1955 Chevrolet Bel Air

Description

A real-deal 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air two-door with plenty of V8 power is already pretty darn exciting. So when it looks ready for the streets and the price is so obtainable, you know it's a deal that's quite nice.

When you close your eyes and picture a cool-cruising Bel Air, this is exactly what comes to mind. The red and white is so iconic, that you almost feel like drinking a Coke just looking at this one. And more than just the ideal two-tone, we love the '55 for being a style master. The two colors are expertly divided by plenty of bright trim that provides a well-defined boarder (that's why it's so important to find a car as complete as this one.) The '55 Chevy launched the legendary Tri-Five era with the wide grille, form-fitting bumper, and curvaceous hood with a jet plane ornament taking off from the center. And in the rear, there's just the right amount of tailfin. They even just added a new bumper to make sure this chrome king really shines. But we also love the subtler touches. The steel wheels look great in a color-matched white, and you can instantly tell that the rear ones are wider because this is a true street machine.

Inside this one is set up to be more comfortable with the vinyl interior that was changed over to a plush cloth later in life. But this still retains the features you love, like plenty of brightwork and the dual cowl dash that reminds us of the Corvette. And the trunk even has a charming factory-style presentation. There's an upgraded AM/FM/cassette stereo to keep passengers happy, but really the best treats are reserved for you. A grippy sports steering wheel, auxiliary gauges, and the B&M floor shifter are instant indicators of something nice under the hood.

The '55 Chevy is coveted for launching the small block era, but it never received something like this from the factory. Not only is the 350 cubic-inch motor larger than stock, but also it has been enhanced with go-fast goodies like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Weiand intake, and long tube headers that feed the rumbling dual exhaust. Plus, the TH350 three-speed automatic transmission is a fine choice, because it's easy enough for cruising and stout enough to get the power to the ground.

Complete with owner's manual, this is a true icon represented correctly and offered at an unbeatable price. This is the kind of deal where if you think twice it might already be gone. So don't miss out, call today!
