Looking for a hot tri-five that's every bit as cool and twice as classy as a ground-up custom? This killer Bel Air is an amazing car at an incredible price!
Judging by a quick glance at its profile, this Bel Air was an extremely solid piece when its high quality frame-off restoration began. But nevertheless its body was stripped to bare metal and virtually perfected in a thorough rebuild that even included a restored undercarriage and a custom interior. In late 2010, the car's smooth fuselage was covered in a thick coat of classy green paint and buffed to a wet-look shine. And today, it sits as one fantastic shoebox Chevy that creates a one car parade wherever it goes!
Lift the car's smooth hood and you'll find a proven 350 cubic inch GM Performance Parts crate motor which looks good and, with 290 horsepower and 326 lb./ft. of torque, runs great! Straight from the factory this fully-sorted package combines a cast nodular crank with powdered metal connecting rods and cast aluminum pistons to create razor-sharp throttle response and a Bonneville-flat torque band. The hot engine's air is supplied by a pinstriped, Cadillac-style cleaner which seals around a big Edelbrock 650 carburetor that's fed by fresh stainless fuel lines. A perfect mixture of elements is sourced through a high performance Edelbrock aluminum intake and cast iron heads which are capped by black, "CHEVROLET" branded valve covers. Fires are ignited by fresh Jegs 8.0 POW'R WIRES which are connected to a modern HEI distributor. Heat is suppressed by a heavy duty Be Cool cross-flow radiator that's equipped with a polished cap and a welded and polished overflow tank. Spent gases are jettisoned through a slick pair of Sanderson block hugger headers. And the motor keeps turning thanks to a full serpentine system which spins a chrome alternator and a chrome AC compressor between a full set of polished pulleys and a full set of polished brackets.
At that back of the torque rich small block you'll find a stalwart Turbo-Hydramatic 400 3-speed which twists thrust to a traditional GM rear end that feels smooth and contemporary. At the front of the chassis the car's traditional 'knee-action' suspension, which has been fitted with shorter coil springs and a thick sway bar, swaps a traditional manual rack for power steering and a fresh Classic Performance Products 605 gearbox. At the back of the chassis, familiar leaf springs combine with lowering blocks, a second sway bar and two inch drop spindles to ensure enough strength and reliability to counter all the small block's chutzpah. At the corners of the chassis, fresh stainless lines shuttle fluid from a familiar power brake booster to big rotors and modern calipers. The 350 beats a killer soundtrack through a 2.5 inch true dual exhaust system which features an H-pipe crossover and great sounding Flowmaster dual chamber mufflers. And power flows to the pavement through a sweet set of 16 inch steelies which spin 215/70 front and 235/70 American Classic whitewalls around smooth hub caps and chrome trim rings.
One of this Chevy's most noteworthy features is its great looking leather interior which was stitched to match its light green body at Armando's Custom Upholstery in San Jacinto, California. Completely unique, from its supportive leather seats and sculpted door panels to its fresh carpets and color-keyed headliner, this supple cockpit looks almost as good as it feels. At the front of the car a chrome-trimmed dash holds attractive silver faced gauges, which are complete with a metallic green bowtie, above a three pack of Auto Gauge accessory gauges and controls for the modern heat and air conditioning system. At the sides of the car, traditional chrome handles ride between billet lock knobs, green door frames and leather-wrapped armrests. And in front of the driver, a painted tilt steering column spins a traditional Bel Air steering wheel around a polished shifter and a full set of billet stalks.
With a high quality restoration that's beyond reproach and a custom color combination that creates a riot at shows, THIS is the kind of build you simply can't touch for our asking price. Call, click or visit RKMotorsCharlotte.com for more information on this red hot tri-five!
