Frame-Off Restored '57 Bel Air Restomod 6.0L LS V8 Automatic A/C Coilovers ///
Few cars capture postwar American design like Chevrolet's Tri-Five, and this 1957 Bel Air reimagines that legacy with modern performance and subtle refinement. Finished in glossy Imperial Ivory, its straight, well-detailed body proves that restraint can be more striking than flash. The finish highlights the car's natural lines, complemented by gold Bel Air badging, polished bumpers, stainless trim, and the unmistakable tailfins that define the model's silhouette. Power comes from a 6.0L LS V8 with aluminum 862 heads, a fabricated intake, billet throttle body, and stainless headers feeding a full dual exhaust. The setup delivers dependable power with a clean, well-organized presentation under the hood. A 4L60E automatic and 10-bolt rear pair with a Scott's Hotrods chassis featuring tubular control arms, Aldan coilovers, a 4-link rear, Wilwood four-wheel discs, and power rack-and-pinion steering. Inside, black and white houndstooth TMI upholstery gives the cabin a tailored look, joined by Dakota Digital gauges, Vintage Air, and a Custom Autosound stereo with Bluetooth connectivity. Billet Specialties wheels, 18x7 up front and 20x10 in the rear, complete the stance with purpose. This Bel Air wasn't built to chase trophies or trends. It's a refined, well-executed driver that honors its heritage while standing firmly in the present. The essence stayed the same. The execution moved forward.
