Built by American Resto, this 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air showcases a deep plum purple finish with a metal flake that flows across straight panels, contrasting brilliantly with white accents. U.S. Mags wheels enhance the classic lines - 18-inch up front and 20-inch in the rear, wrapped in 215/45R18 front and 255/45R20 rear performance tires. A 2-inch drop using Heidt's spindles gives this Bel Air an authoritative road presence, while dual MagnaFlow exhausts exit cleanly beneath the rear bumper.
The custom purple and white interior brings modern luxury to the classic design. Leather bucket seats provide ideal positioning behind the column shifter, while Auto Meter gauges relay vital information through the custom dash. A purpose-built center console anchors the cabin, complementing custom door cards and rear panels. The AM/FM/AUX stereo system adds entertainment value, while power windows, air conditioning, and power steering deliver everyday usability.
The 6.2L LS3 crate engine generates 495 horsepower and is mated to a 4L70E 4-speed automatic transmission. A Ford 9-inch rear end with a 3.25 Traction-Lok differential puts power on the pavement. Wilwood disc brakes with four-piston calipers on all corners provide exceptional stopping ability. The suspension system combines control arms with coil springs up front and leaf springs in the rear, enhanced by traction bars for maximum grip.
