Description

This stunning '55 Bel Air has just 33 miles since completion and was built to the highest of standards throughout. An original California car, it underwent a complete frame-off restoration with the body chemically dipped and E-coated for lifetime corrosion protection. The chassis is a work of art, featuring a Heidts Hot Rod Shop suspension, coil-over front end with rack-and-pinion steering, and a John's Industries 1000-horsepower Ford 9-inch rear end with a triangulated four-link setup and coil-over springs. Stopping power comes from Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes, with all new stainless brake lines, wiring, and glass installed during the build.

Powering this masterpiece is a fresh Chevrolet 427ci V8 producing over 400 horsepower, paired with a Turbo 400 automatic transmission and 3.73 rear gears. The car exhales through a hand-fabricated 3-inch stainless exhaust system with Borla mufflers, while a Painless wiring harness and Dakota Digital gauges handle the modern touches. It rolls on American Racing 22-inch wheels wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 tires, perfectly blending classic style with modern performance.

The body and paintwork are simply breathtaking—every panel was meticulously straightened and aligned, with a smoothed firewall for a show-quality engine bay. All side chrome and emblems were hand-painted to replicate OEM-style moldings, enhanced by custom flames seamlessly integrated into the design for a one-of-a-kind look. The craftsmanship, detail, and finish are top-shelf from every angle.

Without question, this is one of the finest 1955 Bel Airs we've ever seen—fresh, flawless, and ready to impress on the show field or the boulevard!
