1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible

VEHICLE SUMMARY

• Genuine VC-Code V8 Convertible: Authentic 1957 Bel Air V8 Convertible preserved in a private North Carolina collection for over 30 years.

• Rare Factory Coronado Yellow (Paint Code 803): High-tier, six-figure quality restoration in its ultra-desirable factory color over a yellow and silver vinyl interior (Trim 682).

• 283ci Dual-Quad V8 & 3-Speed Manual: Period-correct 283ci V8 equipped with dual 4-barrel carburetors paired with a 3-speed column-shifted manual transmission.

• Iconic Tri-Five Accessories: Fitted with a rear continental kit, rear fender skirts, and classic steel wheels with chrome hubcaps.

• Stored Time Capsule: Under 300 total miles logged since the restoration was finalized.

CONDITION & KNOWN QUIRKS (READ BEFORE BUYING)

• Mechanical Re-Commissioning Needed: Vehicle fires up and drives, but runs rough and requires final carburetor tuning and fluid service to be road-ready after long-term static display (carbs recently rebuilt).

• Convertible Top & Window Alignment: Convertible top operates manually. Door glass tracking needs adjustment, and the passenger rear quarter window frame is split.

• Electrical Quirks: Wipers, heater blower motor, and temp gauge are non-functional. Reverse lights stay illuminated continuously with the ignition on. Radio outputs static.

• Tires: Tires are older and require replacement prior to highway driving.
