For more information on this vehicle visit tinyurl.com/9u2...
If you tried to score your dream car last time around but, like many other crazed tri-five fans, called just a little too late, here's a chance to claim one of the nicest Bel Air convertibles we've ever seen!
The correct GM code 799 Tropical Turquoise paint on this mac daddy tri-five is amazingly nice, and it looks both epic and natural contrasting the car's luxurious two-tone innards and miles of stainless trim. Of course, the foundation for all that visual flash is a laser-straight body which fosters proper panel alignment, displays even gaps and virtually defines the word flawless. And the depth of the car's finish is remarkable thanks to hours of block sanding, an equal amount of wet sanding and a thorough buffing.
Lift this classic's brightly hued hood and you'll find a 283 cubic inch Super Turbo Fire V8 which wears a high lift, fuel injected 283 V8 (EK) assembled in Flint, Michigan (F) on September (09) 21st (2I) 1957 build stamp above a correct 1957-specific 3731548 casting number. With the help of its Ramjet closed loop mechanical fuel injection system, this hot small block makes an astonishing one horsepower per cubic inch, creates a stout 305 lb./ft. of torque; and even in today's world of 300 horsepower grocery getters, is still considered both quick and impressive. That tagged Rochester fuel injection system, which inhales through one of the biggest air cleaners ever devised, bolts to a Winter aluminum intake that's seated in familiar Chevy Orange paint. At the sides of that intake, stamped and silver detailed Chevrolet valve covers hang over fully restored cast iron exhaust manifolds that are piped into a factory correct exhaust system. Behind that intake, a traditional points distributor shoots fire through fresh AC Delco Premium Wires that are neatly loomed down the sides of the block. And in front of that intake, a correctly tagged radiator circulates coolant through fresh GM branded hoses and authentic metal squeeze clamps.
Underneath this razor-sharp drop-top a stunningly straight and smooth X-frame chassis is finished in flawless satin black paint and, when viewed next to the car's plethora of clean suspension parts, looks so nice you'll swear it's floated down less than 10 miles of country black top. Above that top notch chassis, solid red floorpans sport a chip-free coat of what appears to be traditional oxide primer. And behind the engine a sturdy 3-speed manual transmission, which wears an application-correct 3845122 Saginaw casting number and a June (F) 6th (6) of 1957 (7) casting date, twists power through a fully rebuilt factory rear end. Holding that road ready powertrain in place is a fully-sorted suspension which is equipped with manual steering and rebuilt to factory specifications. Short, confident stops come courtesy of rugged four wheel drum brakes. At the center of the floor, a factory replacement exhaust system sends spent gases through spotless, mandrel bent pipes and sonorous turbo mufflers. And putting the power to the pavement is a correct set of 14 inch Turquoise wheels which spin classy 8.00-14 BF Goodrich Silvertown white walls around pristine Chevrolet hubcaps.
The correct GM code 680 Ivory and Turquoise interior stitched inside this Bel Air is just what you'd expect in a classic of this caliber, and there's hardly any sign that any human being has ever been seated behind the car's steering wheel. The rebuilt front and rear bench seats are all-day comfortable and feature supple, stainless trimmed hides that fit well and feel great. Beneath those seats, upgraded Turquoise carpet is protected by heavy duty color-keyed floor mats. On the doors, two-tone panels look great behind pristine stainless trim, body-matched door toppers and chrome door and window handles. And front and center, a curvaceous dash is detailed with traditional tri-five stainless, a familiar bowtie branded gauge cluster and what appears to be an original AM radio.
There simply can't be many tri-fives out there that are nicer or cooler than this car. Call, click or visit RKMotorsCharlot... today for more information on this awesome Fuelie!
