This custom 1955 Chevrolet Nomad is powered by a Chevrolet
Performance SP350/357 Deluxe crate V-8 engine, part number
19435438, sourced from Scoggins Dickey and paired with a Monster
Transmission 700R4 Stage 2 automatic transmission. The engine
compartment features custom color-matched air cleaner and valve
covers. Additional upgrades include an electronic fuel pump system,
new lines, hoses and belts, a custom driveshaft and headers
connected to a custom stainless-steel exhaust system. The
suspension has been lowered 2 inches using a Ridetech StreetGrip
suspension system with composite one-piece rear springs. Additional
chassis upgrades include a four-wheel disc brake conversion, power
steering conversion and electronic parking brake. Cooling is
handled by a Champion aluminum radiator with electric cooling fans.
The exterior retains a stock appearance and rides on factory wheels
and hubcaps fitted with larger Coker tires. The interior features
the original carpet and seats, as well as a Flaming River tilt
steering column, 15-inch steering wheel, Dakota Digital dash
cluster and Vintage Air climate-control system with air
conditioning and heat. The car was purchased by its current owner
from the Don Salmon Collection and has been kept in a
climate-controlled environment.
