1955 CHEVROLET - BELAIR
If you are a serious lover of vintage Chevrolets here is one you need to add to your collection...or just make it your driver, show car, trophy winner, or whatever!
This vehicle is owned by a local professional counselor. He has babied this gem and his other collectibles. He is a Chevy Man true and through. He respects the tradition of 'the heart beat of America'. All of his vehicles are garage stored, and only driven on perfect weather days! He keeps them fresh and ready to go, for the crystal clear day when he chooses to exercise one.....
Lets talk about this one......
The powerful 350 cubic inch General Motors crate engine starts immediately, runs strong, purrs like a kitten, and roars like a tiger. It's sound resonates through the ceramic coated headers -- down and out via custom exhaust and chrome exhaust tips. There are no undesirable knocks, hisses, rattles, or leaks! The original specs define it as 330 HP!
The odometer shows 04698, which we know to reflect 104,698 true miles. Of course we are selling as True Miles Unknown. We believe that the crate engine has only around 2500 miles of service since it was installed ten years ago.
The automatic (with overdrive) transmission shifts as expected! The gear selection is accomplished via the very reliable B and M shifter.
The black and white rolled and pleated leather interior is flawless, absent any wear, rips, or marks. See the photos! The headliner is secure.
Power brakes....disk in the front, drums in the rear, make this stop like a modern day vehicle.
The BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires are nice with the front showing about 30% tread remaining. The rear is showing about 70% tread remaining. The P235/60/R15 wrap the perfect American Racing Rims. The rims are 15 x 7".
THIS CAR HAS AIR CONDITIONING!!!
The trunk compartment proudly displays the Chevy Bow Tie....see the photos!
The glass, chrome and paint on this gem are very nice to near perfect. There are a few spots requiring some TLC. There is some surface rust peaking out at the lower door jams on the driver side. One small chip in the paint by the gas filler door is visible.
The floor boards are all solid.
All crank windows operate. The drivers side rear is slightly more difficult to crank.
