Up for sale in our Tampa Showroom is this stunning 1955 Chevrolet
Bel Air street rod This '55 Bel Air is a show stopper and as it
should with it coming off a frame off restoration. The white-on-red
paint is eye-catching from a distance, but it is the attention to
details that will have this car drawing crowds wherever you take it
with clean chrome trim, emblems and, of course, the iconic airplane
hood ornament. Even the trunk is a time capsule! Inside, however,
the interior has been fully customized with red velour throughout,
diamond plate-look floor mats and a custom shift lever. Hidden just
below the original factory radio is a modern AM/FM/CD/MP3 stereo
head unit also has an SD card slot and USB port, and this is all
played through a four--speaker Rockford Fosgate Punch speaker
system. Ensuring that this 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air is a true head
turner is the V8 that rumbles to life under the hood. Starting life
as a 350, this engine has bored .30 over giving it a displacement
that is now 355 CID, and it has also been upgraded with top-of-the
line components including the forged pistons, rods, valves, rockers
and heads. The heavy cam and 10.5:1 compression ratio makes this
car an even bigger head-turner when it is fired up, and better yet,
there are only about 500 miles on the engine, Sitting on top of the
engine is an aluminum high rise, dual-plane intake and a Quick Fuel
750 carb. This engine is mated to a 5-Speed BorgWarner manual
transmission, which sends power to the rear wheels through a
12-bolt Chevy rear end, and the driveshaft and u-joints are brand
new. Driving this 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air will be just as fun as
parking it as it has been upgraded with disc brakes up front and
drilled rotors and air suspension in the rear. Options for the car
include Cloth interior, AM/FM/C radio, seat belts, power brakes,
aluminum wheels and radial tires. To see more HD pictures and
