For Sale: 1955 Chevrolet Street Rod in Annandale, Minnesota

Vehicle Description

'55 Chevy's are made for builds like this and if you've never seen "American Graffiti" or "Two Lane Blacktop" you need to put them on your must-see movie list. The same '55 appeared in both of those movies and lit the fuse for many to build one just like it. Gasser or Pro Street, it's a blank canvas for freedom of expression and the beautiful example we have here hits the nail on the head with a classic touch. Call Terry (952) 451-2104 with any questions you may have. See the video https://youtube.com/watch?v=Z1X5zivzRiA. INTRO/HISTORY: The '55 210 Post is the drag racer's choice known for its rigidity. This one is built for cruising whether you are rumbling to the show or heading for the drag strip. No fancy dated graphics here, it's done up in classic twotone traditional, but underneath beats the heart of a ground pounder capable of tattooing the pavement with tire smoking abandon at will. All you need is a Supercharged Big Block, tubs big enough to fill up the rear wheel wells with some extra-wide rubber, add a roll cage and you're good to go. Clean and clear title. EXT: - Two-tone Orange & Cream - Weld alloy wheels on big & littles - Mildly tubbed rear wheel wells - Perfect stance and proportion - Vintage Minnesota license plate - Classic jet airplane hood ornament - Fit and finish are very nice INT: - Racing seats w/ harnesses - Roll cage w/ room for a back seat - Power steering and power brakes - B&M shifter - Bel Air aluminum dash trim - Jegs racing tachometer - Under dash aftermarket gauges ENGINE: - 468 cubic inch Chevy Big Block V8 - Automatic transmission w/ B&M shifter - Blower with two 4-barrel carbs - Headers w/ side exit exhaust - Aluminum radiator keeps it cool - Wilwood disc brakes pull in the reigns - 12-bolt Positraction rear end CONDITION: - $5k just spent on maintenance (see receipts) - Paint & chrome look very nice - Runs strong, idles with just the right amount of lope - Engine compartment is well sorted - No evidence of any rust issues - All systems work as designed - Safety checked and turn-key ready CLOSING: The whir of the blower and the thunder of a modified Big Block are worth the price of admission, but as a bonus you get a head-turning piece of Americana in the form of a deceptively traditional appearing rolling art form known as the '55 Chevy. Traditional at first glance until you notice the width of the rear tires and a blower rising out of the hood. This is a special E-ticket ride and that "E" does not stand for electric, but rather "Eclectic" which is what makes a Pro Street build that's done right so much fun. Experience this one today. NOTES: Our car is a 210 Post with some Bel Air flavor which is a great choice for this build. VIN plate on the door jamb. It will read V, if it came with a V-8, then A=150,B=210, and C=Bel Air. Followed by the model year 55 Source: 150 vs 210 | Chevy Tri Five Forum On ours: the Aluminum dash trim with Chevy bowties is from a Bel Air. 210's had the Chevrolet script on the speaker grill like ours and Bel Airs had Bel Air script on the speaker grill in gold.
