Vehicle Description
Owning a classic Chevy is like being invited into a relatively
exclusive club. With millions of enthusiasts worldwide, few things
in life turn heads or garner questions or thumbs up quite like one
of GM's historical highlights. One look at this fully and uniquely
repainted gray 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air, and it's easy to see what
all the fuss is about. Highlighted by its distinctive chrome
accents, Bel Air trim, and upgraded 15-inch Weld Racing wheels,
this '55 shows why it kicks off the public's love affair with
Tri-Five Chevys.
Inside, we find a nicely redone, matching gray leather interior.
With comfy front buckets borrowed from a late-model Pontiac, the
driver's seat is power-adjustable. At the same time, a tilt column
holds a leather-wrapped four-spoke Grant sport steering wheel.
Beyond that sits an upgraded set of white-faced AutoMeter gauges
that, beyond the big tach and speedo, include an offset volt and
fuel gauge beside the modern Pioneer AM/FM/CD head unit. A billet
insert perfectly complements this Chevy's newer carpet and door
panels.
When we pop this car's rear-hinged hood, we find an expansive and
clean engine bay featuring a rebuilt 400 cubic-inch V-8 engine that
we are told has been bored out to 406 cubic inches. Feeding fuel to
this beast is a matching Edelbrock intake and single four-barrel
Edelbrock carburetor which is then sent through the block and out
of a set of long tube headers before a dual exhaust and
sweet-sounding set of Dynomax mufflers announce this car's presence
everywhere it goes.
HIGHLIGHTS:
• 406 CID V8 (appox 300 miles on rebuild)
• Edelbrock Intake
• Edelbrock 4 Barrel Carb
• Long Tubes w/ Dynomax Mufflers
• TH400 Three Speed Auto w/ Trans Cooler
• Ford 9 Inch Rear w/ 4.33 Gears
• Power Disc Brakes

• Weld Racing Wheels
With only around 300 miles on this car's rebuilt engine to go along
with its rebuilt TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, complete
with trans cooler and temperature gauge, this 1955 Chevrolet Bel
Air is ready for plenty of Power Tours and cruising to nowhere in
particular. The addition of power steering and four-wheel power
disc brakes to go along with those Weld Wheels and staggered
215/70R-15 front and 22560R-15 rear Hercules rubber ensures this
car will be capable of weaving through downtown traffic or out on
the open highway. If you've always wanted to join the growing club
of classic Chevy owners, this car is your ticket to VIP access.
