Chevrolet Bel Air (1957) for Sale in NJ

This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-Door Hardtop is a rare, numbers-matching classic. Powering this Bel Air is its original 245-horsepower 283ci V8 equipped with dual four-barrel carburetors, paired to a GM 700R4 automatic transmission, with the original Powerglide also included. Factory numbers and date codes match on the engine, distributor, fuel lines, and accessories, while a Pertronix electronic ignition and electric fuel pump have been tastefully added for reliability. The engine bay is accented by a “bat wing” air cleaner, meticulously maintained and included in the sale. The body has seen a single, factory-correct repaint performed with all trim, interior, and glass removed, and all sheet metal is original. Interior upgrades include carefully reupholstered seats and headliner in original-style materials, while factory power steering and power front disc brakes have been added for modern drivability. The cabin retains its original charm, including the glove box, AM/FM CD stereo. Mechanically, the car rides on a mostly stock rear suspension with modern gas shocks and a front setup featuring 2-inch drop spindles, new bushings, and an anti-sway bar. Wheels have been tastefully upgraded to clear the front calipers, retaining ’57 Chevrolet 210 hubcaps with chrome beauty rings, and all four original powder-coated wheels are included in show-quality condition. The trunk holds a factory spare and black rubber mat, along with stickers documenting past events.
