The guy who sold it owned it since he was in his early thirties. That must have been tough to sell. Bet he shed a tear or two.
PLEASE keep this one! You truly found a gem of a car and got a steal of a deal on it.
Do a light legal tint and fix the AC😊

She's spot on. No tint original wheels tyres. Get air con tune up and go on romatic dates enjoy it 🎉

I drove a '57 BelAire 2 door hardtop to high school, I'm NOT dead, lol, these cars are the BEST Chevrolet ever built, my opinion, you can fix the speedo with a simple gear change in the trans, takes 10 minutes, don't tint your windows, add Vintage Air, you got a GEM, congrats!
@@mybizz8542 ditto for me but DD A OFF WHITE WRAP ON ROOF
A red 57 chevy! Wow! Props to the guy for taking care of it all these years. Preserve this beauty!
Change the wheels hubcaps and tires. She's right. Keep it stock.
I agree with Jessica! Keep it, sell the others, and put the steelies, hubcaps and white walls on her. Keep the 350, do not tint the windows and enjoy it for what it truly is. This is a true Legend.
Randy, please keep this car! 🙏
His not
I don't think he will.
He never keeps a car.
He will probably through next year.
@@txtchjmb29 i say 6 months.
@@stv922 I dont think he is gonna keep it that long..
Please, please, please keep this car. Opportunity rarely comes around a second time.
HE'S A CAR DEALER!!!
So happy you got this 57 Chevy she’s gorgeous. 100 percent would make a great power tour car.
I would not be surprised if the car is gone by thanksgiving
@@keithzatkalik5805 It’s definitely gone by Xmas!!!
My ‘57 Chevy has Vintage Air. It works great and I would highly recommend it.
Hey Randy, congratulations on getting that 57 Chevy! Boy am I with you! I’m almost 80 years old and I have lusted after the 57 Chevy all my life really never got the opportunity to get one! That and the 1955 and 1956 Corvette at the top of my bucket list! However, that being said, I would hate to see you get rid of the Monte Carlo and the other ones you mentioned! I am still sweating bullets or the possibility of your quitting CZcams! I mentioned this in a previous comment that I am disabled in a hospice house and you absolutely make my day! My favorite automotive channel by far! I have made this comment so many times about my appreciation, respect, incredible enjoyment for your channel. I sure hope we don’t lose you you enrich my daily life! Your hands down the best automotive channel on CZcams because of the variety of automobiles your enthusiasm and excitement and appreciation of these cars and your high-quality character and sharing some of your life with us
Very well said!
I agree with Jessica on this one Randy the factory look is perfect 💯✅
Don’t mess,leave it alone. The previous owner probably had it sorted out. Vintage Air if you are going on Power Tour.
Randy this is the first car you’ve owned I actually want and love. Wow!!
Great purchase, Randy! FYI, the ‘57 was the first year for the 283c.i. engine. The steering wheel is from a ‘59/60 impala. The original interior would have been vinyl trimmed fabric seating inserts. I suspect that the engine if not original, could be a 327 or later 350. The numbers on the block will tell you what it is. All in all, you have a beautiful example of a ‘57 two door that has been tastefully modified. I hope you keep it and enjoy it.
Not a fan of swapping the steering wheel to the 59/60 that is an old school mod prefer the stock 57 wheel.
@@Jddvs looks 327. The ps pump bolts. With brackets not into heads
Just get a flasher for LED bulbs.
Nice one Randy.
Please don't sale the one.
Just add ac on it and put the oe rims and white walls.
You are good to go
These Bell Air’s are so sweet. WOW I love this one a lot. Keep it up randy we love to see it!
Good deal. Honestly just keep it like it. drive it and enjoy it. I wouldn't go trying to change motors.
100%. Leave it as it is. Not every car needs to leave skid marks off the line.
This is a classic. Perhaps change the tires back to stock, but leave it as a classic.
Your fiancé has the best idea.
Glad you got it!!
Schwiiiiiiinng 😅😅😅
Hey Randy! I agree with your fiance on original wheels with white walls and NO TINT...a/c is a must 👍 Also consider painting the roof and pillars white, it will improve the looks even more! Great video and enjoy your new ride!
The speedometer is fairly easy to fix.
You need to figure out which drive and driven gear you need for your tire size axle ratio and transmission.
The 73-78 GM Light Truck parts books have speedometer drive and driven gear tables for the powerglyde, th350, th400, sm465, & several other common 70s Transmissions in the front section. The 79-84 parts books have the 700r4 gears.
You can download both sets in PDF files. There's a parts book and an illustrations book for each year group. They're 20-60meg each book.
The tables don't list th350 etc they used the RPO codes if I remember correctly.
Light UV tinted windows and air condition is a must
Great buy randy I bought a 55 a few years ago with 14k original miles for 34 and been loving that car ever since since take it to some car shows this is definitely a car you should keep
Congratulations, Randy, on purchasing your dream car. Just enjoy life with you and your family.
Wow you are lucky. I would keep this forever, if I were you. What a steal of a deal on a '57!
I think every little boy around the world dreamed of owning one of these I can remember building a model kit in my youth that was a splitting image of your new 57 , congrats what a steal Randy , she’s definitely a keeper 👍🏽👍🏽
1957 Chevrolet Belair!! That Is One Nice Ride Randy, Way To Go Man..
Congrats, Randy. You should just fix the minor issues, install A/C, and maybe have two sets of wheels. A set of classic wheels and some sporty wheels. Love the channel and the car.
Congrats Randy! Such an awesome looking car. I would add a/c and power tour that next year.
I must say that you are a match made for what you love. I've always preferred the 55 2-Door
Beautiful car Randy. I think I agree with your fiancé opinion on the wheels. Can’t wait to see what you do it next.
I am 52 years old. That car is beautiful. Congratulations. I would definitely put the AC but other than that it’s a awesome car fix everything that broke that is little and drive the hell out of it.
Gorgeous hands down your best purchase. I’m literally drooling on my shirt. If you sell that one you’ve officially lost your mind.
Great to see that you are now the Proud Owner of one of your "Two Dream Cars Randy!"
Before you change the LED bulbs, check under the dash and ensure that you have an LED
Flasher. That just might solve your signal issues. I hope that you keep this car as it is a true classic!
The V in the vin is NOT an indication it’s a BelAir… that’s the factory motor design, that it was a V8 out of the factory. However, that’s not a V8 core support. It’s been cut on top… inline 6 cars had the radiator in front of the core support (because they were longer), and v8 cars had them behind the core support… yours being cut is usually done to a inline 6 core support when installing a V8 (other wise the fan is too far away)…. There should be a body tag on the firewall that will tell you if the car is a real bel air or not.
no tint. no white letter tires - but you should get white walls with original hubcaps. yes to AC to make car livable, especially since it already isn't stock, it won't hurt "Resale" value.
57 chevys and 32 fords. The two most iconic hotrods in my opinion.
When you close the door you don’t hear that anymore. Randy , it is a beautiful car . Enjoy it all .
It is possible to leave the LEDs in. You just have to add an 8Ω load resistor at each turn signal light socket (total of 4). They trick the turn signal relay into thinking there's incandescent bulbs installed.
The 56, 57 and 58 all had hidden gas tank fills. 56 and 7 had them behind the drivers side taillight fins, and the 58 had it below the trunk lid and behind a flip up door. Great cars!
If I were to buy a tri 5 car, the year would 1955, then 1957, and last but not least the 1956. The car you got is really BOSS, and I do love it. You are one lucky dude.
Those two cars you've mentioned as all time "Dream Cars", are absolutely spot on Randy. Those two are the top two on my list also. Please enjoy this car Randy. Hell yeah.
Really love that car. Totally happy for you Randy. Keep it totally factory. Would suit it best me thinks.
Dude you are one lucky guy to find these gems
The only thing I worry about is this channel is awesome for us regular old guys but there are jerks out there that will invade your area and buy up all your secrets that you share with us just so they can profit for their own stingy selves
Love your channel
Keep sharing those treasures
Great find Randy. Jess is right. Put wide whites on it with stealies.
I agree with your fiancé, put the original wheels, hubcaps, and whitewalls on!
Ewwwwwww grosssss
🤢🤮
No way
But keep those too! Looks good like this, but for shows you want the factory look.
@@GermanCarGuyMN ugggggh too frumpy and old timely plus he got discs up front he needs late. Rims
Randy, you can buy a different flasher stat for your '57 that will make the LED's work correctly for about $20.00 at O'Riellys!
I absolutely love this car.I saw one in the UK never realised how big of a car these were.It's such a shame that we never got these cars in the uk
Man you scored on that one that is one sweet ride. I would definitely get the air conditioning fixed or at least put in. A little bigger tire and wheel. And tent those windows. People don't need to see what you got sitting in the front seat.
My dad had a 1957 Belair 2 Dr hard top black with white top it had a 283 four barrel factory air conditioning ❤❤❤❤❤
Add serpindine drive with new ac , fix up what needs to be fixed and use it !
Add a 3rd brake light, hidden one . Flying Sparks Garage is building one on their channel !
third brake light ....no reason
You sure got yourself another great classic Randy, love it. 😎👌👍
Bobby from NJ. Randy you picked a nice car. I also like 1959, and 1960 cars. You got a steal of a deal.
Absolutely. Love it. You made a great bye. Yes, tint the windows and of course air conditioning other than that. I think I would leave it alone.Beautiful car randy
Beautiful car Randy. Absolutely love it. Congratulations
Randy - congrats- beautiful 1957 Chevy.
I would suggest restoring it to its original old school look. Wide whites - steel wheels with original hubcaps.
Add a/c and tinted windows.
Best of luck with your new ride. 😊
Congrats, Randy, the 57 looks great. Best wishes. I took the 40 for a cruise this morning and was thinking about ya..
Keep the beautiful shoebox AND the Viper.
Tinted windows and factory wheels will give it that Christine look. Christine is my all time favorite car.
He had a Christine chrysler before but sold it.
An electronic flasher should resolve your signaling issue.
The LEDs don’t draw enough current.
She beautiful. I wish mine look that good. Welcome to the tri 5 gang. For anyone that don't think they're worth anything try buying parts for one
I agree with Jessica. Please go with the original wheel setup and wide white walls. Sweet buy for sure!!
Congrats Randy. I wish everyday since 1975 that i would have never sold mine. Steve in Texas.
Randy im absolutely honored that you shared one of the pictures of my 57 i sent you. You absolutely stole that car for 27k. It is in very nice condition. Please dont sell it!!! You will love driving it and having people wavingat you everywhere you go and semis honking at you. It is an unbelievable experience to drive these cars. I look forward to seeing what you do with it. Please don't hesitate if i can help in any way.
Thanks again man that’s a beautiful car you have!!
A amazing looking car
Yes please keep this car Randy. Like u said it's very iconic. And it's worth what u paid for it if not more. Heck of a steal. Happy for you Randy.
I used to appraise cars when I sold collector cars, I am still pretty up to date on it. This car has had up dates through the years and is not at all original , with the wrong motor, steering wheel, maybe seats or just seat covers, shifter, no restoration except the paint and maybe chrome. You paid up for it but did not get taken to the bank . A lot of cars with different drivetrains, interior, but look almost stock are priced a little below what you gave. You have a number 3 car that has been altered with no expensive add ons. With inflation who knows what it is worth , ten years ago you could by one like it for ten to fifteen thousand.
My late uncle Leo was an auto body specialist and the last time I ever saw one of these in person was at his garage in 1992. Same color and everything. Man Randy don't you ever get rid of this one. Beautiful American car.❤
Give it two weeks and it be down the road.
Congrats on the purchase. She's gorgeous. 🤗🤗🤗
I love the '57! I would put in the vintage A/C, put in an overdrive auto transmission, and even though I like the wheels, put on the original wheels and hub caps for Jessica! Go for the factory look, I agree with Jessica on the window tint, unless you do the tint in the factory green color.
Love that 57 bel air awesome buy man!
I have a restored 1953
5 window Chevy pickup and there’s nothing like driving a classic car.
I'm inspired.
Please spill some sugar about the bi-weekly stuff you mentioned.
I raised 75k and Christina Ann Tucker is to be thanked. I got my self my dream car 🚗 just last weekend, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York and saw me suffering in dept then told me about her and how to change my life through her. Christina A. Tucker is the kind of person one needs in his or her life! I got a home, a good wife, and a beautiful daughter. Note: this is not a promotion but me trying to make a point that no matter what happens, always have faith and keep living!!!
Wow 😱 I know her too
Miss Christina Ann Tucker is a remarkable individual who has brought immense positivity and inspiration into my life.
I started with a miserly $1500. The results have been mind blowing I must say TBH
< I know that woman(Christina Ann Tucker)
If you were born and raised in new York you'd know too, No doubt she is the one that helped you get where you are!!!!
I think the original wheels would look amazing on this, either white walls or white letters on the tires. I agree with the tinted windows as well, it will make it look really good! Very excited to see more content on this!
A beautiful classic 😊❤
Maybe light tint like 70% ,17 inch crager wheels with some thick white walls with the vintage air would be killer
Those wheels look so good on the 57. Don't change them.
Randy if you pull the keys out with the motor running you can turn the car off by using the ignition wings on the place around the keys you will be able to start it that way if you turn the key all the way over it will lock the ignition it will lock the the switch and no one will be able to start it! Try it it will surprise you! My Dad could not ever figure out how we drove his car when he was sleeping! The good old days....Until he went to the Chevy Dealership to find out how his smart assed kids could do it!
Hi Randy nice looking car
Sweet ride Randy! Well done. Yes, you have time for a vintage air system. Will make power tour really enjoyable. Cheers.
Go with your fiance. She knows what the car needs. It's a beautiful car. White walls, original hubcabs. Make it look original.
That is a keeper Randy, you made a wise choice in buying this one. I always loved this style. I also wanted a 58 chevy impala, it is also a 1-year body style and fairly rare in the 2 dr. hardtops or convertible. Thanks for a great video, it really got my attention.
Ray
Awesome car and video😍😎🔥
no air conditioning back in those days we are spoiled. nice car great color.
Randy this car is a good investment Keep It In The Family Man
I'm glad that you got the Bel-Aire. One of my favorite classic cars.
I love the 57 Belair. Congratulations on the purchase. Now u can't quit youtube lol. We love u and your video content Randy.
I like full moon smoothies on that car! What a great color!
Wow! get the air skip the tint,and keep forever. Love it.
No tint, air con is obviously a must 🥵 👍🏻, wheels are very personal, but the stock items look ace 👍🏻
I love this car! Put some ac in it and the factory wheels on it but no tint tho!! This is so beautiful!
You will sell it when you are 80. Love this car. Raised white letter tires are a must. Whitewalls are for lowriders only.
That car is absolutely awesome, I love it. It would look great with no tint and the original wheels and hubcaps and white wall tires. It is soooo cool.
Congrats ! Great buy
Whitewalls would be the icing on the cake!
I would definitely tint the windows with a eyebrow on the windshield !! With either cherry bomb turbo mufflers on it or flowmaster exhaust for a aggressive sound! !!!! With your ideas , it still leaves room for alot of potential ! The car is awesome ! Have a great day Randy !
