This is a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air two-door hardtop that has been built into a beautiful custom vehicle. The car has many custom touches. The body is Electric Blue with Clearwater Blue Pearl accented with chrome and polished stainless. Wheels are chrome Foose five-spokes. Bumpers have been filled and have no bolt holes. The car has been nosed and decked. The interior has four bucket seats with a custom made console. The gauges and stereo are modern units. Car is super easy to drive with power rack and pinion steering and power four wheel disc brakes. Engine is a built 327 bored 30 over with mild cam, aluminum heads and lots of dress-up items. Power goes to a rebuilt Muncie four-speed transmission and rebuilt 10-bolt posi-traction rear with 3:73 gears. The car has been lowered with special springs in front. The wiring has been replaced with a custom built harness. All glass is new and tinted. It has Vintage Air with AC, heat and defrost. The owner spared no expense in building this car into what you see in the photos. The car is show quality, built by professionals. He asked me to list the car because he is buying another vehicle similar to one his wife owned years ago. Email any question and you can ask for the owner's number to set up a time to see the car.
