The Bel Air is a full-sized sedan meant to be the opposite of discreet. It was made for people who despised being discreet, it was made for people who loved to be noticed, for people who smoked only Cuban cigars and drank tea with their pinkies sticking out. The Bel Air was prestigious, and the fact that it went on to be considered one of the most iconic cars of the 1950s speaks for its homage. One might find it hard that this specific second-generation Bel Air is nearly seventy years old, and that is probably because it reportedly had an entire body-off restoration in 2022. As of now, we're glad to announce that this beauty is up for sale.
The second-generation Bel Air went through a complete design change from the first. Nicknamed the 'hot one,' this Bel Air was no longer subtle. It was in your face, and it was sexy. It had chrome spears on the front fenders, shiny chrome bumpers, full-wheel covers, and the iconic 'Ferrari-inspired' front grille. This specific 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Restomod captures all those features beautifully, especially with the striking red exterior paint that contrasts with the reportedly new chrome parts. The Bel Air also has new tires and a color-matching soft top. Something that is not as common in most modern-day automobiles is the level of detail that goes into its interior. It would be insipid to call the interior of this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air anything lesser than art, especially with its beautiful color-matching dashboard that the seller reports being all new. Leather seating is a standard offering, but the two-tone finish mimics the car's exterior perfectly. There are also reports of a new JL sound system tucked away in the trunk.
As for power, the second-generation Bel Air received various powertrains. This specific 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air resto-mod is reported to have had its 283ci 4.6L engine completely rebuilt and is aided by a 3-speed Turboglide automatic transmission.

For petrol heads who have a particular interest in the American brand Chevrolet, the term "Tri Five" is well known. For those who don’t know, the 1955–1957 Chevrolets, specifically the 150, 210, Bel Air, and Nomad were nicknamed the Tri Fives. This time frame marked a huge turning point for the manufacturer and brought major success. On this listing, we are focusing on the top trim offering among these models, the Bel Air. The second generation of this stunning car was introduced in 1955 as the “Hot One” and was well received by the motor magazines at the time. With this restomod 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air with less than 90,000 miles on the clock, we're offering you the chance to experience this iconic classic.
Ever since its first generation, the Chevrolet Bel Air was meant to be a status symbol — a vehicle that stood out and made a statement. Nothing about this full-sized sedan is discreet. This is the car for the person who wants the finer things in life, and it was that crowd that took a liking to the Bel Air when it rolled out of the factory on the first day. Before long, this car became one of the most iconic American automobiles ever made. This particular Bel Air came as a two-door hardtop or 'Sport Coupe' with the pillarless design and has been preserved in its near-original state, even after all these years. The car has also been fitted with a few modern luxuries and comforts that weren’t common when it was unveiled in 1957. With them, it makes this Bel Air a well-rounded machine that is ready to impress wherever it goes. With only 20,000 miles reported on the clock, this car is a blast from the past for the modern era, and the perfect vehicle for anyone who wishes to bring a piece of the '50s prestige back again.
What you are looking at here is a Chevrolet that was regarded as an auto icon. This legend belongs to the last year of the Tri-Five and it is stunning from every angle you look at it. When a vehicle of this nature that has been restored to this level, it is intimidating to every other vehicle from its era. This beautiful example of the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe looks and acts overall like an original can but bears a few upgrades to make it a much more enjoyable experience. Boasting only 5,000 miles on its clock, this Bel Air Restomod is a showstopper no matter where you decide to roll up in it.
The Chevrolet Corvette has always been an iconic sports car. While the fourth generation may have looked like an evolution of its predecessor, under the skin, things were completely redesigned. The C4 features a revised five-link suspension set up for the rear, which greatly improved handling. The fiberglass panels were upgraded to plastic, and the radiator was angled at 15 degrees so that police radar would have a harder time locking on to the front end. All in all, the C4 generation of Chevrolet Corvette marked a massive shift for the model — and it’s no wonder that interest and prices are on the rise. Our featured car is a 1989 Chevrolet Corvette with 43,000 miles on the clock. It could be the perfect companion for your next classic adventure.
The Camaro platform was introduced in 1966 as a pony car to compete with Ford's wildly successful Mustang. It quickly rose to fame and became very desirable among both muscle car and sports car enthusiasts. The third-generation Camaro was introduced in 1982, and it modernized the platform heavily with innovations in all departments. The IROC-Z was a performance option that was exclusively available on the Z28 Camaro. It was born out of a racing series, making it a unique Camaro trim level with Corvette DNA. This is a well-preserved example of a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Coupe with just 4,820 miles.
While we come across several custom builds here at Exotic Car Trader, rarely do we offer a prototype that was created from the ground up. The 2002 Carter Prototype Le Mans Racer is a one-of-a-kind creation currently offered for sale by the car's builder and inventor. Using a 2002 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 as a donor, the sale includes the molds used in its creation of the custom bodywork. The curb weight is reportedly just 2,620 lbs, which is roughly 500 pounds lighter than the original Z06 donor car. One look at this painstakingly crafted prototype, and you can tell that hundreds of hours of engineering and planning have gone into its creation. If you’re looking for something truly unique and an appearance that wouldn’t look out of place tearing around the Circuit de la Sarthe, then this 2002 Carter Prototype Le Mans Racer could be the perfect opportunity.
Italy has a rich and vibrant history of producing sports cars of all shapes and sizes. While you may more commonly think of a roaring Ferrari V12 or a Lamborghini V10, the country also gave birth to some truly amazing, affordable sports cars. Take the Fiat X1/9, for example. Despite featuring a relatively small 1,290cc engine, the little Fiat is a true sportscar focused on offering the best driver experience. It’s a strict two-seater with a mid-engine layout and a design that predated the Toyota MR-2 by several years. Today, the Fiat X1/9 has a cult following around the world, with fans smitten by the car’s baby-Ferrari style and experience. Our featured car is reportedly all-original and comes with original mileage of just 49,300 on the odometer — exceptional for a car of this vintage.

Even though pickup trucks were far more utilitarian back in the ’50s, they still had a popular following. While they may not have offered the same blend of off-road ability and on-road comfort as today’s options, trucks like the 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup were known for their reliability and ruggedness. Originally known as the Chevrolet Task Force series of trucks, in 1958 the company changed the names of their lineup. The light-duty series, as is featured here, adopted the “Apache” moniker, along with a redesign of the front end. Our featured truck appears to be in excellent condition for a workhorse of its age. It has a 235ci I6 engine under the hood and a manual transmission.
