The AutoHunter Spotlight is on a red and white 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air that received a frame on restoration in 2019. The car is powered by a 383cid stroked V8 rated at 520 horsepower and mated to a Muncie 4-speed manual gearbox.
The seller acquired this Bel Air from the original owner in 1970. During its restoration, the body was stripped to bare metal and repainted in a red and white by La Best Auto Body and Collision in Tujunga, California.
Inside the Bel Air, you’ll find new black vinyl covers with outlined Chevy emblems. The door panels are upholstered in red and black vinyl.
Featured on the dash are “Bel Era” Danchuk gauges that replaced the factory instruments, as well as an AM radio and analog clock. The odometer shows 2,185 miles, those added after the restoration.
The engine has a Holley 4-barrel 650cfm carburetor, Edelbrock performance upgrades including an aluminum radiator, valve covers and a dual-snorkel air intake.
