1955 Chevy Chevrolet 2 Door Hardtop Bel Air Barn Find

Description

Title is missing. There is no place on ebay for a bonded title so the vehicle was listed as rebuildable since the car needs restoration. In Texas you will need to get a bonded title. This will run about 2 to 3 hundred dollars. I have done this before and can walk you threw the process. The VIN has been run by the Police and is not reported stolen nationally. The vehicle was never registered in Texas when it came from California.
Found in the pahhandle of Texas with the license plate still on from California and a windshield sticker from Long Beach. The car is mostly original and does run, drive and stop but is not roadworthy. Is is running from the gas tank and not bottle fed but is a project. A new fuel pump and some fresh gas was all it needed to run again. I have two videos of the car running and driving I can text. It appears to have had a flamboyant past considering the red velour upholstery on the original seats and an aftermarket grille as evidence. Headliner even matches the seats. Still equipped as it came from the factory with the 235 ci 6 cylinder and power glide transmission. All the stainless trim is with the car except for one piece that goes on the drivers door and is in very nice shape as shown in the pictures. The stainless hardtop window flappers are on the car and work properly. At some point a Nomad/Wagon rear bumper has been added as noted by the flat surface where the rear license plate is mounted..
The carpet was removed from the car to show any rust issues. The car does have rust in the passenger floor board and door sill area. There is rust and filler in the passenger side in front of the rear wheel (this is shown in the last two pictures). The trunk is very solid except for some very small holes by the trunk latch. All of these areas are shown well in the pictures.
The car comes with a bill of sale only...the VIN is C55S126900 which indicates it to be a BelAir 6 cylinder built in St. Lewis assembly plant Body style tag 1037D identifies it as a Sport Coupe. The rest of the tag is broke off but the trunk of the car is India Ivory and the door jams are Gypsy Red.
2 Door hardtops are hard enough to find these days but especially one as complete as this one. Almost every item and piece of trim is there as shown in the pictures. This is one you can restore to original or build the way you want it.

Please keep in mind, this is a barn find. It does run, stop and drive but is not roadworthy. You can text me and I will send youvideos of the car running and driving.
