1957 CHEVY BELAIR 502 BIG BLOCK

Up for sale is my 1957 chevy Belair 2 door Hardtop, started to build this car as a nice cruzer and it got out of control, have had plenty of fun with it but it’s time to move on a build a new car.

All the custom sheet metal was completed by myself including custom firewall, ustom trunk floor, Original rear inner wheel arches were widened to give you that original look, ll the custom engine bay and console are fabricated from aluminium.

This car was built with the highest quality components with no expense spared.

The engine started as a brand new ZZ502 crate engine and was completely striped down and we put in new comp cam, earings, ushrods, oller rockers, iming chain, atch ported heads, ndurashine airgap RPM manifold.

I have driven this car over 2500km and it still won gold for paint and top 3 Street machine at one of the biggest car shows in Australia..
