This stunning '55 Bel Air has just 33 miles since completion and
was built to the highest of standards throughout. An original
California car, it underwent a complete frame-off restoration with
the body chemically dipped and E-coated for lifetime corrosion
protection. The chassis is a work of art, featuring a Heidts Hot
Rod Shop suspension, coil-over front end with rack-and-pinion
steering, and a John's Industries 1000-horsepower Ford 9-inch rear
end with a triangulated four-link setup and coil-over springs.
Stopping power comes from Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes, with all new
stainless brake lines, wiring, and glass installed during the
build.
Powering this masterpiece is a fresh Chevrolet 427ci V8 producing
over 400 horsepower, paired with a Turbo 400 automatic transmission
and 3.73 rear gears. The car exhales through a hand-fabricated
3-inch stainless exhaust system with Borla mufflers, while a
Painless wiring harness and Dakota Digital gauges handle the modern
touches. It rolls on American Racing 22-inch wheels wrapped in
Goodyear Eagle F1 tires, perfectly blending classic style with
modern performance.
The body and paintwork are simply breathtaking-every panel was
meticulously straightened and aligned, with a smoothed firewall for
a show-quality engine bay. All side chrome and emblems were
hand-painted to replicate OEM-style moldings, enhanced by custom
flames seamlessly integrated into the design for a one-of-a-kind
look. The craftsmanship, detail, and finish are top-shelf from
every angle.
Without question, this is one of the finest 1955 Bel Airs we've
ever seen-fresh, flawless, and ready to impress on the show field
or the boulevard!
