For Sale: 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air in Concord, North Carolina

While restomods will always have a place in the autoverse, there is something to be said for a classic car that looks and feels mostly the way it did when it was new, with only a few helpful upgrades. This Coral and Shadow Grey two-tone 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air comes to us outfitted with factory chrome, side skirts, white-wall tires, and even a continental kit, giving it the look and feel of a true representative of the mid-1950s automotive scene.

Inside, an original-looking two-tone Coral and Charcoal Grey interior features a split-bench front seat, a column shifter, and a large Bel Air logo above its analog clock to advertise this car's top-tier trim. Power rack-and-pinion steering, air conditioning, and an aftermarket console with dual cup holders and a satellite radio controller have been added to provide a bit of modern convenience on longer trips. An AM/FM/AUX head unit sits in its factory location, while a pair of aftermarket white-faced gauges display water temperature and RPMs from their under-dash-mounted location.

Under the freshly and fully insulated hood, we find a transplanted 350-cubic-inch V-8 engine with a new polished alternator, valve covers, brake booster, and master cylinder. Missing from the picture is the battery, which has been relocated to the trunk. A single four-barrel carburetor feeds this small block, while spent gases are expelled via shorty headers and a true dual exhaust. That small block's power is routed through a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission before heading out to a GM rear end and on to a set of fifteen-inch wheels wrapped in those beautiful 205/75R-15 white-wall tires.
