The build: a tri-five with modern hardware everywhere it counts
This is RestoMods' 35th giveaway car, and it's a serious one: a frame-off 1957 Bel Air in Tuxedo Black with the factory lines left alone and everything underneath brought to 2026. Power is a BluePrint Engines 502ci big-block crate V8 — 633 hp and 612 lb-ft — running FiTech Go-EFI injection, breathing through Sanderson ceramic-coated headers and a Magnaflow stainless system with electric cutouts for when the neighbors are away. A Summit 4L80E automatic sends it to a Currie 9-inch with 3.50s and a Truetrac. The stance comes from Ridetech StrongArm front air suspension and a 4-link rear on bags; Wilwood 6-piston/4-piston brakes handle the other end of the equation. It rolls on staggered American Racing Salt Flat Specials (18x8 / 20x10) in Nitto NT555 G2s, and the cabin gets TMI benches in Alcantara and leather, Dakota Digital RTX gauges, Vintage Air and a RetroSound head unit.
Why it matters
The '57 Bel Air is the tri-five — the car everyone pictures when they hear "classic Chevy" — and the market has been paying its biggest money for exactly this formula: stock body, modern injected power, air ride, real brakes. This one drives like a muscle car and cruises like a show car, and the prize includes $50,000 cash on top. Prefer money to chrome? There's a $100,000 all-cash alternative. Worth noting for the skeptics: RestoMods lists 34 named past winners going back to its first Camaro giveaway, and the winner call happens live on YouTube on November 12.
The fine print worth knowing
Entry runs August 7 through November 2, 2026. The paid route is the RestoMods Car Club at $12.95/month for 15 entries a month, and any store purchase earns 1 entry per dollar (with periodic multiplier promotions). No purchase is necessary: mailing a postcard earns 50 free entries — the instructions and address are on page one of the official rules — and uploading a car to the free RestoMods Garage earns 5 more. Open to US and Canadian residents 18+ with a valid driver's license. Remember this is a builder's car, not a numbers-matching survivor, so inspect the build quality like you would any restomod purchase — and the tax bill on a six-figure prize is real, which is exactly what that $50,000 in cash is for.

Why It's Special
The '57 Bel Air is the definitive tri-five Chevy and the most sought-after year of the 1955–57 run. This one is a fresh frame-off restomod rather than a numbers-matching restoration, so its worth rides on build quality and the modern driveline instead of originality — which is exactly where the strongest tri-five money has been at auction lately.
Our value estimate
$110,000
RestoMods doesn't print a dollar figure for the car on the giveaway page, so this is our editorial estimate for the Bel Air alone — the $50,000 cash is counted separately. Across all 1957 Bel Airs at auction, medians ran roughly $66k (2025) to $74k (2026) per ConceptCarz's aggregate of nearly 200 recent sales, but professionally built restomods with modern crate power, air suspension and full custom interiors consistently trade well above that mid-market — comparable pro-built tri-fives have brought roughly $95k–$160k at Bring a Trailer and Mecum over the past two seasons. A just-finished frame-off with a 633-hp BluePrint 502, Ridetech air ride at all four corners, Wilwood brakes and a full TMI interior lands mid-band, so we're calling it about $110,000. Mileage isn't published; as a fresh build it should carry little more than shakedown miles, and meaningful road use would move the number down. The $100,000 all-cash option is effectively the floor RestoMods itself puts on the prize.
Editorial estimate based on recent comparable sales — not an appraisal.
