1955 Chevrolet Bel Air - Gypsy Red / Shoreline Beige -
Numbers-Matching 265 V8 / Powerglide - CPP Coilovers, Wilwood
Discs, 9-Inch, Dual Exhaust
This '55 Bel Air is the kind of Tri-Five everyone wants: the right
colors, the right stance, and the right mix of originality and
driveable upgrades. It retains its numbers-matching 265ci V8 backed
by the correct Powerglide automatic, and it's been improved where
it counts with a 9-inch rear end, CPP tubular A-arms with
coilovers, front & rear sway bars, and Wilwood front disc brakes.
Finished in Gypsy Red over Shoreline Beige with a matching
Beige/Red interior, it's a clean, classic Bel Air that looks
show-ready and is set up to be enjoyed on the street.
Note: No power steering and no A/C-this is a straightforward,
classic driving experience.

The Drive
This Bel Air keeps the classic feel-manual steering, no A/C, and
that unmistakable Tri-Five character-while benefiting from
suspension and brake upgrades that make it far more composed than a
stock car. The CPP setup and sway bars help it track straighter and
handle bumps and corners with more control, while the Wilwoods
deliver modern stopping confidence. Add the dual exhaust with an
H-pipe and you've got a '55 that looks right, sounds right, and
drives like it should.
