INTRODUCTION: It combines a highly desirable Roadster Shop chassis, a GM Performance 427 crate engine, and a soft leather interior into one incredibly refined package. It looks spectacular from every angle, but what truly sets it apart is how it drives. Smooth, tight, comfortable, and responsive, it's about as close to driving a 2026 '57 Chevy as you'll ever experience.

EXTERIOR: The fit and finish on this '57 Chevy are absolutely outstanding. The body is laser straight from the rockers to the roof, with precise panel gaps and doors that effortlessly click shut. The hood and trunk have been smoothed, along with the removal of the hood rockets, fender louvers, and trunk trim, creating a sleek, modern look. The vibrant red paint is polished to a deep, glass like finish. Every piece of chrome and stainless has been restored or replaced, while the bumpers have been smoothed by eliminating the exposed bumper bolts and large front bullets. The grille has been blacked out and the light bar removed for an even cleaner appearance. It features keyless entry, all new smoked glass with the vent windows deleted for one piece door glass, plus new weatherstrips and seals throughout. Out back are reverse lights with classic blue-dot taillights. The stance is perfect, riding on American Racing Mach V wheels wrapped in Mickey Thompson performance tires, including extra wide rears that complete the aggressive look.

INTERIOR: The custom Ciadella interior is upholstered in premium genuine leather and blends classic '57 styling with modern luxury. The seats have been redesigned with firmer, more supportive cushions that are exceptionally comfortable, while the custom door panels resemble the original pattern. The dash has been extensively smoothed for a clean, custom appearance by eliminating the ashtray, clock, glove box, speaker grille, and instrument bezel. Metallic gray trim adds a subtle contrast, and custom cut carpet with bound edges finishes the floor. It features power windows, Vintage Air climate controls disguised with a factory appearance, a retro style stereo in the original dash location, a full set of upgraded gauges, a tilt column with a leather wrapped cushion grip steering wheel, custom pedals, seat belts, a tight fitting headliner, LED dome light, and a completely updated wiring system with a modern fuse panel. Even the floor shifter looks like a four speed, but it's actually an automatic, giving you the best of both worlds.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Lift the hood and you'll find a beautifully detailed engine bay with a clean, custom appearance. At its heart is a GM Performance ZZ427 crate engine producing 480 horsepower and 490 lb-ft of torque. It features 4-bolt mains, aluminum heads, a hydraulic roller cam, and roller rockers, all managed by a Holley Terminator EFI system and MSD ignition for outstanding reliability and performance. It's dressed with premium fuel lines and fittings, coated headers, cast aluminum valve covers, and a billet front runner system with serpentine pulleys, a polished A/C compressor, polished alternator, and power steering. The cooling system is completely upgraded with a matched core support, radiator, and condenser, along with dual electric fans, and overflow tank. A Hydroboost power brake system with a chrome master cylinder provides modern braking performance. The smoothed firewall, custom inner fenders with embossed ribs, billet hood hinges, stainless hardware, hidden wiring and hoses, and custom underhood bracing with dimple die holes showcase the incredible craftsmanship that went into this build.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The power trunk release opens to a beautifully finished compartment. Under the trunk lid and throughout the jamb, the paint is slick and glossy, complemented by polished billet hinges. Inside, the trunk is fully boxed and carpeted with bound edges for a clean, custom appearance. The battery is neatly hidden behind a removable panel and includes a built-in battery tender, remote charging terminals, and a master battery disconnect switch for added convenience.

UNDERSIDE: This 57 Chevy rides on a premium Roadster Shop SPEC chassis, giving it modern performance and handling. Up front is an independent suspension with fabricated control arms, adjustable coilover shocks, a heavy-duty sway bar, and rack and pinion steering. Out back is a four link suspension with tubular control arms and adjustable coilovers. Stopping power comes from Baer four-wheel disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors, and the e-brake is functional. A polished stainless exhaust with a crossover pipe and polished MagnaFlow mufflers provides a deep performance tone. The fuel system was replaced and upgraded with a custom tank. Looking up at the motor it has an extra capacity oil pan and a high torque starter. It also features a 4L80E electronic overdrive automatic transmission, a custom driveshaft, and a heavy duty 9 inch rear end with 3.55 posi gears. The chassis is finished in semi-gloss black, while the solid all metal floors are coated in durable black chip guard for long lasting protection.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Every vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected, test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for sale.

CONCLUSION: Building a custom to this level takes an enormous investment, years of planning, and the right craftsmen- and even then, there's no guarantee it will turn out this well. This one is already finished and has less than 2,000 miles since completion. You can own it for far less than it would cost to duplicate and start enjoying it today! It's an opportunity that's hard to pass up.
