Vehicle Description
There are certainly a lot of good looking 55 through 57 Chevy's out
there, but come on this thing is really got to look. How could you
not turn your head to check it out. The colors are outstanding, the
lowered stance is great. This was born a real V-8 Bel Air hardtop.
Obviously it's been restored and upgraded, there is a pile of
receipts.
EXTERIOR: The paint has a very smooth glossy finish. I'm looking
down the sides- the fenders, doors, quarter panels are straight. I
don't see any signs of rust bubbles or cracking. The paint is
buffed out like glass. The colors make the car. The chrome and trim
are great. Upfront the bumper, bumper guards, trim around the
grill, headlight bezels, hood ornament, emblems are new. The
stainless trim on the sides and all around the glass is shiny and
straight. In back the bumper is rechromed and there are some big
fat cool looking exhaust tips sticking out. The door jambs are
painted nice, has new weather strips and sill plates. Door shuts
really well. The windshield has been replaced and new gasket. The
combination of the big Boss chrome wheels and 2 inch lowered
suspension look great together.
INTERIOR: Custom made yellow and white upholstery on the seats and
side panels. Correct perforated headliner and visors. The dash is
exceptionally sharp looking. It is painted the bright yellow with
the Billet aluminum trim and a really nice custom gauge cluster. It
is a full set of gauges by Classic Instruments including a
tachometer. The steering wheel looks stock but it's actually a
little bit smaller which makes it easier to get in and out of the
car. Glove box liner is new and the light even works! Looking
through the receipts I noticed there is a lot more replaced than
meets the eye. Heater controls, vent cables, underdash wire
harness, firewall insulation, even the rubber bumpers on the
ashtray. Window cranks are new.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It's real nice looking under the hood. It has a
correct 265 motor with some upgrades- Edelbrock intake, Edelbrock
carb with electric choke and MSD ignition. It is dressed up a nice
set of aluminum valve covers and a chrome air cleaner lid. The
components look good too. Has power steering. New cadium plated
booster, master, junction block and brake lines. Upgraded electric
wiper system. Converted to an alternator from a generator. Has a
real nice polished aluminum radiator and overflow bottle. It uses
the stock fan and auxiliary electric fan. The horns are new.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is boxed in and upholstered to match the
interior. There is some storage behind the rear panel.
UNDERSIDE: Upfront it is completely new and upgraded. Has tubular
control arms, new ball joints bushings etc. Upgraded sway bar.
Upgraded to disc brakes. Bottom of motor is still new looking. In
back it has new sway bar, shocks and fuel tank. There are new fuel
and brake lines, e-brake is hooked up. Has powerglide automatic
trans, u-joints look recent. New dual exhaust system.
