1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Coupe

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Old school meets new! It’s a classic 1957 Chevy Bel Air all right, one of the most iconic American automobiles ever, well-restored inside and out. Underneath, the Art Morrison GT Sport chassis features four-wheel coil-over suspension, power rack-and-pinion steering, and four-wheel power disc brakes with drilled rotors. Morrison claims their chassis features a stable roll center, contemporary stance, improved camber control, and optimum ground clearance that delivers contemporary driving dynamics. Then add a Chevrolet Performance Ram Jet 350 cu-in powerplant producing 351 HP backed by a four-speed automatic transmission. Inside, the tastefully upgraded interior features a chrome tilt steering column, Classic Instruments speedometer and gauges, Vintage Air climate control, and four-speaker sound. This is another classic Chevy Bel Air from The Roger Boman Collection packed with attention to detail, like the billet interior hardware and the trunk-mounted battery housed in a “Genuine Chevrolet” cooler. School was never this much fun!
