Description

*LOWERED RESERVE* LOOK NO FURTHER, YOU HAVE JUST COME ACROSS ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE AND 1 OFF 1955 CHEVY BEL AIRS TO ENTER THE MARKET. THIS 1955 CHEVY BEL AIR IS NOT JUST A 2 DOOR HARDTOP, AND ITS NOT JUST A CONVERTIBLE, ITS BOTH. THATS RIGHT, YOU CAN ENJOY BOTH WORLDS WITH THIS CAR. PUT THE TOP ON AND ITS A BEL AIR 2 DOOR HARDTOP, TAKE THE TOP OFF AND YOU HAVE A CONVERTIBLE. JUST LIKE THE OLD T-BIRDS. I HAVE ONLY SEEN ONE OTHER HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE AND IT WAS FEATURED IN SUPER CHEVY MAGAZINE. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE FEATURED IN A MAGAZINE AND YOU COULD BE THE ONE TO HAVE IT DONE.
A SHORT HISTORY ABOUT ME, THIS CAR, AND HOW I ENDED UP WITH IT. I AM A CAR ENTHUSIAST/SMALL DEALER LOCATED IN SOUTHEAST MISSOURI AND I BUY RARE, COOL, AND UNIQUE CARS AND TRUCKS. IVE DONE ALOT OF VERY NICE BUILDS OVER THE YEARS THAT ARE STILL FLOATING AROUND THE INTERNET AND I GET CALLS ABOUT ALL THE TIME. ANYHOW, I BOUGHT THIS CAR A COUPLE YEARS AGO FROM A SMALL DEALER IN SOUTHWEST MISSOURI, WHICH HE HAD ACQUIRED ON TRADE. THE OWNER THAT TRADED THE CAR IN HAD THE CAR PROFESSIONALLY BUILT AND RESTORED SEVERAL YEARS BACK AND IT STARTED TO SHOW ITS AGE. IT WAS A NICE CAR AND HAD NO RUST AT ALL WHEN I RECEIVED IT BUT IT HAD BEEN USED AS A DRIVER AND HAD A LITTLE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE BODY. I COULD'VE FLIPPED THE CAR FOR A FEW BUCKS AT THAT POINT AND WENT ON BUT I JUST COULD'NT LET IT GO. THE CAR ENTHUSIAST IN ME HAD TO BRING THE CAR BACK TO THE BEST IT COULD BE, WHICH I THINK I'VE DONE JUST THAT.
THE BODY OF THE CAR WAS TOTALLY STRIPPED AND REPAINTED A BEAUTIFUL SILVER/BLACK COMBO USING HIGH END BASE COAT/CLEAR COAT PAINT. I PURCHASED ALL NEW BUMPERS, GRILLE, MIRRORS, SIDE TRIM, DOOR HANDLES, ETC. THE LS1 MOTOR/TRANS, WHICH I WAS TOLD IS FROM A 2004 CORVETTE, WAS ALREADY IN THE CAR WHEN I RECEIVED IT. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT HAS A LITTLE BIT BIGGER CAM THAN STOCK INSTALLED, ALONG WITH CERAMIC HEADERS AND A GREAT SOUNDING EXHAUST. THE CAR LACKED AC WHEN I BOUGHT IT, SO I PURCHASED AND INSTALLED THE NEWEST VINTAGE AIR SYSTEM AND OPTED FOR ALL CHROME ACCESSORIES. THE INTERIOR AND SOUND SYSTEM YOUR SEEING WAS IN THE CAR WHEN I BOUGHT IT, AND IS TOP NOTCH AND FLAWLESS. I DID, HOWEVER, SWAP OUT A DVD HEAD UNIT THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED FOR THE VINTAGE LOOKING RADIO YOU SEE IN THE PICTURES. THE CHROME 18/20 WHEELS AND NITTO TIRES HAD JUST BEEN INSTALLED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND ARE LIKE NEW. THE CAR HAS POWER BRAKES WITH DISCS UP FRONT. IT ALSO HAS POWER STEERING. THE LOWERED SUSPENSION AND ADJUSTABLE SHOCKS MAKE THIS CAR HANDLE GREAT AND VERY SMOOTH. I WOULD NOT BE HESITANT TO TAKE THIS CAR ACROSS COUNTRY. THIS CAR IS A HIT AT THE CAR SHOWS I HAVE TAKEN IT TO, AND I HAVE ENJOYED MY TIME WITH THE CAR BUT NOW ITS TIME FOR A NEW OWNER TO DO THE SAME.
CLICK ON THE LINK TO MY PHOTOBUCKET ACCOUNT AND CHECK OUT ALL THE HIGH RESOLUTION PICTURES. I ALSO INCLUDED A PICTURE OF AN ALMOST EXACT CLONE TO THIS CAR I CAMEACROSSWHERE IT HAD GONE THROUGH BARRETT JACKSON LAST YEAR AND BROUGHT $110,000. THIS CAR IS WAY COOLER AND I WILL LET IT GO FOR MUCH LESS.
PLEASE, DONT HESITATE TO GIVE ME A CALL IF INTERESTED. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. I WILL SELL THIS CAR FOR THE RIGHT PRICE OUTRIGHT AND IF ANYONE HAS AN OFFER I WOULD BE GLAD TO ENTERTAIN IT. 573-587-1159
