Chevrolet Bel Air/150/210 1955 Description
Up for sale is your chance to own a very nice convertible project and save a lot of money. Relisted as previous buyer backed out of the deal without seeing the car. I have spent countless hours on this car over a period of about four years and have invested a lot of money in this project that is very near completion. Sadly I must at this time part with this car for personal reasons. More than 100 larger photos at http://imgur.com/a/L8Ez7 High quality fiberglass body construction by Prototype Research http://www.prototyperesearch.com/55chev_walk.htm An original rust free chassis has been cleaned, nspected and an X member added to provide the required stiffness. Engine is a fuel injected 305 V8 coupled to a four speed automatic overdrive transmission. I have spent a lot of time and even more money finding and buying the parts needed to complete this car. Included are several expensive convertible only items you need to assemble this car. I am offering this car and countless parts for less than what the empty fiberglass shell would cost you with the crating charge ($750) they add. You would then need to find a chassis, nd spend many thousands more for the parts that I am including in this sale. The body has been meticulously blocked sanded and is very straight and ready for primer (included) The engine, ransmission and the complete wiring harness was carefully removed from a Chevrolet pickup with only 67000 miles on the odometer. The engine starts right up and runs smooth and strong like it should. I have full documentation for the truck including the VIN and original build sheets showing all options. This information and the fact that the original wiring harness was used (including the service diagnostics plug) means that any garage can plug in their scanner and service this vehicle. The wiring is not a cut up mess like many of the fuel injection conversions. All of the factory connectors remain in place. Any technician will be pleased to work on the drivetrain of this car as they can use the manual for the Chevy pickup. Parts list is at the bottom of the page… I am sure that I have more that what is listed ! Tittle / Registration documents: I have not registered the car as a convertible after swapping the original body for the fiberglass body. I do have the Ontario ownership documents (in my name) and the VIN tag for the donner 1955 car that supplied the chassis the body is resting on. Ontario does not issue vehicle tittles. The car is wet in most of the photos as I wanted to remove the dust and to show how straight the car is by giving the car a shine. Differences in color are areas that have dried. Location: The car is at my home in Belleville Ontario Canada on the north shore of Lake Ontario. Nearest major city is Syracuse NY.
