1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad RESTO-MOD

The last of the Tri-Five Chevrolets introduced several changes, including the large tailfins, "twin rocket" hood design, even more chrome, tri-color paint and a choice from no less than seven different V8 engines. While in 1957, Ford outsold Chevrolet for the first time in a great while, years later the used 1957 Chevrolets would sell for hundreds more than their Ford counterparts. As the horsepower race continued, Chevrolet introduced a new version of their small block, with 283 cubic inches of displacement and 245 horsepower. They also introduced a limited number of Rochester fuel injected 283 engines that produced 283 horsepower, the first production engine to achieve 1 horsepower per cubic inch. For all intent and purposes, this made the 1957 Bel Air a "hot rod", right off the production line. It was available with manual transmission only. The base 265cid engine saw an increase from 170 to 185 horsepower as well. While not as popular as the previous year's offering, Chevrolet still managed to sell 1.5 million cars in 1957. Even now, the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is one of the most sought after collector cars ever produced. No need to skimp on the details with this one. Inside and out this car is like a new car, not meaning restored. But better than that, this is a restomod. The zz350 engine has the power you need, the Disc brakes stop you when you need it, and tilt column for that extra comfort. Lets not forget the necessary upgrades like Power windows, Wipers, brakes, and steering. Only the best parts were purchased for all of the above. This is not 1950’s technology, and we don’t let it sit either. So far it has 2800 miles since the full frame off restoration and it will have more as time passes.
