For more information on this vehicle visit Combining a healthy dose of resto-mod attitude with one of the best automotive designs ever produced, this irresistible '55 custom is a high power monster that puts a new spin on an old favorite! Showcasing classic Chevrolet lines and clean Neptune Green paint, this fantastic Bel Air is the beneficiary of a high quality, frame-off restoration that created one unique and very impressive cruiser. After spending many years rolling down the road as a bone-stock bowtie, the car's solid body was shipped to a professional restoration shop for a high dollar overhaul. Once that body's panels were completely stripped and thoroughly worked, it was layered in a smooth basecoat and sealed in a tough clearcoat. And today, this slick resto-mod, which hints at classic gassers of days gone by, is the kind of car we all stare at, fondly remember, and rarely get the chance to own! By now it's probably pretty obvious this classic was built to be seen. But thanks to the 409 cubic inch, dual-quad V8 under its rolled hood, that might be easier said than done! At the top of the Chevy Orange mill, big Carter carburetors hang circular filter elements over a small stainless fluid line and cool AC fuel bowl. Below those carburetors, a proven aluminum intake funnels a perfect air/fuel mixture into big, free-breathing heads that hide slick roller rockers under finned Weiand valve covers. When the juice hits the cylinders, an aftermarket distributor shoots spark through loomed Mallory Pro Wires while a solid lifter cam pushes spent gases into impressive, ceramic coated headers. And cooling for that fire is provided by a polished brass radiator, which hangs in front of a stylish chrome alternator. Behind that awesome big block, a smooth shifting Muncie 4-speed sends power to a posi-traction rear end that's equipped with big, gears. Turns come courtesy of traditional manual steering, which gives the car a vintage, connected feel. Speed is scrubbed by manual, 4-wheel drum brakes, which provide solid, confident stops. An impressive true-dual exhaust system, which is equipped with optional side-exit dumps, funnels spent gases through great sounding Flowmaster dual-chamber mufflers. The car's glossy black frame and clean green floorpan complement a rebuilt 'glide ride' ball-joint suspension that's fitted with fresh shocks and thick traction bars. And all that reliable hardware rolls on a sweet set of polished American Racing Torq Thrust IIs, which spin A78-15 Glass-Track Twin Guards in front of Racemaster Super Stocks. Inside this sedan, traditional Bel Air style is augmented by an array of green and gray detailing. At the center of the car, firm bench seats wear comfortable cloth skin that's framed in bright chrome trim. At the front of those seats, a Neptune Green dash hangs factory telemetry and a stylized delete over small Stewart Warner accessory gauges. And the driver stays connected to the road thanks to a chrome-trimmed steering wheel and trick Hurst shifter. If you've been searching for a top notch tri-five custom that's as much fun to drive as it is to show, this cool sedan's attractive combination of great performance and classic style simply can't be beat.
