It is a Great Investment As Well as well as hitting the road with the utmost confidence!!

If you are keeping up with the warp-speed trends of the high-end 55’ Chevy’s, you know a few important key points… They are Extremely Popular, Very Collectable, Hard to Find, looks great and everybody envies their owners! Keep in mind, I am referring to national level constructed pieces of art, NOT your average 55’ Chevy!

I love the feel and sound of this car and would not be afraid to take it anywhere! The engine has the perfect blend of torque, smoothness and roaring sound through the exhaust. Hit the key and take off…it’s that simple. This is a car for high level competitions, power-tours, or just simple family fun at the local shows or cruise-ins. A BIG FISH in any-size pond comes with the ownership of this machine.

This tri-five has been completed about 1 year with about 350 tested miles… It has been a southern car most all of its life and was well taken care of prior to its extensive Close to Six-Figure build cost [It Will Be Bought at a Fraction of The Build Cost]… My friend whom completed the project is a well-known regional builder of Tri-Fives (Over 300) and has had some of the best on the planet. This 55’ is no exception and was special from the launch stemming from years of strategic planning. The construction took a few years and has been completed approximately 1 year. The Results are what you would expect from a coach-builder craftsmanship level of quality.

The body was extensively refitted with new metal including but not limited to floor pans, trunk pan, rockers, full quarters, fenders and hood. The body and related took approximately 2 years to complete.

Things work as they should including but not limited to Headlights / Taillights, Signals, Interior Dash Gauges, Courtesy Lights, Back-up Lights, Heat, Cold A/C, Speedometer, Wipers, Horn, Smooth shifting 3-Speed Automatic, etc.… The Car also comes with an extensive folder of manuals for the components used in this build.

The design and results of this 55’ feels like you are driving a go-kart on rails going down the road, it is some-what low yet smooth riding, has an unbelievable throaty sound and just simply looks and feels super-cool!

Is this car Perfect? No and none of them are… that said, I guess it is just a good thing to state a disclaimer but I know of nothing wrong or to report about the car.

Why am I selling it? Space, space, space… I am moving and have a significantly reduced amount of space until I get my new garage built.

I reserve the right to end this ad early due to having it for sale locally...
