Vehicle Description
This 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air custom convertible is the recipient of
an extensive two-year restoration and is powered by a new
fuel-injected 383ci crate stroker engine with aluminum heads and a
serpentine pulley system. This powerplant is coupled with a custom
4-speed automatic transmission and exhales through a custom
2.5-inch Corvette exhaust. The entire original suspension was
removed and replaced front to back. The sub-frame assembly includes
many upgrades, such as independent front suspension with power rack
& pinion steering, billet lower control arms and 4-link rear
suspension. Additional custom options include custom Corvette rear
suspension, custom-fabricated CND Hot Rod Road Hugger Art Morrison
frame and a Griffin aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. This
car is equipped with power 4-wheel 4-piston disc brakes with
drilled and slotted rotors. It rolls on custom Cragar-style 5-spoke
17-inch wheels retrofitted for the Bel Air. It's also equipped with
power windows, power steering and RainGear intermittent wipers with
a new American Autowire wiring kit. The body of the car was refined
to achieve panel alignment and a smooth finish. The PPG two-stage
paint was applied with multiple layers of clearcoat, and all chrome
components were restored to a high shine for a mirror-like finish
on the bumpers and emblems. The interior features an all-new
designer Italian leather in tan with red stitching accents and
German-style square-weave carpet in tan, contrasted by the
custom-made Haartz power convertible top and leather boot. A custom
original-style Flaming River chrome tilt Bel Air steering wheel
complements a new set of gauges. A custom leather-wrapped console
between the driver and passenger houses switches for upgraded
features that include the Bluetooth stereo with custom speakers and
a Vintage Air system. ** PREVIEW
