You already know how much of an icon the Tri-Five Chevys areand#44; so imagine our delight when this 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air showed up with ultra slick two-tone paintand#44; a performance-enhanced small blockand#44; a custom interiorand#44; and four-on-the-floor. Its a turnkey rumbling street machine for one of the best prices youll ever find for a complete 55. This is a unique take on an American icon. Two-tone always looks great on these Bel Airsand#44; and this one turns it up a notch with a modern red that has so much luster that the front emblems were removed so you could see how the color cascades over the hood. Plusand#44; the silver is so shiny that it was even used to color the bumpers. The total package makes for a true standout without altering everything we love about these 55s. It sets the tone perfectly for how you want to be seen in this hardtop coupe – a great classic that has been enhanced for a little more look at me! attitude. Add in the complete trim that makes a Bel Air truly unique; the pillared body that has a little more rarity; and the large 17-inch torque thrust-style wheels for extra flairand#44; and this makes for one irresistible icon. One look insideand#44; and you can tell how much was invested in this custom build. After alland#44; those modern leather front buckets are vastly more comfortable than anything that came out of the 1950s. Plusand#44; its custom two-tone gray pattern is repeated on the rear seatsand#44; door panelsand#44; and carpeting for a very cool uniform look throughout the interior. Theres even a custom center condole that matches all of thisand#44; and it carries great features like the AM/FM/CD stereo and cup holders. You get a stylish three-spoke sports steering wheel for your left handand#44; and your right one works the floor gearshift. It would be a shame to ruin the cool look of the stylish speedometer on the dual cowl dashand#44; but theres also a need to have more info on whats going on in the engine bay. Soand#44; the Classic Instruments setup allows for a full readout packageand#44; including tachand#44; while retaining the vintage silhouette. You might want to put on sunglasses before you lift the hood. There was a ton invested in getting the engine bay to look this fantastic with all the polished componentsand#44; including the valve coversand#44; battery boxand#44; and the massive air scoop. 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. In factand#44; it doesnt just stop at a 350 cubic-inchesand#44; because it has been bored .30 over with a 292 cam and roller rockers. There are also dual four-barrel Edelbrock carburetorsand#44; an Edelbrock intakeand#44; and long tube headers. This Bel Air has a seriously sweet rumble out of the dual exhaustand#44; but if you need instant intimidation on demandand#44; theres a center console switch that activates the cutouts for even more growl. Best of alland#44; you get complete control over the enhanced V8s soundtrack thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. But more than just a performerand#44; this was built to be an easy driverand#44; too. Thats why you get great features like power steering and front disc brakes. This is cool cruising Bel Air that has been restored with all the right upgradesand#44; including paintand#44; enhanced V8and#44; and a killer interior. Its amazing this total package is available at this priceand#44; so you know it wont be with us long. Call today!!! |
