1955 CHEVROLET BEL AIR COUPE
Fresh out of a professional, $350K build, this Chevy is a literal manifestation of "only
the best". If you're looking for a storied custom that attracts big crowds and even
bigger trophies, it's prime time for Limetime! Built by Graham's Bel Air Hot Rod Shop
in Fresno, California, this freshly finished Bel Air does an excellent job of wrapping
vintage style around modern technology. A solid California fruit that was ripe for
customization, the car was subjected to a systematic, no-expense-spared build that
involved $350K and thousands of hours of labor. During that build, its clean body
was completely stripped, thoroughly massaged and layered in a liquid-smooth coat
of House Of Kolor Limetime 2-stage. Every surface of that pearl pigment, shot by
Vicente Gonzales of Madera, California's Fab-Worx, was sanded, buffed and
perfected - top to bottom. And in January of 2016, this incredible custom was
professionally appraised at $265K. Toss the hood and you'll find a hot LS3 small
block that, thanks to a few tweaks, creates a stout 550 horsepower. Behind that mil,
a fresh 4L65E 4-speed twists a custom Arizona Driveshaft, which spins a familiar
10-bolt axle that's finished with 3.55 gears and a positraction differential. That GM
pumpkin is an integral part of a sturdy Jim Meyer Racing 4-link, which weaves a
beefy panhard bar around adjustable QA-1 coilovers. Opposite that 4-link, a Jim
Meyer Racing front-clip sandwiches power rack-and-pinion steering between tubular
control arms and two more coilover shocks. Quick stops are a cinch thanks to
Wilwood DynaPro calipers and 12-inch drilled and slotted rotors. And 17-inch Budnik
Gassers throw torque through BF Goodrich g-Force Sports. Owning a
professionally customized classic that's lauded by some of the most established
organizations in the automotive community is the stuff most gearheads dream about.
Don't miss your chance to enjoy this incredible, national award-winning Chevy!
