ONE COOL RIDE!
This slick Bel Air features a superb combination of Silver and
Black 2-stage paint. It has undergone a highly detailed,
professional ground-up restoration that is clean, custom, and
precise. The enthusiasts behind this car paid meticulous attention
to the fundamentals while focusing on creating the most perfect
surfacing possible. The timeless panels are solid and well-aligned,
resulting in a first-rate classic that seamlessly blends polished
tradition with rich customization.
Notably, the familiar Chevy pigment serves as a fabulous foundation
for select bolt-ons and customizations. At the front, a smoothed
bumper complements a polished grille, pristine custom-fitted
parking lamps, and traditional stainless-trimmed headlights. Above
the grille, you'll find a customized hood and polished wiper caps.
The stainless-trimmed front glass showcases one-piece side glass
between familiar Chevrolet Sport Mirrors. The emblem-free profile
features custom shaved doors that accentuate the iconic factory
chrome side trim. At the rear, a second smoothed bumper frames LED
tail lamps and a custom shaved decklid.
The car underwent a series of modifications, including pie cutting
and sectioning out 2.5 inches from the front parking light area
down to a 0-cut at the rear quarters, resulting in a sleek, raked
look. The roof was also pancaked and the roof rail edges smoothly
rolled to meet the stainless trim work. The one-piece front door
glass and custom stainless trim work add to the car's one-off build
platform. The level of work and final fitment is truly exceptional,
showcasing the tremendous effort invested in this complete custom
fabrication job.
CHEVROLET PERFORMANCE POWER
Under the custom-made hood, you'll find a hot Chevrolet Performance
502 V8, which, like the car's restoration, is fresh and ready to
roll. This well-rounded crate engine utilizes aluminum construction
heads and a racing-inspired Hot Cam to provide thrilling
performance and years of reliable cruising. The smooth-revving mill
delivers impressive horsepower, and its eye-catching fuel injection
system adds to the overall appeal when you pop the hood. The
serpentine belt components showcase a modern water pump, a muted
alternator, and an AC compressor. A heavy-duty aluminum radiator
keeps things confidently cool, accompanied by quick electric puller
fans. Sleeved plug wires, Concept One power steering components,
and tidy headers add detail to this purpose-built performer. The
clean, gloss silver painted engine bay is adorned with trick
dipsticks, a billet expansion tank, and a high quality, pin-striped
custom-built hood support.
LOOKS & POWER
Unsurprisingly, the bottom of this show-worthy Bel Air continues
the theme of pairing proven hardware with enhanced technology.
Gloss Black floors seamlessly blend with a glossy black painted Art
Morrison chassis, which features tubular control arms, a front sway
bar, and a full suite of adjustable coil-over shocks. Powering the
car is a 6-speed manual transmission that spins the driveshaft,
delivering torque to a positraction independent polished
differential with sporty 3.73 gears. Maneuverability is enhanced by
power rack-and-pinion steering, while big polished front Wilwood
calipers ensure reliable stopping power. The calipers clamp
multiple brake pistons around front slotted rotors and inbound rear
rotors. Throaty mufflers receive aluminized and coated exhaust for
an exhilarating sound. All of this hardware sits on a set of
stunning Budnik polished wheels, with 225/50ZR17 TOYO tires up
front and 245/45ZR18s in the rear.
CUSTOM AND COOL
Stepping inside the Bel Air, you'll be greeted by a fully custom
and professionally installed cockpit boasting a striking
combination of two-tone gray leathers and billet accent pieces. The
front features beautiful bucket seats that anchor the interior. A
smoothed custom-made dash houses a full set of Classic Instrument
Gauges, providing a classic yet modern touch. A custom full-length
console centers a modern shifter between hidden power window
switches and a Bluetooth-capable head unit. Piped mats rest on new
carpeting, complemented by custom side panels and a custom suede
headliner. The driver enjoys a custom 3-spoke, half-wrap, aluminum
polished, "Anthem style" steering wheel mounted on a tilting
column, along with billet foot pedals. Vintage Air climate control
ensures a comfortable driving experience. This Bel Air represents
the result of a meticulous, ground-up build that would be an
expensive endeavor to replicate without doubt. It's a highly
desirable Tri-Five model equipped with all the right features,
making it an exceptionally cool cruiser and show car anywhere you
take it. If your dream is the perfect blend of '50s style and
modern, reliable performance... then your search ends here with
this truly one-of-a-kind '55 Chevy.
