Restoring a Tri-Five Chevy is a project that is on almost any classic car enthusiast's bucket list. But, along with a complete rebuild comes a laundry list of headaches, unwelcomed surprises, extra costs, impossible-to-find parts, and on and on. So, when a car like this gorgeous 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Supercharged Restomod comes along, shimmering in its lovely Neptune Green and white two-tone paint, fully redone and ready to go, it should be nearly impossible to pass up. Built on a New .....
Creations chassis, which is a modified tri-five undercarriage equipped with a custom suspension and specific motor and transmission mounts to accept modern drivetrains, this classic Chevy rides on 18-inch Billet Specialties wheels shod in 245/45R-18 front and larger 275/45R-18 rear low-profile BFG rubber.
Inside, we find a fully custom beige leather interior decked out with power windows and locks, a modern Kenwood AM/FM/CD/Bluetooth stereo system, billet dashboard insert and a trick custom white-faced gauge cluster nestled in nicely behind the six-spoke padded and power-assisted steering wheel.
Under the hood of this racy restomod we find a monstrous Magnuson supercharged 5.7-liter LS1 V-8 that was pulled, re-sealed, and rebuilt with cathedral ported heads, PRC dual-value springs/retainers, a Texas Speed cam and pushrods, LS7 lifters, and an Innovators West 8-rib pulley sporting a ten percent overdrive. That massive power is then routed through a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission before heading out to the 3.23:1 geared Corvette rear end. A MagnaFlow exhaust system announces this car's presence and lets anyone within earshot know it is more than your average '55.

Four-wheel power disc brakes that are slotted and cross-drilled rein in power as fast as that supercharged V-8 can make it, giving you peace of mind knowing all is under control whenever necessary. The current owner also added an electric E-brake, a new alternator, an AC compressor, and a new serpentine belt.
