Description
1953 Chevrolet Bel Air pillarless hardtop built on a frame-off rotisserie restoration with approximately 4,000 miles since completion. It is powered by a Corvette LT1 350 fuel-injected V8 engine paired with a Corvette 4L60E automatic overdrive transmission. The engine is equipped with ceramic-coated headers, serpentine accessory drive system, aluminum valve covers, and upgraded cooling with aluminum radiator, electric fan, and Vintage Air conditioning components.

The chassis features a TCI Mustang II-style front suspension with tubular control arms, coilover shocks, sway bar, and rack and pinion steering. The rear setup includes a 3.42 posi rear gear configuration with a 2001 Chevrolet S10 rear axle. The braking system is upgraded to four-wheel disc brakes with a power-assisted setup, along with stainless exhaust and Flowmaster mufflers.

Exterior is finished in Sunset Orange Metallic with a contrasting satin black roof. The body is fully refinished with polished chrome, restored trim, tinted glass, and 17-inch chrome Cragar Street Pro wheels. The paint and bodywork are described as high-level driver-plus quality with minor imperfections.

Interior is fully restored with Dynamat sound deadening, new wiring harness, LeBaron Bonney-style upholstery, billet gauge cluster with white-face instruments, custom lower control panel for A/C system, Alpine retro stereo with Bluetooth, tilt steering column, seatbelts front and rear, and new carpeting with embroidered mats. Trunk is body-color finished with relocated battery installation.

Underside is clean and rust-free with full frame-off restoration, upgraded fuel system, power steering, electric wipers, new horns, and neatly routed components throughout. Vehicle includes documentation and build records, and is described as turnkey, reliable, and suitable for regular driving with only minor A/C non-operation and small cosmetic paint imperfections noted.
