A meticulously built 1957 Chevrolet restomod is being offered as the centerpiece of a new Dream Giveaway, giving enthusiasts the chance to win a modernized version of one of America’s most iconic classic cars. The giveaway, which runs for 120 days, is open through Jan. 31, 2026, and combines classic design with contemporary performance while supporting charitable causes.
The 1957 Chevrolet, often considered the pinnacle of Detroit’s golden era, remains one of the most recognizable vehicles in automotive history. Known for its bold chrome accents and distinctive tailfins, the model continues to command attention at major auctions and car shows. The example selected for this giveaway represents a high-end restomod approach, blending original styling cues with modern engineering and comfort.
Finished in Red Fire Pearlcoat, the car is paired with a hand-stitched Italian leather interior, creating a presentation designed to match both show-field standards and everyday drivability. The build places the vehicle among the most extensively upgraded Tri-Five Chevrolets currently available, with an estimated value approaching $400,000.
Power comes from a Chevrolet Performance 572-cubic-inch big-block engine producing 620 horsepower. The engine is paired with a Richmond five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip 9-inch rear differential, offering a driving experience focused on engagement rather than automation. This drivetrain combination places the car firmly in modern performance territory while retaining its classic character.
The original chassis has been replaced with an Art Morrison Tri-5 GT Sport chassis, a highly regarded foundation in the restoration and restomod community. Additional upgrades include air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, four-wheel disc brakes, custom instrumentation, and polished wheels fitted with wide performance tires. These updates are intended to deliver modern handling, braking, and comfort without compromising the car’s vintage identity.
As part of the prize package, $10,000 in prize-related taxes will be covered, allowing the winner to take delivery without additional financial burden. The giveaway also supports veterans’ and children’s charities, tying the opportunity to broader community impact.
With its combination of classic design, modern performance, and charitable purpose, the 1957 Chevrolet restomod stands as a headline prize for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Entries are open now, with one participant set to claim ownership of a fully realized American automotive icon.
