Overview
Worried about buying a car because of depreciation over time? According to statistics, a car loses 10% of its value after being driven off the lot and an additional 15-25% per year. When you purchase a car like this, you can drive it, enjoy it, and actually make money over time as these cars tend to appreciate in value every year. The '55 Chevy Bel Air Sports Coupe is one of the most sought after cars of its era due to its sleek and very unique design. The Tri-Five Chevy's were a birthmark of a new era into the automobile industry. Because they are getting harder and harder to find in great shape like this one, the value climbs up especially as more and more people look to buy one. Don't miss out on an opportunity like this to purchase such a great investment for No Reserve!
We are the 'Name Your Price Tool' of the classic car industry. SO DON'T MISS OUT!
For the 1955 model year, Chevrolet’s passenger car was transformed by a ground-up redesign that offered something that the previous years didn’t– stylish sizzle. The wheelbase and series names, One-Fifty, Two-Ten and Bel Air, were about the only things that were carried over. 1955 brought about big improvements that included better brakes, handling, steering and interior room. 1955-1957 were watershed years for Chevrolet, who spent a million dollars in 1956 alone for retooling, in order to make their less expensive Bel Air models look more like a Cadillac.
For the 1955 Year, Americans purchased 7.1 million new automobiles and out of that was 1.7 Million Chevrolet's, giving the company fully 44% of the low-price market and surpassing Ford in total unit sales by 250,000. The Bel Air was an instant hit with consumers and is still a highly collectible car in today's generations of classic car enthusiasts!
Ever dreamed of owning a super nostalgic and cool classic car that you can just hop right into, start up, and gocomfortablycruising on those nice sunny days?No Reserve Classics is proud to list this beautiful and very highly optioned 1955 Chevy Bel Air Restomodfor a NO-RESERVE auction! This car is for that person who wants the classic look of a '55 Chevy but wants to be able to drive it like a modern car. It's not everyday you will come across a Bel Air decked out with all of the cool custom features this car has. It was just recently freshened up, detailed, and is ready for its new owner to park in their driveway just in time for the nice weather.

Under the Hood
- Engine compartment just underwent an extensive detail with many new chrome parts and accessories. Entire engine bay was sanded down, degreased, cleaned, and painted semi-gloss black for fresh and a clean look.
- This car is powered by a 350 Small Block Chevy that has just been tuned up with all new spark plugs, wires, and fresh fluids.
- The engine features modern centerbolt cylinder heads, an Edelbrock Aluminum Intake Manifold, and a brand new Holley Carburetor all of which provide excellent torque and horsepower for cruising on the streets!
- Car is backed by a 2004R Fully Automatic Transmission with Overdrive to make driving on the highway as smooth as possible.
- The 2004R features a 0.67 4th Gear Ratio which brings the RPM's down at higher speeds allowing you to drive on the highway and keep up with traffic without the Engine screaming and burning tons of fuel!
- This is unlike many other transmissions that are typically installed in cars of this era. The 2-Speed Powerglide, TH350, and TH400 all have a 1.00 Final Gear Ratio making it very difficult to go at speeds above 50 mph without a very high rear end gear which can cost you some torque on the streets. The 2004R and even the 700R4 Transmissions are a perfect balance for street and highway driving classic cars!
- Brand New Holley 4160 600 CFM 4-Barrel Vacuum Secondary Carburetor with Electric Choke that was just installed and tuned for easy cold startups, great street performance, and reliability.
- Brand New EZSteer Hydraulic Power Rack and Pinion Power Steering Conversion system that was just installed and works fantastic!
- This system is not a traditional power steering setup you would find with a steering box, a plethora of tie-rod ends, and a center link. You're seeing a 60+ year old car with a 21st century style suspension/steering system that is found in new Mustangs, Corvette's, Camaro's, etc. This big tank truly handles like a dream and is super responsive to any steering wheel movement.
- There are very few cars out there on the market that have such extensive amounts of modern upgrades like this one does and none of which are selling at No Reserve!
- For those of you who know, manual steering is dreadful and takes the fun and pleasure of being able to drive classic cars. This system truly gives you the best of both worlds!
- With the Rack and Pinion and Tubular Control Arms, this Bel Air handles just like a new sports car!!
- Power Disc Brake Systemwith an adjustable proportioning valve that stops this big heavy American steel car like nothing!
- Brand New Chrome Ball Milled Centerbolt Valve Covers
- Brand New Chrome Ball Milled Air Cleaner
- Brand New Chrome Ball Milled Valve Cover Breathers with new PCV hose
- Brand New Chrome Master Cylinder Cap
- Brand New Chrome Alternator and Chrome Brackets
- Chrome Water Pump Pulley
- All Brand New Drive Belts
- Brand New Power Steering Pump topped off with all fresh fluid
- Brand New Chrome Power Steering Pulley
- Brand New Power Steering Hoses
- Brand New Rack and Pinion Power Steering Linkage
- Brand New Chrome Fuel Filter
- Brand New Chrome Radiator Hoses and Heater Core Hoses
- Brand New Chrome Water Neck

- Every piece of trim and chrome underwent full hand-polishing to get the exterior shining with a beautiful and brilliant luster like the day it was brought home from the dealership
- Crystal Clear glass all around the car
- ALL exterior lights around the car are fully functioning!!
- This includes headlights, turn signals, hazards, brake lights, tail lights, reverse lights, etc. For those of you understand classic cars, it is very rare to come across a car with all lights properly working due to the fact that over a span of 60 years, wiring gets chewed up, melted, or just easily pulled apart. This causes not only certain electrical parts to stop working but can also become a fire hazard if not taken care of!
- Brand New American Racing Polished Aluminum Staggered Torq Thrust Wheels with Brand New Duraturn Mozzo Tires that gives this Bel Air such a cool matchbox car appearance. Features 18" in the Front and 20" in the rear with brand new lug nuts, valve stems, and chrome valve stem caps. Wheels were mounted and balanced with a high-speed Road Force balancing machine
- Custom High-Quality LED Headlight Package that was just installed that have brand new housings with diamond-reflective bases
- Makes driving this 60+ year old car a breeze at night time with visibility better than a new BMW!
- Truly built to drive long distances and look amazing doing so.
- Custom LED Aftermarket Tail Lights that light up as bright and crisp as new cars do!
- Custom Painted Front Calipers and Rotors
- As previously mentioned, this car is equipped with a full Power Disc Brake Conversion that stops extraordinarily well and has custom-painted Silver calipers!
- Polished Stainless Steel 3" Exhaust Tips
