@pepperkitty I wouldn't know, they aren't there any longer. It was Cindy Street in Ocean, NJ, across from the Jaguar service center and next to a cabinet store.
@AvenueD417 Yeah, funny how the nose and trunk make em look big - the back seat has very little leg room and with the stock steering wheel, my knee hits it every time I shift...
@tommynights you guys did an excellent job on this car though, these things are icons of the 50's. i like how it was kept with the sleeper look. stock appearance with dangerous power. thumbs up
Out of curiosity, what does it cost (I know this is a broad target) to restore a Bel Air? I would love to buy one and have it professionally fixed up..
@nldekker For a car in decent shape, expect to pay 30-40 grand. A show car is about 70-100 grand. Mine is about in the middle of the two. If you get a rusto-rod and do it yourself, expect to pay a lot in unexpected repairs.
@nldekker o be honest with you man if you cant fix cars take your money go learn how to because the price of that n the cost to restore one your self will be less then to get one professionaly restored n i mean ALOT less
I`ve always wanted a 57 belair since i was 5 right when i saw one now im twelve my mom says shit in one hand and want in the other see witch one gets ful first
@wuzup1023 My mom said "save your money" and I did for 25 years, finally got it! You can do anything you set your mind to, sometimes it just takes a long time, but it is so worth it in the end. Good luck!
@tommynights it looks nice it was blinding on the video a friend of mine has one of these, 4 door though but he used to race it until he wrecked it. had a 454 blown it was an awesome car. thats about all i know about it. he wrecked it and than took it apart so.
@101superGLEEK Start saving now, a little out of everything you earn; that's how I did it. I had the same dream when I was your age and was 37years old when I finally got one. Good luck!
Not my kind of car, but my grandfather owned one. I promised myself that after medical school I would buy one for my dad, candy apple red, just like the one from his childhood.
@RoninAvenger -driven weekly, sometimes hundreds of miles to shows, your profile lists your occupation as wizard??? I'm betting my 57 sees more daylight than you mr. dungeonmaster.
This is one of the best cams I ever heard ..Definetely sounds like Horses Galloping dow nthe street!!! Can you tell me what Brand Cam and the specs?? Want to set up my 454 to sound the same way!!! Greatly Appreciated!!!!
@jingelsby It's a comp cam, custom grind with altered rocker ratio - about .570 lift - I would step it down a little for streetability and go with a mother thumper. Right now I idle around 1000, not great for cruising/mileage, but it does really wake up at 2500 and run strong to the 6500 rev limiter.
@4freespeech Orig motor was totally shot from some backyard mechanic who thought he knew how to rebuild it, and they (283) were notorious leakers anyway. It runs plenty fine with the 4speed muncie and 3.70 rear, although it does like fuel, but I wasn't looking for a daily driver. As for keeping orig, the suspension and brakes HAD to be replaced with modern stuff - without which the car was a death trap, I respect your opinion, but I had to go with my dream of an old school rod.
@4freespeech you know its sad seeing this shit done to the cars like that my grandfather had a 57 2dr hardtop baby blue that was a beast he could tape a 100 dollar bill to the dash and floor it your couldn't grab the money it was crankin over 600 hp he had a 327 delivered and right off the bad tore it down polished bored and stroked out to 377 micky tompson pistons everything on roller bearings it was HOT
@4freespeech it just shows your a pussy and that your too scared of power. either that or your a jew. if i had that car. i wouldnt give a shit filling up petrol. it'd be worth it. the dollar in australia is like $1.40 a litre. so that'd probs be over 100 dollars a tank and id probably still spend it if i had that bel air.
mi\y grandpas is all original mid condition and never got restored the only thing changed was the convertibal hood he got one off a old bug.good car tho
I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree
@sandrochatlos1 No, wipers are cable driven, but really don't cut it; I'll probably change to a direct arm driven unit. Cam is too extreme to run vacuum driven or assisted items without a pump.
@tommynights when you cam the chevy 350 what other mods do you have to do to the engine besides the normal things you do when you cam a motor such as valve springs, pushrods, rockers etc etc
@Bishn0zle Not sure what you are asking, but I went with worked 64cc Dart pro1 alum. heads w/ 200cc intake runners to flow more, 2.02/1.60 valves, rollers, Scat crank, balanced everything, decked, align honed, Speed pro pistons, hastings rings, Eagle I beam rods, screw-in studs/guide plates, chromemoly push rods, ARP bolts, MSD 6AL with rev limiter, hi-perf oil pump and water pump, crossflow radiator, etc...
@arboldin yup, no cars today have character. just 60 years ago there were basically no imports on our streets. Now everywhere I turn I see the retarded Honda "H" or that hideous freakish Toyota T thing they call an emblem. Take a look at a car from the Jet-age, they scream uniqueness and style. Nothing on them was boring, bigger was better.
'57 is still the definition of Rock n Roll on wheels. They'll be pictures of these cars in grade school text books 200 years from now...if they still have books then.
my dad and i are workin on a 57 its commin out great i cant wait til its fully restored ive been workin on it since i was 7 now im 14 were gona get it runnin soon
@theDead64 love to see it when it's done - my dad still helps me and gives advice on my car builds. He started teaching me at about the same age as you. I'm 41 now and building a 32 Ford 5 window, hope my 3 y.o. girl will grow to enjoy cars as much as we do!
hot damn listen to then pistons fire off!!..that engine is well done,thumbs up to you guys..and talk about a sleeper..that 57 aint no joke hahaha i love it!!
With the 4 speed and 3.70 rear, I get about 8-10 mpg if I don't get on it. I agree FI would work well, but I wanted a nostalgia-ish hot rod flair to this one. Maybe next car...
Thanks, I added a Moser rear with Detriot True-track and 3.70 gears this year, along with Wilwood disc brakes all around. Hope to finish my 32 Ford soon and post some videos.
Some nice additions for sure.A 32 as well.Some seriuos HP to wieght ratios there.Planning big block or small ?.Look forward the videos.I am doing the sport compact thing right now but the group i cruise with is a great varity of different rides.from my turbo four to a bad ass SVT cobra.We enjoy each others cars as true car guys.Lots to learn from each other.I have always like the 57 out of many,especially the rare fuel injection.Good luck at finding one of those though.
Actually, he was inside the car and didn't see it, and what it has in the video is called an open differential for your info/reference. Limited slip as you refer to IS A FORM of posi rear, learn before YOU criticize. The current setup is now 9" Ford with Detroit truetrac 3rd member.
You are correct and I had a brain fart. I ment to say open rear. Either way the car pictured has a "open" rear and only 1 wheel will spin. Limited slip differentials are a form of posi-traction. I'm a old school hot rodder and had both kinds in my 55-57 chevys. 64 posi-units worked the best being only a 10 bolt setup.
Wrong again!! Open Diffs Do spin both wheels just not when theres resistence.Like Power brake/Brakestands believe me i got a Buick 350 with 2.56 and it still hauls azz!!!!!!!Gooodnite
An open rear will turn both wheels as long as both have solid traction. If either one looses traction then only one wheel will spin. They can alternate from one to the other but only one will spin. Have a nice day
i am crying tears of beauty right now. that is one amazing badass car! i have a 72 chevy cheyenne and im about to put a 350 chevy big block in it the engine thats in it right now sure does make it rumble, but its seen better days so im lookin at one 350 i had my eye on. ill try to post a vid

Who would take a classic like that and rip out the original drive train, which

Is this going to be run on a drag strip or race track, because you can't
drive 150 mph on the highways without ending up under the jail.
I had a 57 Chevy BelAir 2dr hdtp, jade green with the 283 4bbl power pack.
It would scratch off nicely and still got 25mpg on the highway. If you drive
one of those stock you will like it better. Its a REAL CAR.

Actually, he was inside the car and didn't see it, and what it has in the video is called an open differential for your info/reference. Limited slip as you refer to IS A FORM of posi rear, learn before YOU criticize. The current setup is now 9" Ford with Detroit truetrac 3rd member.

You are correct and I had a brain fart. I ment to say open rear. Either way the car pictured has a "open" rear and only 1 wheel will spin. Limited slip differentials are a form of posi-traction. I'm a old school hot rodder and had both kinds in my 55-57 chevys. 64 posi-units worked the best being only a 10 bolt setup.

Wrong again!! Open Diffs Do spin both wheels just not when theres resistence.Like Power brake/Brakestands believe me i got a Buick 350 with 2.56 and it still hauls azz!!!!!!!Gooodnite

An open rear will turn both wheels as long as both have solid traction. If either one looses traction then only one wheel will spin. They can alternate from one to the other but only one will spin. Have a nice day

Thanks - I did end up changing the wheels to 60's era Cragars, but overall, still looks the same and I can change back later if I want.

sspelletier 2 years ago
not sure what you mean, never said it was a big block - it's a 350 small block w/aluminum heads, dual carbs.

It doesn't even have a blower, there is no way a naturally aspirated small block can have that much horse buddy.
