This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible is powered by a 283ci V8 equipped with Rochester fuel injection paired with a three-speed manual transmission. The car is finished in Matador Red over a two-tone interior, and additional features include a white convertible top, fender skirts, a Continental kit, and spinner-style wheel covers as well as a cabin heater, a cassette radio, and power steering.
Equipped with Rochester mechanical fuel injection, the 283ci V8 was rated by Chevrolet at 283 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque for the 1957 model year. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. A dual exhaust system is installed.
The body was previously finished in black, and it was repainted in its current Matador Red. Styling touches include an integrated front bumper and grille, twin windsplits mounted atop the hood, front-fender chevrons and fuel-injection badging, gold anodized trim, and ribbed-aluminum tail-fin inserts.
Additional features include a white convertible top and body-color rear fender skirts. Painted steel wheels wear three-eared hubcaps and 14″ BFGoodrich Silvertown whitewall tires. A spare is located in the rear bumper-mounted Continental kit. The car is equipped with power steering.
The cabin features front and rear benches reupholstered in red vinyl with silver patterned inserts. Equipment includes a cabin heater, an analog clock, an aftermarket cassette radio, and Bel Air-branded floor mats.
The two-spoke steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer flanked by engine-temperature and fuel-level gauges.
The five-digit odometer shows 56k miles.
