1954 Chev. Bel Air Two
Door Post: This is Tom's personal car, built expressly by and
for himself. This car was built from a life long Arizona car
with 78K actual miles at time of purchase. This car was, and is,
absolutely 100% rust-free. All of the sheet metal is laser
straight and is 98% free of filler. All of the trim and chrome
is new or rechromed and polished. The car is finished in a
beautiful base/clear '55 Chev. Yellow and White (orig. color was
yellow and green). It sets on 15" and 14" rallyes with
Coker Radials. Body mods. are minor and subtle consisting of
trunk lid is decked and smoothed, Chev. emblem is removed from the
hood, it has a hideaway power antenna and the front bumper is a
smoothed one piece California bumper. The interior is an $8K
glove leather custom by Bohde, following the original interior design.
It has power windows, a painted Ididit tilt column with a LeCara
steering wheel, Lokar e-brake and pedals, a Clarion AM/FM/Cassette
stereo built into the glovebox and vintage Sun gauges and mooneyes
tach. The suspension is a complete hub to hub Fat man
Fabricators tubular "A" arm dropped spindle independent
front end with GM large rotor power disc brakes and a '57 Chev. rear
end. This cool '54 is powered by one of the hottest 235 c.i.
sixes around. This engine has +.030 flat tops, is balanced and
blueprinted, has a lightened flywheel, a ported and polished head, and
hot cam with solid lifters, Mallory ignition, and dual carbs on a
vintage Edmunds intake and jet coated split exhaust manifold mated to
an aluminum tubing Flowmaster Exhaust. The engine is mated to a
5 speed manual S-10 transmission. Wiring is by Painless.
Stop light to stop light, this car can get rubber through 3rd gear and
can beat most small block V-8's. How cool is that? This
car has been babied and has less than 2K miles since built so it is as
a fresh build. One of the nicest '54's around, priced at
$28,900.00. |
