"Ground Up Bel Air Restomod Supercharged 6.2L V8 Automatic Air Conditioning.
The 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air is an iconic car from the 1950s and a classic model in the Chevrolet lineup. It was part of the second generation of Chevrolet's Bel Air series, which spanned from 1955 to 1957. The 1955 Bel Air is often considered one of the most stylish and desirable cars of its era and is a symbol of the 1950s American automotive culture.
This 55 Chevy Bel Air has a great distinctive and stylish design. It features a sleek and elegant appearance with chrome accents, prominent body lines and a classic red on red paint scheme.
Sitting in the engine bay is a new GM LSX376-B15 crate engine with a Whipple 2.9 supercharger on top. Exhaust exists by way of long tube headers and dual stainless-steel pipes. Gears are operated via a floor shifter connected to a 4L75 automatic transmission with overdrive. Outback you will find a Ford 9"" rearend.
The LSX376-B15 is durable, and its all-forged rotating assembly supports up to 15 pounds of boost. The engine is topped off with high-flow, LSX-LS3 6-bolt rectangular-port heads to create an affordable foundation for supercharged and turbocharged combinations.
When it comes to handling, this 55 Tri Five can get it done with coilover shocks on all four corners, tubular a-arms along with power rack and pinion steering. Helping to keep this coupe planted to the pavement are new Nitto premium tires, 235/40R18 front & 275/40R20 rear all mounted on Riddler wheels.
The interior of this 55 is a mix of style and comfort with a tasteful dashboard, bucket seats, center console and all wrapped in red leather.
1955 Chevy Bel Air is a highly sought-after classic car, and well-built customs like this one command a premium in the collector car market.
Bel Air is a beloved classic car known for its timeless design and place in automotive history. It remains a popular choice for car enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate its nostalgic charm and significance in the American car culture.
