1955 Chevrolet Bel Air/150/210 BELAIR HARDTOP

UP FOR SALE / AUCTION IS A VERY CLEAN AND VERY SOLID 1955 CHEVY BELAIR 2 DOOR HARDTOP. THIS CAR IS A SURVIVOR AND DESPITE IT'S RESTOMOD APPEARANCE. IT HAS KEPT A GREAT DEAL OF IT'S ORIGINALITY.  THIS CAR HAS VERY SOLID FLOOR BOARDS AND ROCKER PANELS. IT STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL FACTORY UNDER-COATING. IT IS AN OLDER FRAME-ON RESTORATION.  IT IS AN ORIGINAL BLACK CALIFORNIA CAR.  
DESPITE HOW HEAVY THESE TRI-FIVE CHEVYS ARE. THE REBUILT 283 V-8 PULLS THE CAR VERY NICELY. NO PROBLEM REACHING SPEEDS OF 80 MPH.  THE NEW TIRES AND RIMS KEEPS THE CAR NICE AND STRAIGHT ON THE HIWAY. NO SHAKES. VIBRATIONS. OR RATTLES.  THE REBUILT MOTOR HAS 6500 MILES ON IT.  
ALL OF THE GLASS IS INTACT WITH NO CRACKS.  ALL WINDOWS AND CRANKS WORK PROPERLY.  ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL TO INCLUDE HEADLIGHTS. TURN SIGNALS. BRAKE LIGHTS. INSTRUMENTATION. HORN. ETC.  ALL OF THE GAUGES ARE FULLY FUNCTIONAL TO INCLUDE GAS GUAGE AND SPEEDOMETER.  DOORS OPEN AND SHUT PROPERLY.  
I JUST HAD THE ENTIRE OIL PAN GASKETS REPLACED DUE TO PRIOR OIL LEAK OF REAR MAIN SEAL.  THE CAR HAD PREVIOUSLY SAT IN STORAGE FOR MANY YEARS AFTER THE REBUILD.  I SUSPECT THE REAR MAIN SEAL DRIED UP AND CRACKED.  EITHER WAY. IT NEEDED REPLACING WITH UNIFORM ONE PIECE BLUE FEL-PRO GASKET. WHICH IS SUPERIOR TO THE ORIGINAL (NO MORE LEAKS!!!!).
EVERYTHING ON THIS CAR WORKS AS IT SHOULD.  I HAVE ALSO ADDED A KENWOOD SOUND SYSTEM WITH AMPLIFIER PLACED IN THE TRUNK.  THE RADIO WAS PLACED IN GLOVE BOX IN ORDER TO KEEP THE ORIGINAL 1955 RADIO IN IT'S PROPER PLACE.
THE CAR IS A TRUE PLEASURE TO DRIVE AND IS READY TO GO ANYWHERE.  I RECENTLY ADDED NEW LOW PROFILE TIRES AND CUSTOM WHEELS FOR THAT RESTOMOD LOOK.  
THE PAINT ON THE CAR IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL GLOSSY BLACK.  THERE ARE NO DENTS ON THE BODY. BUT IT DOES HAVE LIGHT SUPERFICIAL SCRATCHES THROUGHOUT AND A SMALL DING ON THE DRIVER SIDE FENDER.  TOO SMALL TO PICK UP ON PHOTOS.  I WOULD RATE THE PAINT ON THIS CAR A 8 OUT OF 10. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SEND MORE PHOTOS OR VIDEO OF CAR RUNNING UPON REQUEST.  
I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM DANIEL SCHMIDT & CO. OF ST. LOUIS. MO. 6 YEARS AGO.  THEY ARE A HIGH-END CLASSIC CAR DEALERSHIP.   I HAVE OVER $42K INVESTED IN THIS CAR.  I HAVE SET A RESERVE PRICE WHICH I FEEL IS REASONABLE AND FAIR IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO SELL.   I AM IN THE PROCESS OF ALLOCATING FUNDS FOR A BUSINESS VENTURE.  IF THE CAR DOES NOT MEET IT'S RESEVE. I WILL BE HAPPY TO JUST KEEP IT AND SEEK FUNDING ELSEWHERE.  
SO THERE IT IS.  IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A TRUE AMERICAN CLASSIC. THIS IS IT.  I CAN'T THINK OF ANY CAR MORE ICONIC THAN THE 55 CHEVY BELAIR 2 DOOR HARDTOP.  WHAT MAKES THE 2 DOOR HARD TOP SPECIAL. IS THAT IT DOES NOT HAVE A POST BETWEEN THE BACK AND FRONT SIDE WINDOWS.  THIS FEATURE ALONE. ADDS CONSIDERABLE VALUE AND BEAUTY TO THESE CARS. FOR THIS REASON. THIS CAR WILL CONTINUE TO APPRECIATE IN VALUE.  
YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND ANOTHER 55 CHEVY BELAIR HARDTOP IN THIS CONDITION SELLING AT THIS PRICE. PUT IT THIS WAY. YOU COULD NOT RESTORE THIS CAR TO THIS LEVEL FOR THE PRICE WHICH I AM SELLING IT AT.  THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE WELL VERSED IN THESE WONDERFUL CARS CAN ATTEST TO THAT TRUTH.
