Vehicle Description
This custom 1955 Chevrolet Nomad received a frame-off,
rotisserie-restoration by Denny's Bowtie Restoration that took 2
years to complete. The Van Nuys-built Southern California body was
placed on a rotisserie, stripped, then metal-finished, with several
coats of DTM applied and blocked. Four coats of PPG Greystone
Metallic and then five coats of House of Kolor show clear were
used, then cut and buffed. This Nomad is powered by a Texas Speed
Billet LS engine with dual billet TorqStorm superchargers producing
1,125hp, presently tuned to 750hp for street use. It is equipped
with a custom stainless exhaust with Bassani stainless mufflers,
wastegate adjustment Mad Dog special-programmed 4L70E automatic
transmission, Inland Empire 3.5-inch aluminum driveshaft and
Strange Truetrac differential on an Art Morrison GT chassis with
RideTech air-ride suspension. Stopping power comes from Wilwood
hydro-boost front and rear big brakes with 13-inch slotted 6-piston
in front and 12-inch slotted rotors in the rear, along with an
internal electronic emergency brake. Other features include a Ricks
18-gallon stainless fuel tank and a lithium 1,200 amp battery with
an Odyssey remote 750 amp battery. The exterior is equipped with an
electronic taillight gas fill, Dakota Gray shaded glass and
Kindig-It "Spoon" door handles. The custom interior features
Corinthian Italian leather, a Vintage Air system, Dakota Digital
gauges, German square-weave wool carpet and a custom Alpine
entertainment system with a backup camera display. This Nomad is
sitting on air-ride suspension with 20x9 AR Stiletto front wheels
wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 225X35XZR20 tires. In the rear
are 20x10.5 Stiletto rear wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S
265X35ZR20 tires.
