that's restored, thanks to some tasty customizations, including a new heart. With 68,500 miles on the odometer, it's got so much more to give its new owner.
The frame-on restoration that reportedly happened on this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Restomod results in what you see in these pictures, a pleasing blue four-door with plenty of chrome to behold. This lovely car sits 2 inches lower and wears some attractively shiny five-spoke alloy wheels. You can tell that there's been plenty of attention when restoring the car, thanks to the near-perfect badging and clear lamp clusters. There's also a touch of blue humor dangling beneath the rear bumper that we'll let the pictures expose, further highlighting the car's cheeky side endowed by its new motor. Inside, there's a black and gray interior that'll comfortably seat five occupants. Yes, this can be your family car and daily driver, although you might not want to drop the kids off at school in it unless you remove the indiscretion beneath the rear bumper first. We see some additional Sport-Comp gauges from the Autometer, including a prominent tach in the driver's line of sight. A hat tip must be given to the 'Bigfoot-style' throttle pedal as well. The period radio in the dash looks like a vintage push-button unit but is actually a modern iteration with Bluetooth connectivity.
This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Restomod bears a new 355ci ZZ4 V8 crate motor under its hood, no doubt endowing it with oodles of cheeky power. One firm stomp on that Bigfoot throttle pedal, and you can nicely smoke the rear tires as the drive goes through a Turbo 400 automatic transmission and Posi .356 rear end from a '69 Camaro. You've also got power steering and disc brakes on all four wheels to complete the handling and braking package. The gas tank and the battery are now in the trunk as well.
