![]() This is an extraordinary '55 BelAir that words cannot really describe - it must be seen to be appreciated. The differential is carried on leaf springs and contains 3.23:1 gearing. Suspension components have been upgraded including tubular A-arms and heavy-duty front sway bar. It incorporates rack-and-pinion power steering and power disc/drum brakes w/dual master and stainless lines. The chassis has been totally detailed and remains virtually spotless. This BelAir looks beautiful from any angle – even below. The transmission is believed to be a 4L60E 4-speed automatic – second gen 700R4. An aluminum radiator furnishes cooling and the battery has been moved to the trunk. Exhaust is routed to a custom stainless system with crossover pipe and dual cutouts. It is fitted with an aluminum manifold, Edelbrock carb and mild street cam. The impressive custom engine compartment is home to a 350ci small block that was totally rebuilt in 2016. Enjoy the ride with A/C, power tinted windows, tilt wheel, power seats and an incredible AM/FM/CD stereo system. The 'trademark' BelAir wheel has been replaced with a custom alloy/wood grain unit and a set of Classic Instrument gauges are mounted in the factory dash pod. The plush ostrich leather is stunning with four-bucket seats, a full console and flawless carpeting. The interior can only be described as outstanding – beyond show quality. This BelAir sits lower than factory on upgraded suspension and 17” 5-spoke chrome alloys that mount Michelins up front and meaty GrandPrix Tour R/S radials on the rear. (It must be noted that the owner who built this car restored classics for a living.) The application of 'OW Red' paint is virtually flawless, as is all chrome and stainless body trim. ![]() A complete restoration was completed in 2016 and the attention to detail on this ONE FAMILY owned North Carolina car is unbelievable. From the beautiful paint to the stunning interior to the powerful drivetrain, this '55 BelAir is a perfect example of a vision brought to life. In order to transform a Tri-Five Chevy into a top-flight Resto Mod, you must have a clear vision and oversee every aspect of the process to reach the goal.
