When you want a custom classic where all the hard work is already doneand#44; take a look at this iconic 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air. With a beautiful red exteriorand#44; custom A/C interiorand#44; performance V8 under the hoodand#44; and only about 4and#44;700 miles on the whole buildand#44; all you have to do is drive to the car shows and get the trunk ready for all the trophies. When you have a custom that looks this cooland#44; youll also love to know it starts with the right foundation. This is a genuine V8-spec 1955 Bel Air that has been given a full restoration. Now this iconic coupe has a level of perfection and attention the factory could never have the time to do. Then there was an investment in a modern metallic red that makes the Bel Air look like it was dipped in candy. Against paint this nice only the best brightwork will do. The grilleand#44; bumpersand#44; and jet-inspired trim are all complete and mirror-like. This is essential because so many pieces are specific to the 55and#44; and it all launched the legend of the Tri-Five Chevy. But not all the brightwork is straight from the factory. After alland#44; you instantly are drawn to the 17-inch Cragar wheels. This might be an iconic classicand#44; but the moment you open the doorand#44; you see a very modern level of comfort. The two-tone tan leather is worthy of awards all on its own. The custom center consoleand#44; seatsand#44; door panelsand#44; headlinerand#44; and even the trunk are a fully coordinated package that is sure to draw attention. Factory elements like the steering wheel and Corvette-like dual cowl dash let you know youre driving a classic 55and#44; but they are joined buy plenty of luxury and performance upgrades. The AM/FM/CD stereo with an aux input for modern music players and the ice-cold R134a air conditioning are featureless everyone will love. But the Dakota Digital full gauge package and Bandamp;M Megashifter shifter are treats reserved just for the driver. Grab your sunglasses before popping the hoodand#44; because everything that isnt covered in the awesome red has been polished to a mirror shine. Part of what makes these cars a legend is that 1955 was the first production year for the Chevy small block V8. The only optional eight-cylinder in this inaugural year was the 265 cubic-inch motor. So this keeps the original small block spiritand#44; but it has been given a serious upgrade to 350 ci. And the upgrades dont stop there. This V8 has go-fast goodies such as Edelbrock four-barrel carburetorand#44; Edelbrock intakeand#44; Edelbrock Performer headsand#44; March serpentine drive bracketand#44; HEI distributorand#44; and shorty headers feeding a rumbling H-pipe dual exhaust. Its all backed up by reliable components such as the Griffin aluminum radiator w/dual electric fans. So you can be sitting in traffic with the A/C onand#44; and this 55 will still run cool. Since its setup to be a great running classicand#44; its a real driverand#44; too. The suspension has been upgraded with features like CPP upper and lower control armsand#44; QA1 coiloversand#44; and a rear anti-sway bar. Add in power steeringand#44; front disc brakesand#44; Goodyear Eagle GT tiresand#44; and a 700R4 four-speed automatic w/overdriveand#44; and you can instantly tell this is a great anytime cruising classic. A fantastic presentation thats custom from every angle. This is the icon that you drive and showand#44; but you can only do it all if youre the first to snatch it up. Call today!!! |
