Covered in an Electron Blue Pearl that could rival the depth of the ocean, this 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Restomod is nothing short of amazing. At first glance, it's evident that this classic has been kissed by modernity, boasting a full repaint approximately three years ago. The black painted roof acts as a perfect counterbalance, creating a visual spectacle that demands attention. Riding on 18" B/G wheels upfront and 20" B/G wheels at the rear, wrapped in 235/40R18 and 245/40ZR20 tires respectively, this Bel Air is poised on the pavement like a panther ready to pounce. The body lines demonstrate careful craftsmanship and the ensemble is completed with newer headlights, fine chrome bumpers, and a hint of mystery behind lightly tinted windows, all contributing to its undeniable presence.
Stepping inside reveals an interior adorned with black leather and suede bucket seats nestled around a console. The staple-style shifter and tilt column, Dakota Digit analogue-style gauges, and Retro Sound radio with Bluetooth functionality ensure that this ride is as practical as it is stylish. Added to this mix is an air conditioning system, seamlessly integrated to offer comfort without compromising the car's vintage appeal. The custom two-tone theme extends throughout the cabin, from door panels to the carpet, all enveloped in an elegant blend of black and blue. This is punctuated by aluminum trim, infusing a contemporary edge into the classic design.
Upfront, a 5.3 V8 Vortec paired with a 6-speed automatic 6L80E transmission ensures that this Bel Air moves as good as it looks. Pulled from a Silverado with approximately 25k miles on it, and now with only 388 miles on this build, this drivetrain has only just been broken in. The power is confidently brought to a halt by power disc brakes on both ends, complemented by a vacuum pump for that extra bit of assurance. The suspension features tubular control arms, coilovers, and sway bars at both the front and rear. An aluminum radiator and electric fans keep things cool under the hood, underscoring the blend of performance and aesthetics that make this vehicle exceptional.
