Vehicle Description
This is a fantastic frame-off restored 1958 Bel Air 2-door hardtop
with complete photo documentation of the restoration included. The
body sits on an aftermarket performance chassis and it is powered
by a new ZZ4 Chevy 350ci V8 that was bolted to the mounts and
attached to a Turbo 350 automatic transmission. The drive shaft was
professionally turned and balanced, and the rear end was completely
rebuilt. An SBC Front Runner serpentine belt system with generator,
power steering pump, and new air conditioning compressor, all
chrome, was bolted to the front of the engine, along with Chevrolet
chrome valve covers and an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor. A
Chevrolet chrome air cleaner tops the engine and an aluminum
radiator from Griffin keeps the car running cool at all times. The
chassis features front disc brakes, rear drum brakes, new coil
springs, and 605 power steering. Bilstein shocks were also used and
were custom built in Germany just for this car. The exhaust is
unique in that the Sanderson headers into dual exhaust pipes
continue to the rear through performance mufflers. Then a second
set of loud mufflers are connected to the main pipes with QTP
electric cutouts, which toggle inside the car, to open the second
set of mufflers for awesome sound. You can pull up to any show and
really get every ones attention with just the press of a button.
The loud mufflers can be shut off when cruising down the highway.
All wiring was replaced with a Painless wiring harness with wiring
in the engine compartment being hidden out of site. The interior
starts with the Ididit tilt steering column complete with cruise
control, turn signal, dimmer switch, and tranny lever on the post.
The steering wheel is a classic retrofit from Ididit. The
upholstery is all the Anniversary Gold which looks great next to
the Sierra Gold body color. Vintage Air air conditioning was added
along with power windows, power locks, and keyless entry. The
interior is all-new original from CARS, INC. The seat frames were
sand blasted and powder-coated before they were reinstalled and
seat belts for six passengers were retrofitted for safety. Complete
insulation for heat and sound attenuation from Quietride Solutions
was added before the interior was completed. Its awesome audio
system is complete with a USA-6 head unit with Alpine amplifiers
that power front and rear Focal speakers and a JBL subwoofer in the
trunk with remote volume control under the dash. A new Dakota
Digital VHX dash replaces factory original, which is included. This
is a high-quality resto-mod that was done right and is a joy to
drive, admire and enjoy.
