Details

This '57 Chevy 2 door hardtop started life as a 210 and has been upgraded with all the Bel Air trim and moldings. This is a true rotisserie, nut-and-bolt restoration. The foundation is a custom chassis sporting Wilwood disc brakes on all four corners, 4-bar coilover suspension and a Ford 9' rear with 3.55 gears. Mini tubs allow room for the American Racing Wheels to fit in the back. Diamondbacks Tires made the retro whitewalls on the BFGoodrich radial tires. Motivating this beauty is a 355ci small block Chevy, outfitted with Comp Cams roller cam, lifters, pushrods, and rocker arms. Edelbrock supplied the aluminum heads and intake with dual quads, valve covers and air cleaner. MSD 6AL, coil and distributor handle the spark and the exhaust is routed through headers and 2.5' pipes. The engine is mated to a Richmond 5-speed manual transmission with a McLeod hydraulic clutch. A Flaming River power steering rack and Ididit steering column along with Vintage Air and a JBL sound system add a little luxury to the driving experience. The interior features a black leather ensemble stitched by Ciadella Interiors. Custom gauges, steering wheel and dash trim also beautify the inside. The exterior is finished in a custom variation of the classic Sierra Gold color mixed by RM Diamont. The shine is produced by SPI Universal Clear, with a foundation of their epoxy and primer. All new tinted glass, chrome and stainless finish this iconic beauty.
