INTRODUCTION: Drop-dead gorgeous colors paired with chrome US Mags.
Just 1,725 miles since a body-off, rotisserie restoration. It has
all the right features-air conditioning, power steering, and power
brakes-plus a 5-speed that makes it an absolute blast to drive.
EXTERIOR: The finish on this car is absolutely stunning-you can
practically shave in the reflection. The body is laser straight,
clean from the rockers to the roof, with precise gaps throughout.
The doors fit so well you don't slam them-just let go and they
click shut on their own. All of the chrome and stainless has been
replaced, including extras like bumper guards, stone shields, and
rocker moldings. The glass is crystal clear all the way around, and
the weatherstripping has been replaced. It also features bright LED
taillights and sits on staggered US Mag wheels-17s up front and 18s
in back-wrapped in performance tires for the perfect stance.
INTERIOR: The interior is just as impressive as the exterior-the
contrasting red is absolutely stunning. It's clearly a professional
restoration with excellent fit and finish throughout. Down on the
floor is fresh red carpet, matching mats and a 5-speed shifter! The
door panels are custom, yet retain a classic look and feature new
window cranks, handles, and armrests. The seats have been
recushioned and beautifully reupholstered. The metal trim is
painted gloss red, complemented by polished billet accents across
the dash. It's been upgraded with a full set of modern gauges, a
retro stereo, heat and A/C controls, and a tilt column with a
Billet Specialties steering wheel. Overhead, a new red headliner
and matching visors complete the look. Behind the scenes, it's been
updated with a new wiring harness and modern push-in fuse
panel.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: You better have your sunglasses on when you
open the hood-this engine bay sparkles like a jewelry case. Power
comes from a strong 350 V8 making about 350 horsepower, topped with
a polished aluminum intake, Edelbrock carb with electric choke, and
HEI ignition. A set of coated headers lets it breathe, while the
front of the engine is dressed with polished brackets, A/C
compressor, alternator and it features power steering. The valve
covers, breathers, and air cleaner are all chrome, with neatly
routed plug wires through custom holders. Even the power brake
booster and master cylinder are chrome. It runs cool with a
polished aluminum radiator and electric fan, and features a gel
battery and upgraded wiper motor. The entire compartment is
beautifully detailed and painted-show-quality throughout.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and in the jamb, the paint
is finished slick just like the exterior. Inside, it's detailed to
match the interior with a stunning red finish, fully boxed and
upholstered for a clean, custom look. The carpeted floor adds a
refined touch and there is even a CD changer for added
convenience.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame during restoration, it's as
pretty underneath! The frame and chassis components were powder
coated, the floors are pristine metal and painted gloss black. The
steering and suspension was rebuilt, upgraded with upper tubular
control arms in front and air shocks in back. The dual exhaust
sounds great and has polished stainless Magnaflow mufflers and
polished tips. The brake system was rebuilt and upgraded with discs
in front. The lines and e-brake assembly were replaced. The fuel
system was replaced and the tank is gloss black. Looking up at the
motor it is spotless and has a high torque starter. A 5-speed trans
delivers power to a 10 bolt rear end with cruising gears and a
chrome cover.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car
we sell.
CONCLUSION: When I bought this car, I loved everything about it-but
I'll be honest, the colors are what made it a no-brainer. This '55
is absolutely killer, and it's guaranteed to get the attention it
deserves wherever it goes.
