Absolutely stunning car. The looks are off the charts, quality is high and it has all the features you want! EXTERIOR: This is a sexy, sexy 57 Bel Air 2 door hardtop. The tropical turquoise paint is slick as glass. The body is laser straight, the gaps all line up like a new Mercedes. Even with the windows up, the doors click shut. The little flippers on top work. Every single piece of stainless and chrome trim has been restored... to show condition, I mean every piece. The stainless moldings are polished like chrome. Every piece of chrome is new. The brushed inserts on the 1/4 panels, gold emblems and frames, chrome frames around the windows all are show quality. All new smoked glass. Door jambs are painted just as glossy as the outside, weather strips and window seals are new. The stance is perfect. The 17 inch chrome wheels are the cherry on top.

New mirror, window cranks, door handles, armrests. The dash is painted just as slick as the exterior and all the chrome trim has been replaced, it sparkles. It's been updated with some nice digital gauges and a tilt column with a leather wrapped steering wheel. There's a retro stereo with 6x9 speakers in the rear deck and speakers in the kick panels. The heat and air controls look original but are all new electronic instead of cables. Has new power windows that zip right up. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: GM Ramjet 350-345 hp crate motor.
