Vehicle Description
1955 Chevrolet Bel-Air 2 Door Hard Top. DGC8772 VIN. VC55OO28772. I
sold a car way back in 1993. This is a stunning 55 Chevy. Jim owned
Mastercraft Plating here in Seattle. As you can imagine the car was
impeccable. Mastercraft Plating was the high end chrome plating
company in Seattle. So this 55 Chevy is just like his plating...
beautiful. Jim's daughter contacted me about buying the 55 Chevy
back. This is one of those cars you would be happy buying back, but
I had to go see it first. Now this is the kind of "barn fine" you
want to find. It was on a farm but was not in a barn, it was in an
out building. It looked good, but the first thing I look for is
mice. I'm happy to report none were found. This car had been
sitting for 10 plus years. We did not try to start it. We pulled it
up onto our rollback and took it to Joe, at Old School Garage. I
ordered a brand-new gas tank and told Joe to order four new wheel
cylinders. As Joe worked on it he discovered it needed a new master
cylinder. He took his time getting it ready to run. After it was
running and driving, he discovered the heater core was dripping so
he ordered a new heater core. It is now ready to run and drive and
it sure sounds good. Someone is going to own one beautiful car. I
forgot to tell you, the last owner only put 578 miles on this
Chevy. You will have to look at the photos, this car looks as good
is the day I sold it 25 years ago. In the trunk was our original
info sheet from 1993 and the workup sheet showing a lot of info.
This is a stock 55 Chevrolet Bel Air two door hard top. 265 V 8
engine with a 2 barrel carburetor. The engine has about 30,000
miles on the rebuild. Powerglide automatic transmission. The color
and interior are correct. The car was restored in 1986. This is a
94,975 actual miles car.
