Description:

1955 Chevrolet Bel Air/150/210 FRAME-OFF ROTISSOURIE CRUISER

Beautiful and show winning 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air hardtop finished in original ’55 Chevy two tone colors of Gypsy Red and Shore Line Beige. The interior was done in similar factory colors and material including the carpet and headliner. Everything is new, refinished, or NOS (new old stock) no nut or bolt was left untouched. A detailed photo album showing the build is included.

Power comes from a rebuilt stock ‘60’s era 327 c.i. small block treated to 2.02 heads, Edelbrock 500 cfm carburetor, and intake. The ignition system is an HEI unit which is made to look stock.

Although there is no power steering nor power brakes they have been upgraded using bearings on the idler arm (vs bushings) and a dual master cylinder with a proportioning valve, disc braces up front and drums out back to help on the stopping power.

Electrically the car has a new harness throughout the car. All lights and gauges function like new including the clock. The radio is an AM/FM replacement unit which looks original.

This was a total ‘frame off’, ‘rotisserie’ restoration which was started in 2013 and completed in 2015. A total of only 11,000 miles have been logged on the ’55 attending local shows and events.

A couple of areas of imperfection which include a small stain on the rear seat and a small crack on the rear valance panel. See photos.

PLEASE BUY WITH CONFIDENCE

I have been an active eBay seller of cars and other items for more than 15 years and maintained a 100% rating during most of that period. Approximately 10 years ago I started an online service assisting owners of Classic, Vintage, and Muscle cars to sell their vehicles without them leaving the garage. These are private individual owners who do not want to deal with the public and all the endless phone calls, “Tire kickers”, and other nonsense that goes on when trying to sell a car. They just want someone to sell it!!
