1955 Chevy Bel Air hardtop;
 When you think of an iconic classic car, the 55 Bel Air has to come to mind. This 55 Bel Air is owned by a personal friend that has had many of the cars he has restored accepted to the most prestigious car events in the country, including Pebble Beach. I personally regard this seller as one of the best restorers in the country and this, his personal driver reflects this ownership lineage.

Exterior;
 This car's exterior is very good. The car is finished in dark blue metallic clear coat with pearl white metallic. The quality of the paint is very high however there are a few minor nicks from haveing been driven since the restoration a few years ago. The chrome and stainless on this car are second to none. All bright work is of the highest standard, polished to a high luster and free of any imperfections. The car has the vintage California "Yam" black and yellow license plates. The wheels are the traditional torque thrusts and the rear frame has been fabricated to accept the larger 10" wide rear wheels that fit under the factory fender lips.
Interior;
 The interior has a mild custom look, sporting two tone cloth seats and door panels. The dash and instrument package has the stock appearance with all the original style dash knobs, gauges and trim having been perfectly restored and retained. The interior is complemented by a custom original style steering wheel that has been customized to look original but having had its overall diameter reduced for a more modern feel. The stereo system has been upgraded with a Custom Autosound receiver and a 10 CD changer and amplifier. The factory gauges all work and there is a hidden group of after market gauges mounted in the glove box. In addition this car has a tilt steering column and the shift indicator has been updated to reflect the modern AOD transmission.
Drivetrain;
 Under the hood is a professionally build 350 small block sporting a 470 street blower that was professionally matched to the carburetor and cam for spot on performance. This combination was dyno'd at 485 HP. The motor has less that 4,000 miles since completion. All of this sits in front of a professionally build 700R4 automatic overdrive transmission with a floor shifter. The drive train ends with a narrowed Chrysler rear end with Curry axles and a 3.73 rear ratio, perfect for performance and highway driving. Additionally there is a B-Cool 800 HP radiator with dual auto electric fans. This car won't run hot!
Suspension;
 The suspension components have had all of the popular street modifications done. This includes the 605 steering box, with power steering, the Camaro front end kit with disc brakes.

I personally do not feel that anyone would be disappointed with the condition and drivability of this exceptional car. The workmanship and the quality of this vehicle are outstanding and it goes without saying, this is a rust free California car. Call if you would like any additional photos or information.
