Vehicle Description
When it comes to nearly universal appeal, few cars bring it quite
like a Chevrolet tri-five. While a lot of classics place an
emphasis on speed, style or some other singular piece of the
puzzle, the quintessential Chevy continues to thrive as a malleable
definition of everything to everyone. With almost all the dials
turned past 11, this tailored Bel Air resto-mod is a car that'll
fulfill the needs of virtually any enthusiast. And, from its smooth
LS3 power and proven 4L80E 4-speed to its custom leather upholstery
and choice Air Ride Technologies suspension, pretty much any
spectator with a pulse can find something to admire!
TWICE THE DOORS, TWICE THE STYLE
The product of a professional, $250K build that was completed by
Fort Mill, South Carolina's Vintage Cars Inc., this stunning Chevy
has, in addition to winning numerous national awards, been featured
in both the Goodguys Gazette and Street Rodder Magazine. From
casual glances to long looks, the car exudes a sense of quality
that comes from countless hours of work and serious attention to
detail. With straight panels and impressive panel fitment, its body
sets the standard for what to expect from the rest of the build.
There are no notable modifications, aside from $50K of modern
two-stage that manifests as Chrysler Inferno Red Metallic under
Ford Merlot Metallic. And overall, this slick sedan is right at
home turning heads on the road OR logging points at a show!
Not surprisingly, this Chevy's classy pigment creates a fabulous
foundation for a select array of mirrored bolt-ons. At the front of
the car, a polished bumper props polished guards in front of a
polished grille, clear parking lamps and traditional,
stainless-trimmed headlights. At the top of that grille, a
Chevrolet-branded hood centers a correct Jetbird between ornate
fender toppers and stainless-trimmed glass that's cleared by
polished wipers. At the base of that glass, a silky, Bel
Air-branded profile hangs small mirrors and expressive Speed Spears
between a power antenna, guarded door handles and flowing rocker
shields. And at the back of that profile, a second polished bumper
floats two more guards beneath an ornate trunk crest and old school
Blue Dot Taillights.
STILL SMALL BLOCK POWER
Serving as primary motivation for an entire roster of General
Motors' latest and greatest performance cars, this classic's proven
LS3 utilizes a hearty 6.2 liters of displacement to turn easy
horsepower into years of reliable torque! At the top of the
aluminum mill, polished tubes swirl cool air between a factory
throttle body and remote, reusable filter cones. That valve fronts
a lightweight composite intake that's juiced by electronic fuel
injection. That air/fuel mixture progresses to rectangular-port
L92-style heads, which tuck nicely between familiar GM wires and a
polished engine shroud. A nodular crank, powdered connecting rods
and hypereutectic pistons provide compression, while a hydraulic
roller cam maximizes intake efficiency. Speaking of breathing, the
smooth mill funnels spent gases through coated headers. A polished
Griffin radiator fronts a custom support and quick-spinning puller
fans. A polished serpentine drive spins modern air conditioning
above modern power steering. And items like a massaged firewall,
polished reservoirs, trick sticks and polished hood supports convey
a sense of top-notch detailing.
AIR FOR ALL
Bottom-side, the spry small block funnels power through a proven
4L80E 4-speed automatic transmission, which twists torque to a
predictable Ford 9-inch rear end that's finished with 3.55 gears
and 31-spline axles. Those axles push a heavily massaged rear-clip
that follows a web of tubular arms with fully adjustable Air Ride
Technologies bags. Up front, a thick sway bar leads tubular control
arms and two more self-leveling Air Ride Technologies bags. That
modern suspension gets stopped by power-assisted calipers, which
utilize a polished booster to squeeze drilled and vented rotors.
Turns come courtesy of power rack-and-pinion steering. Fluids get
shuffled by a polished fuel tank. Aluminized exhaust centers
throaty Flowmaster mufflers in front of polished stainless tips.
And all that mechanical goodness rolls on polished Foose Shockwave
wheels, which spin 215/50ZR17 Pirelli P Zeros in front of
245/50ZR17 Pirelli P Zero tires.
CUSTOM IS KING
Pop the doors and you'll find a choice custom interior that's both
stylish and purposeful. Modern, power-operated buckets, sourced
from a Cadillac Escalade, wrap supple leather hides around
integrated shoulder belts. A body-matched dash bends polished and
bowtie-branded billet around modern air conditioning and Dakota
Digital telemetry. A custom console cages a Pioneer Premier head
unit which, with the help of American Autowire wiring, bumps
Pioneer Premier speakers behind Memphis Car Audio speakers. Custom
side panels anchor sculpted armrests in front of power windows,
power door locks and power vent windows. Thick Dynamat insulation
floats premium carpet through a custom-upholstered trunk. And the
driver spins a body-matched Bel Air steering wheel around a
polished, tilting column.
When it comes to maximizing the amount of metal your money buys,
you simply can't go wrong with a world class tri-five. Thanks to a
well-planned build that utilized top notch components, this
legendary Chevy is fun, reliable and ready to turn heads. Looking
for a stylish classic that commands big respect on both the
boulevard and the show field? Look no further than this
sophisticated Bel Air!
