Vehicle Description
A 1955 Chevrolet Nomad is already a dream car. But when you can get
one that's already a full custom build with a powerful crate V8,
overdrive transmission, custom A/C interior, and more, then you
know this is the awesome total package classic that someone built
just like you would, too. And this one is ready to run right
now!
You can instantly tell this is an upgrades classic from the moment
in comes into view. After all, the metallic deep red radiates a
nice gloss to draw attention to the rare and desirable Nomad body.
Everyone loves seeing the iconic raked rear hatch and wraparound
glass that made for one of the most prolific icons of the 1950s.
These were the top-of-the-line Chevys that ran with the Bel Airs,
and these came with a lot of intricate brightwork. Thankfully all
of these hard to source pieces are complete on this one: everything
from to the 1955-only grille, to the bright slats protecting the
split rear hatch. And icons like the wraparound chrome bumpers and
jet-inspired hood ornament shine like mirrors. But, you can
instantly see this one goes well beyond factory specs. The side
trim is finished in bright red for a modern take on this classic.
The American Racing Torq Thrust wheels are a nice upgrade that
looks great against the chrome, and they also showcase the extra
meaty rear tires. And this year's Power Tour banner on the
windshield is a hint at how this one Is built to be a great
all-around driver.
Those who love true classic customs will get excited about the
interior. The two rows of brown seating are finished in a vintage
tuck and roll pattern that has the old-school look, right down to
the button-top seat backs. Even the door panels get this full
custom treatment. Plus, the carpeting and dash pad coordinate with
this color theme. More than just look nice, this has all the right
upgrades for you to share this Nomad with family and friends.
There's R134a air conditioning, tinted windows, and an
AM/FM/cassette stereo neatly tucked away in the glovebox, and it
all makes this a great place for everyone to spend some time. Plus,
there are some nice upgrades just for you, like the wood and chrome
Grant sports steering wheel, tilt steering column, crisp Dolphin
gauges, and a B&M ratchet shifter.
The '55 Chevy was the debut of the small block V8, but the largest
you could get them was the 265 cubic-inch motor. So this one
celebrates that spirit while giving a healthy upgrade in power with
a 350 ZZ4 crate V8. This has the right performance upgrades, like
an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, hi-rise intake, and headers
feeding the dual exhaust. It looks tidy with the Edelbrock
accessories on the air topper and valve covers. Plus, as you dig
deeper, you'll see all the right supporting components, like
upgraded pulleys, steel braided hoses, and an electric pusher fan.
In fact, if this is starting to look like a versatile motor for
power and robustness, then you love the four-speed automatic
transmission that has highway-friendly overdrive. Plus, you have
power steering, power brakes, and upgraded drilled & slotted front
disc brakes.
This is a custom Nomad that's smooth and powerful with less than
1,500 miles on the whole package. That makes this one ideal for
everything tailgating to running another Power Tour. So if you want
a head-turning classic that has it all, call today!
