For Sale: 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air in Island Lake, Illinois

Vehicle Description

Nothing captures the iconic style and attitude of 1950s Detroit quite like Chevrolet's legendary Bel Air. This gorgeous 1955 Bel Air restomod seamlessly blends classic Americana styling with modern performance and amenities. The fiery Matador Red paint is simply breathtaking, complemented by brilliant new chrome and a custom camel-colored leather interior. But this '55 is far more than just great looks.

RAMJET FUEL-INJECTED PERFORMANCE
Fire up the 350ci Ramjet crate engine and this Bel Air snarls to life with an aggressive bark from the stainless dual exhaust with chrome endlettes. The fuel-injected V8 is incredibly responsive thanks to the reinforced chassis and performance upgrades:

• 350ci V8 RamJet Port Fuel Injected Crate Engine
• 700R4 3-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive
• Power steering
• 4-wheel power disc brakes
• Control computer veiled under a cover
• 2" lowered suspension with chrome front control arms & springs
• Custom U.S. Mag Bonneville wheels - 6061 T-6 forged aluminum centers & rims
• Michelin Pilot Sport 225/45 ZR 18" tires in the front, and 265/40 ZR 20" tires in the rear

FRAME-OFF RESTORED TO IMPECCABLE STANDARDS
Every aspect of this '55 Chevy has been meticulously refinished and rebuilt during its comprehensive frame-off, nut-and-bolt restoration. The undercarriage is as immaculate as the glossy body, with the frame painted, boxed, smoothed and rolled corners. All new chrome, glass with factory tint, weather seals, lighting, and interior make it feel factory fresh. The gas tank is new and the battery has been relocated to the trunk.

RESTOMOD LUXURY & COMFORT
In addition to the custom camel-colored leather bench seat interior, this restomod received a full array of modern amenities:

• Air conditioning
• Aftermarket gauge cluster with tachometer
• Replica steering wheel
• Trunk upholstered with custom mat
• New carpet throughout

This incredible 1955 Bel Air restomod combines the evocative vintage style of a legendary American classic with reliable RamJet fuel-injected V8 power, contemporary ride and handling, and a sumptuous leather interior with modern comforts. With its meticulous frame-off restoration and just over 2,000 miles since completed, this Chevy retains an exceptional like-new feel. For the collector who wants vintage Bel Air style without compromise, it simply doesn't get any better.
