Vehicle Description
One of the most iconic classics around is upgraded with a serious
fuel-injected muscle to make one of the most interesting restomods
around. But as you dig into the details on this 1955 Chevrolet Bel
Air, you're also going to discover a comfortable A/C cruiser that
shines like a true gem.
The '55 Chevy was the dawn of a new era. Style was at the forefront
with this premium Bel Air pillarless hardtop. It became an icon of
the era, and there's arguably no better way to present it than in a
distinct red and white two-tone that utilizes the bright trim for
its dividing line. But more than the right colors, you can tell
there was a big investment in keeping it looking bright with modern
clear coat and a professional hand applying. Plus, this paint had a
great canvas with super-straight sheetmetal. That's why all the
trim appears almost like unbroken lines flowing down the profile of
the car. There was plenty more invested to keep everything from the
wraparound bumpers to the jet-let hood ornament shining like
mirrors. But you also have a lowered suspension, front CPP tubular
control arms, Torq Thrust wheels, and large exhaust tips poking out
of the rear to signal there's performance substance behind all the
vintage style.
The same red and white appeal of the exterior is continued to the
interior for a show-worthy uniform look inside & out. This has a
great vintage feeling with the artful Bel Air steering wheel and
the Corvette-style dual cowl dash. But this isn't a total time
capsule feeling. It has subtle but significant upgrades, like a
retro-style AM/FM/cassette stereo w/digital tuner. Everyone can
stay cool even with the windows down on this hardtop thanks to
modern R134a air conditioning. Plus, as you spot upgrades like the
Lokar floor shifter, auxiliary gauges, and large column-mounted
tach, it's a clear signal there's something special under the
hood.
The engine bay is filled with enormous big block power. And while
502 cubic-inches is enough of an upgrade for most of us, this one
really takes it to a whole new level. GM's Ram Jet fuel injection
feeds the monster motor. Plus, it exhales with serious thunder as
long tube headers add even more power while also contributing to
the rumble of the dual exhaust. The whole setup looks clean and
mean thanks to plenty of polished components, like the alternator,
compressor, water pump, and pulleys. And you can show off this
great looking total package everywhere thanks to good driving
features, such as power steering, CPP power brakes w/discs up
front, and a smooth shifting TH400 three-speed automatic
transmission sending power to a 12-bolt rear end, kept in place
with traction bars. There's also large aluminum radiator to help
keep this running cool even when you're in traffic with the A/C
pumping.
Here's an icon that has all the right investment to retain your
classic pieces while also giving you a huge upgrade in power. It's
a terrific restomod, and it's ready for the first person who grabs
this deal. Call now!
