1955 Chevrolet Bel Air

1955 Chevrolet Bel Air - Gypsy Red / Shoreline Beige - Numbers-Matching 265 V8 / Powerglide - CPP Coilovers, Wilwood Discs, 9-Inch, Dual Exhaust

This 55 Bel Air is the kind of Tri-Five everyone wants: the right colors, the right stance, and the right mix of originality and driveable upgrades. It retains its numbers-matching 265ci V8 backed by the correct Powerglide automatic, and its been improved where it counts with a 9-inch rear end, CPP tubular A-arms with coilovers, front & rear sway bars, and Wilwood front disc brakes. Finished in Gypsy Red over Shoreline Beige with a matching Beige/Red interior, its a clean, classic Bel Air that looks show-ready and is set up to be enjoyed on the street.

Note: No power steering and no A/C-this is a straightforward, classic driving experience.
