For Sale: 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air in O'Fallon, Illinois

Our Nashville showroom digitally showcases this 1955 Chevrolet BelAir, or as I call it, my latest car crush. Now I have a pretty good job and while I am sure there are others out there that make more money than I do, I get to work with classic cars. I spend time talking to the owners and buyers of cars that most only dream about and when it comes time for the cars to be driving for the videos, I always volunteer because I don't mind taking one for the team. I tell you this, so you understand, I have become a little jaded. It takes something extra special to catch my attention and this car has it! While the exterior of the car is obviously well done in satin black with chrome that has been painted a gun metal grey, you can tell the work that went into the car before the sinister black was laid down. I have looked this car over top to bottom and I can tell you it is as pretty underneath as it is on top. With Power coated frame, freshly painted floor pan and even the suspension components are tidy and painted black. Powering this classic Chevy shoebox is a Small block Chevy that has been bored and stroked to 383 cubic inches. Bolted to the top of the cylinders are a set of Medling(R) performance heads, Edelbrock(R) intake and Quickfuel(R) four-barrel carburetor. This power is controlled by a 4-speed manual transmission that is perfect for this set up. Just the slightest twist of the key brings this mighty mouse to life and the noise it makes will put a smile on your face. I just came back from driving the car for the video (It's a tough job, but someone has to do it) and I can tell you I have a permasmile on my face. Now there is a long list of custom touches on this car, too many to list like drilled and slotted rotor and Wilwood(R) disc brakes on each corner, suffice it to say that not a trick was missed nor a penny pinched on this build! Options for this '55 Chevy include: AM/FM CD player, Power steering, Tilt steering wheel, Leather interior, Seat belts, Radial tire wrapped around American Racing(R) 5 spoke rims.
