For sale today is an absolutely gorgeous 1954 Chevy Bel Air. This vehicle was built from a very nice, solid, straight body. It has been covered in stunning Mango Tango Orange with Cool Vanilla accents and roof. It is incredibly beautiful in all different types of lighting. The color will change from Cinnamon in low to moderate light conditions, to a bright pearl orange during bright sunlight. The firewall has been perfectly smoothed and the inner fenders have been sprayed in a matching Mango Tango hue. All stainless trim has been replaced with new or painstakingly straightened and polished. The bumpers, headlight bezels, taillight bezels, door handles, scripts, and grille bars are new. The grille teeth are NOS pieces. All new glass and weatherstripping have been installed throughout the car. The drivetrain consists of a Chevy 350 engine that has been adorned with just the right amount of chrome. The internals are stock to provide reliability. An Edelbrock intake and carburetor are bolted on top to give the car some get-up-and-go. The whole thing is kept cool with a Pro Cool aluminum radiator. A new dual exhaust system with Imco mufflers give a nice throaty sound without being too loud. Behind the engine is a 400 trans that spins an aluminum driveshaft and transfers power to a GM 10 bolt rear end and 18"X8" Boss 338 wheels and 225/55/18 Nexen tires. The front 18"X8" wheels and 225/45/18 tires are supported by a rebuilt Nova subframe and power steering. The power booster and master cylinder have been hidden below the floor. The custom leather and vinyl interior is just as impressive as the exterior. The bucket seats, door panels, and steering wheel are covered in beautiful Medium Parchment materials that match the console. There are a few scuffs in the seats. The custom built spears are adorned with Bel Air emblems that match the outside of the car. All new door handles and window cranks round out the sides of the car. Below them is saddle colored carpet while a custom headliner fits the roof. The dash is again painted Cool Vanilla and houses a custom set of digital gauges to monitor all vital functions. A GM tilt steering column holds a new custom aluminum wheel. The vaccuum wipers are gone and have been replaced with a custom single speed electric motor that is mounted under the dash and are controlled by a switch on the column. A new wiring harness connects all electrical components together. A new JVC receiver has been installed but there are no speakers in the car. The trunk is also upholstered to match the interior and opens easily with a cable under the rear bumper. Car is located in Martinton, IL. 60951. Email me, or call me at 815-683-5042. John
