Vehicle Original VIN : VC55J037825
One of the advantages of the Tri-Five Chevys like this drop-dead gorgeous 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air hardtop is that the engine bay is big enough to handle pretty much anything you can imagine. This beauty, for example, carries a hulking 502 V8 big block, which is also backed by a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission, an upgrade suspension and power 4-wheel disc brakes, making it more of a modern muscle car than just your usual good-looking '50s cruiser. Finished just over 5,000 miles ago and built to the 9's, this upgrade hardtop is quite a bargain even at this price once you consider the entire spoke of the top-end build, meaning you better read quickly or risk missing your shot at an absolute stunner.

But before we get into the big block and all the matching hardcore hardware, let's talk about the gorgeous Crème Beige over Gypsy Red paint job. Finished a mere 5,402 miles ago, this top-of-the-line 2-door hardtop was restored to be an attention-grabber first and foremost, and the builders have succeeded brilliantly across the board. Starting with a hardtop was the right choice of course, and by the looks of the laser-straight metal underneath, this Bel Air has always been an impeccably cared-for car. The colors aren't original to this particular vehicle but certainly period-correct and use modern urethane paints that provide a shine unmatched by original enamels, with a deep, lustrous shine that simply pops under our studio lights. Despite the upgraded materials used on the top-end paint job, the finish still looks quite appropriate on the vintage sheetmetal, and with hardly any imperfections to speak of, short of a couple very minor imperfections in the hood that took us quite a long time to even notice, this top driver-quality presentation would likely be considered 'show' by most contemporary standards. Great gaps, sharp, laser-straight panel alignment, and a miles deep luster on both colors – the curb appeal is simply through the roof and it's difficult to argue with the final result. There's considerable chrome and trim on any '50s car, but none better than the shiny livery found on the Bel Air, and it's all been professionally restored/refinished to match the quality of the paint. The shiny stuff includes all that iconic Bel Air profile trim, the stainless around the crystal-clear glass, and the bold chrome bumpers fore and aft, all of which are matched by the near-blinding bling from the front grille, hood ornament, and correct badging found throughout the body.

Given the extensive upgrade to the entire car, the interior is also remarkably well-integrated and restored using modern materials with an aim toward maintaining the overall stock Tri-5 look. Fresh Gypsy Red and Crème Beige vinyl upholstery matches the exterior and is in fantastic condition, as are the matching red carpets below, the ornate door panels at the flanks, and a taut headliner with chrome slats above that all work together to give the cabin an upgraded yet factory look. On the other hand, the polished Flaming River tilt column, billet chrome steering wheel, and discreetly installed under-dash A/C system are all strictly modern pieces but have been integrated seamlessly into the design of the interior. There's also a Lokar shifter atop the transmission tunnel that manages the 700R4 automatic below, a retro-style AM/FM/Cassette radio in the factory slot, and a complete set of SunPro modern digital/analog gauges inside the original cluster. With so few miles on the build, it's as nice as you'd expect inside, with nary a sign of use on all the high-traffic areas. The rear bench seat is darn clean it's likely never been sat-in, and out back the trunk was finished completely back-to-stock, including a correct replacement vinyl mat and bias-ply spare tire and jack set mounted in the factory position.

Thanks to a smoothed and finished firewall, the 502 cubic inch V8 under the hood fits just fine in the original '55 engine bay. Born a 454 block and then bored and stroked to the current 502 cubic-inch displacement, the massive motor powers this Bel Air with great ease, aided by a full Aeromotive fuel system and Stealth 340 fuel pump, an Edelbrock intake, and big Holley 750CFM 4-barrel carburetor that all feed it. The list of further upgrades is extensive, including a big aluminum radiator with dual electric fans, chrome accessories with a serpentine belt drive, and braided stainless hoses for the HVAC and fuel systems. There's Chevy Orange on the block itself, but it too has been punctuated with chrome valve covers and a matching open-element air cleaner, and it all pops out from the shin black inner fenders and red firewall. Looks super-clean, doesn't it? Underneath the upgrades continue with Viking coilvers all around, tubular control arms with 1 ½ inch dropped spindles, a big sway bar, and power steering up front, CPP power 4-wheel power disc brakes, and a 4-link set-up with a another rear swaybar in the back. Ceramic-coated long-tube headers are like modern sculpture all by themselves, and they feed into the killer-sounding, throaty Flowmaster dual exhaust below. The undercarriage was finished to show off, with painted and shined components throughout, so if you're showing this beauty be sure to bring the mirrors. The 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission with its tall overdrive gear means that the rather stout 3.90 gears in the rear end can do their thing without the engine getting too busy on the highway. Staggered Billet Specialties polished aluminum wheels complete the vintage hot rod look and wear off-set 245/45/17 front and 255/45/18 rear Michelin radials.

Big power, a sporty suspension, a slick-shifting transmission, and agile handling all sound like modern muscle car, but the look still says "1955" all over again. Truly the best of both worlds, this Bel Air is a no-compromises stunner that does it all. Call today!

General Terms

Terms & Conditions

We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).

FEES: A documentation fee of $199 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.

AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.

CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.

INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.

PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.

DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.

DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.

VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.

MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.

CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.

AS-IS: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

DISCLAIMER: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.

Fees and Taxes

Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
