1955 Chevrolet Bel Air/150/210 210

You're looking at a No Reserve auction on a beautiful 1955 Chevrolet 2-door post finished in Skyline Blue and India Ivory or a faximilie therof (the most popular color combo that year). The car is mostly stock, but the original 265 cubic inch V8 was replaced with a 355 cubic inch V8 (350 bored .30" over) Engine ID CODE V0102TFH. It has been built with a Melling Stage 1 camshaft, Corvette Intake Manifold with 4-Barrel Carburetor, Ohio pistons (silicone), Chrome Hastings Piston-Rings, Clevite Rods & Main Bearings, Fel-Pro Gaskets, Melling Oil-Pump, TRW Intake & Exhaust Valves and Hedman Exhaust Headers run to dual mufflers & exhaust. The Cylinder Heads were Ported, Polished & Milled perfectly flat & straight in addition to all the other machine work that was performed on the engine-block. It does not smoke, tick or knock, and runs very well. Sounds nice & healthy with plenty of power, but isn't obnoxiously loud.
The original transmission was a 2-speed Powerglide, but is now a Turbo Hydromatic 350 3-speed automatic. It shifts nice and firmly through the gears just as it should. There are brand new brake pads all around and the Master Cylinder was recently replaced (the brake shoes could stand to be adjusted, and system bled one more time, but they work fine). The lights & turn-signals work, but don't flash while you're applying the brake-pedal. The dome lights & even the glove-box light still works. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this vehicle anywhere on a moment's notice, it's very reliable & road-worthy.
The interior panels and seats are getting tattered, but the headliner is in great shape. All of the glass is perfect, and un-cracked, with no delamination or pitting. The dash board is still wearing its original factory paint. The gas gauge and speedometer work, and there are a couple of aftermarket (oil-pressure and water-temp) gauges mounted under the dash. The heater is not currently working, but this is a fair-weather car anyway. There is some rust in the floor-pan on the underside, but the trunk floor is extremely solid, even down in the spare-tire well! The car has had one re-paint, and the body is very-straight! It's not waivy, dented or chipped up (not even on the front of the hood where cars typically get bug-chips). There are a few minor bubbles down low on the rocker-panels (factory stainless rocker-trims would completely hide those blemishes). Otherwise paint is very nice throughout!

Seriously interested individuals are welcome to stop by and take a test-ride in the car. It won't disappoint. I don't know what else to say about the vehicle, but anyone who has any further questions is welcome to message me through eBay or 64l 5l2 5229.

I've used Atlas Auto Shippers quite a lot 888 285 2706. They can get you a quote to move the car from Mason City, IA 50401, otherwise I have some other contacts for auto-transporters if you want to shop around.
