1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Survivor Coupe

This is a freshly frame-off restored 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-door hardtop with just 297 miles since the restoration was completed. The body is incredibly straight and is coated in a deep high gloss Black Cherry Metallic paint that really glistens in the sunlight. The chrome that these Bel Airs are known for breaks it up nicely and is all in show quality condition. The interior is fully restored but left mostly original in appearance. It has the cloth and vinyl combination on the seats, which have been reupholstered, new door panels, carpet, Bel Air floor mats and fresh paint on the dash and trim pieces. The headliner is also new and features the classy chrome bows. The dash is pure Tri-Five class with a modern touch in the gauge cluster. These gauges look great and gives you a lot more information than the factory ones from 1955. They provide the outside temperature, trip odometer, average and high speeds and RPMs for your trip, 0-60 and ¼ miles times! Vintage Air controls look right at home in the dash and make switching from heat to A/C a breeze. The trunk is nicely finished off with a stock style rubber mat and spare tire. Under the hood is where the largest changes have happened, and they are all with comfort and drivability in mind! A Corvette Tuned Port Injected 350 CID V8 engine was rebuilt and paired with a Corvette 4-speed manual transmission. The power the healthy V8 puts down is sent to a Ford 9” rear end out back with a Currie gear set. This car is built for highway cruising and has power steering and power disc brakes to make it even more enjoyable. The front suspension is upgraded with CCP tubular upper control arms. The dual exhaust has a great note that lets people know you’ve got a V8 under the hood, but is far from obnoxious. The exhaust exits under the rear bumper and is adorned with chrome tips that have Bel Air emblems in them. There are nice features like that everywhere you look on this 55 Chevy. From the red steel wheels with hub caps, the white wall radial tires, the chrome bumperettes front and rear and the red accents in the Bel Air trim.
