You have never seen and won't find another 57 Nomad resto mod like this one. I wanted it to be the best ever built and know that after you see the result of this frame off, ground up restoration, have no doubt you will will agree. There is only one word for this car - stunning!

We've done many restorations from Cobras and Mustangs to BMW CS coupes and Camaros as you can see on our FB page at /classicridesfactory. But this Nomad is like the best of the best, like the flagship of the fleet.

It is built on a 2016 Corvette frame with Corvette suspension, running gear, LS3 motor and automatic transmission.

We used the same material as on the ProCar font seats for the rear bench seat and all panels. The panels are original 57 style made by Ciadella Interiors in Tempe.

We couldn't find an off the shelf center console that worked so designed and made one ourselves from a single plank of red oak.

All the new chrome and other parts are from Danchuck and Classic Industries.

Included here are some informal process photos. The videos will give you all the details of the final product. This is the link. https://youtu.be/CT4ubQORIP8

When you hear the car start and the LS3 comes to life, you'll know there's a lot of power under the hood. But instead of a temperamental race-tuned motor that needs a lot of attention, this is a car that starts right up and you can just get in and go. It has Baer disk brakes, Corvette wheels and performance tires, runs smooth and straight and is a blast to drive.

No expense was spared on this restoration. It has:

New LS3 motor with GM Performance package
All new chrome motor accessories
Aluminum radiator, condenser and gas tank
Chrome radiator support
Baer big brakes, Corvette wheels
Corvette steering wheel
New classic Instruments gage cluster
New Vintage Air AC system
Custom 1-off red oak console
ProCar lumbar adjustable seats
Matching rear bench seat
Matching panels, all in original 57 style
New carpets and headliner
Custom exhaust system
All new trim, chrome, gaskets and seals

This is basically a re-manufactured Nomad with the power and technology of today. After you check out the photos and the video, we think you will agree it really is the best Chevy Bel Air Nomad resto mod ever built. And it isn't finished up to be a garage queen. Yes it is a treasure but it is also a car to enjoy and just drive, maybe to a car show or the local store if you run out of beer.

If you want the most beautiful Nomad resto mod ever built on the planet, give me a call and let's see what it takes to get it in your hands.
