Vehicle Description
This custom 1965 Chevy Bel Air Pro-Touring coupe is a complete
custom build by Chris Cerce Customs out of Taunton, Massachusetts.
Countless hours went into this no-expense-spared custom build.
Powering this Pro-Touring Bel Air is a Chevrolet Performance ZZ572
V8 big block crate engine equipped with Holley Sniper electronic
fuel injection making 620 horsepower and 625 ft/lbs of torque. The
power is transferred through a TREMEC TKO 600 5-speed manual
transmission connected to a GM 12-bolt posi-traction rear end with
3.73 gears. The engine breathes through custom headers connected to
a 3-inch stainless exhaust system with Flowmaster Super 44
mufflers. The Pro-Touring treatment starts with additional chassis
bracing for improved rigidity and then fitted with Global West
upper and lower control arms with matching 2-inch drop spindles,
QA1 adjustable shocks at all four corners with the rear end held in
place using a 4-link setup with panhard bar. Stopping is courtesy
of a CPP Hydraboost system using a Baer master cylinder sending
fluid through stainless lines to Baer six-piston front and
four-piston rear calipers clamping on 14-inch drilled and slotted
rotors at each corner. This custom Bel Air rides on 18-inch Billet
Specialties Turbine wheels wearing low-profile Nitto NT555 G2
tires. Subtle custom exterior touches include narrowed and tucked
one-piece bumpers, a one-off steel cowl hood incorporating a center
section from a 1969 Camaro with extended reveal lines, a custom
one-piece grille surround, and a hand-formed lower valance. The
custom red bench seat interior has a stock dash updated with Dakota
Digital instrumentation, a Billet Specialties steering wheel links
to a Detroit Speed power steering box and a Painless Wiring kit was
used throughout the car. Other upgrades include a Rick's stainless
steel fuel tank, March Performance front pulley kit, Powermaster
alternator and BeCool radiator. Finished in House of Kolor Black,
it was featured in Modern Rodding Magazine.
