This 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Restomod flaunts an eye-catching Orange Blast Metallic exterior paired with a Beige secondary color. This iconic '55 Chevy combines classic lines with modern performance. The sleek hardtop profile sits low and mean on 17" front and 18" rear Foose wheels wrapped in sticky 245/45ZR17 front and 285/40ZR18 rear rubber. Custom touches like the shaved firewall and smoothed dash amplify the Bel Air's timeless design.
Slip into the beige leather bucket seats and you're greeted by a thoroughly modernized cockpit. The custom interior features power windows, a tilt steering column, and a Kenwood stereo with Bluetooth. Dakota Digital gauges provide vital info at a glance. Vintage AC controls and power window switches are cleverly integrated into the center console alongside the Lokar shifter. Cupholders and a power driver's seat add daily-driver comfort to this performance machine.
Underneath, this Bel Air is powered by a 5.3L LM7 V8 built by Swafford Competition. It's dressed up with a BBK SSI intake manifold, throttle body, and long tube headers. Power flows through a 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission to a 9" rear end with Strange 31-spline axles. The Art Morrison chassis provides exceptional handling with tubular A-arms, adjustable coilovers, and a 4-link rear suspension. Wilwood disc brakes with 11" rotors deliver confident stopping power. Dual electric fans and a large aluminum radiator keep things cool under pressure.
