1955 Chevrolet Bel Air

Description

Any Tri-Five Chevy is a cool car, but some are shining stars amongst the standouts. This 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air post car has all the right features for show & go. It has all the best pieces, including shimmering two-tone paint, comfortable leather and A/C interior, throaty exhaust that gets angrier on demand, and a performance-built small block backed by a manual gearbox. There was money invested in keeping this looking like a classic and adding the right upgrades, and all of it was very well spent.

The two-tone turquoise and white color combination is exactly how you want this classic to look. The superior luster on this one is courtesy of a more modern re-spray. 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 that happened back in the day. The mirror-like bumpers, door handle pinstriping, dual exhaust, and American Racing Torq Thrust wheels all come together in a custom package that could be straight out of American Graffiti. But more than just nostalgia, make sure you take some time to look at how it gets the fundamentals correct. All the body panels fit well, the doors close with authority, and all the hard to find intricate trim is complete.

The same turquoise, white, and chrome attitude on the exterior is continued on the interior. You truly see this everywhere, including the dash, headliner, carpeting, steering wheel, and artful door panels. You'll especially love the way this looks on the pristine white leather seats with bright turquoise inserts. In total, it creates the quality uniform appearance that everyone (including judges) love to see at the car shows. More than just look outstanding, this Bel Air was built to enjoy. That's why you have great upgrades like the AM/FM/cassette stereo that utilizes a digital tuner but classic knob style-appearance. The R134a air conditioning keeps everyone cool, in this cool cruiser. But the best treats are reserved just for you. The later-generation Bel Air steering wheel gives you a clear view of column-mounted horizontal tach. That's an important piece to go with the Hurst shifter that's irresistible to your right hand.

We love these '55 Chevy for plenty of reasons, including because they debuted the small-block V8, and this one takes the now-legendary motor to the extreme. So grab your sunglasses before opening the hood. The tidy engine bay gives you a terrific view of all the polished components, including the valve covers, air topper, hoses, alternator, pulleys, and so much more. When you look beyond the shine, you'll see some serious performance upgrades, too. This is a 383 cubic-inch stroker motor that inhales deeply through a Holley four-barrel carburetor, and exhales from Hooker long tube headers. This Bel Air has a seriously sweet rumble out of the dual exhaust, but if you need instant intimidation on demand, there's a switch that activates the cutouts for even more growl. Best of all, you get complete control over the enhanced V8's soundtrack thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. But more than just a performer, this was built to be an easy driver, too. That's why you get great features like power steering and front disc brakes.

This Bel Air takes all the iconic elements and adds all the right comfortable upgrades. It's a total package classic is turnkey ready right now. So you know it won't wait around long. Call now!!
