1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 5.7 Liter Coupe

Lift the hood, and you'll see another Chevy icon powering this legendary coupe. It's an LS1 V8 motor from a C5 Corvette. That means the fuel-injection callouts on the fender were not lying, and in fact, it's something much wilder than what most people will be expecting. After all, this bulletproof modern motor churned out 350 hp in the 'Vette, and since there's barely any miles on this whole custom build, we're willing to bet it hasn't lost its punch at all. In fact, the headers feeding the X-pipe dual exhaust means the right added power and rumble to this impressive setup. But power is only part of this unique package. It's a great mix of show-ready components that also add to its usability, including steel-braided lines, AN fittings, Wilwood master cylinder, and an aluminum radiator w/electric fans. The motor is mated to a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission that's great for performance kick-downs or all-day overdrive highway cruising. The undercarriage photos show how clean this full build is, and you'll also spot suspension upgrades, like the tubular front A-arms. Add in rack & pinion power steering, drilled & slotted four-wheel power disc brakes, and modern ZR-ratted tires, and this is a great car that can be driven all day before teaching lesser coupes a few lessons at night.
