At Custom Classics, we sell some of the most exclusive classic cars
and trucks in the world. But every now and then we still get
classics that REALLY make our jaws drop and are just a ton of fun
to own. In fact, when we first saw this awesome ProTouring Nomad
pull into our shop, all we wanted to do was jump behind the wheel
and head for the closest beach...and she SURE looks the part! And
since this Chevy has been fully restored and equipped with a trusty
LS3 and fitted with a cushy Relicate leather interior that's bigger
than some people's bedrooms, it was more than willing to make the
trip. Both rare and highly desirable, this timeless, all-American
rig is one of the coolest people movers on the planet! And whether
you're a diehard Chevy fan, a wagon enthusiast, or just someone who
wants to drive something not often (or EVER) seen, it'll have you
dreaming of the good old days and road trips with great friends and
family!
"The Chevrolet Nomad made its debut as a Harley Earl Dream Car
concept at the 1954 Motorama, and this one-of-kind 1956
twin-turbocharged Nomad packs performance and craftsmanship beyond
even Earl's wildest dreams. The Nomad was designed and built by the
team at The Restomod Store in Independence, Missouri, and the
custom creation was featured in Hot Rod Magazine and Super Chevy
Magazine. The Restomod Store pushed the factory custom Bel-Air well
past the next level and hit the laser-straight steel bodywork with
custom mixed orange and pewter DuPont Axalta urethane paint topped
with hand-laid two-tone pinstripes. The shop's body and paint
expertise earned the Nomad a spot in the DuPont calendar.
Prodigious power comes by way of a Chevrolet Performance LS3 V-8
crate engine that packs a brutal one-two punch. The
body-color-keyed Top Street Performance TSP Velocity intake
manifold and custom Comp camshaft work with two Precision Turbo
6266 turbochargers and a front-mount intercooler for an estimated
650 HP at 10 pounds of boost. Power gets down to the pavement
through a Turbo 400 4-speed automatic transmission and a Gear
Vendors overdrive for low-RPM highway hauling. RideTech air
suspension with drop spindles and 4-wheel Wilwood disc brakes
deliver modern road handling to match newfound power.
The Restomod Store expertise continues into the handcrafted custom
leather interior. TEA's Seats designed and built custom front and
rear buckets for the Nomad, and The Restomod Store team upholstered
the cabin from the headliner to door panels and center console with
distressed leather from Relicate. The mid-'50s meet the 21st
century in the Bel Air wraparound dash. Dakota Digital VHX gauges,
digital air conditioning, and heater controls, and a Kenwood
touch-screen CD/DVD player with Hertz speakers. The one-of-a-kind
Nomad waits for its next owner to settle in behind the tilt billet
steering wheel, engage twin-turbo V-8 power, and roam the roads on
Boze Alloys Traction Concave wheels and wide Mickey Thompson S/R
tires
(26x10.00R18 fronts and 29x18.00R20 on the rears.)
Restored, customized, powerful, and ready to hit the road, this
awesome Chevy is the perfect place to "See the U.S.A." In recent
years, Nomads have become extremely popular as more and more
tri-five enthusiasts look for new ways to ante up and stand out. If
you're looking for a wickedly cool collector car that's as
functional as it is a head-turner, you're looking at your hot
ticket! Call us today before this car goes... we promise it will
NOT last long in our inventory.
