Vehicle Description
A restomod means taking an iconic classic and giving it the best
modern features. So this 1955 Chevrolet 150 absolutely earns its
restomod status with upgraded like the fuel-injected V8, five-speed
stick shift, sleek exterior, and comfy A/C interior.
The black paint has a sleek look that instantly gives the first
impression of a car where there have been modern investments. But
it's more than just the modern clearcoat paint that grabbing all
your attention. They took the time to get this bodywork correct
before even the first drop of black. That's important on a 150
model, because these have cleaner side than other Tri-Fives, so it
uses that to its full advantage here. All the brightwork looks like
it has been expertly maintained to make sure that the bumpers shine
like mirrors, the grille surround is crisp, and the rocker trim
almost looks like lake pipes. With the aggressive touches like the
17-inch Coys wheels, everyone knows they're in for something
special.
The interior is tastefully upgraded to give you modern comfort
without taking away from the overall vintage atmosphere. For
example, you still have two rows of wide bench seats, but now they
have insignia trim and plush pleating. The door panels are done to
match, and the rest of the interior is done in gray and black to
look like a thoughtful and coordinated total package. Even the
trunk matches. It's the kind of car you want to share with family
and friends, and so there are upgrades like cold-blowing R134a air
conditioning to keep them all comfortable. But this restomod is
very much a driver's machine. You have a smaller diameter steering
wheel for a sporty feel, auxiliary gauges, a column-mounted tach,
and have you counted the gear on the cool billet shifter yet?
The engine bay continues this car's overall clean look and
well-done upgrades. There's plenty of shine from the polished valve
covers, air topper, alternator, and more. But what you'll really
love is the substance behind the style. This is a hardy 350
cubic-inch V8 that has been upgraded with performance pieces like
an Edelbrock intake and headers. Plus, there's a modern MSD Atomic
fuel-injection system that delivers both power and consistency.
There's more signs of a thoughtful build with pieces like the
aluminum radiator w/electric fan to help keep this restomod running
cool even when you're in traffic. And the upgrade to a Tremec
TKO500 five-speed manual means instant control of everything from
performance downshifts to overdrive comfort. Add in power steering
and power brakes with discs up front, and you can understand how
this is a great anytime driving restomod.
It's awesome to have a Tri-Five Chevy that looks the good and
already has all the best features. So you know you don't want to
miss this deal. Call now!
