If you've been searching for a striking Chevy showpiece, but want something that's a heck of a lot more fun than a stuffy restored-to-original car, this spectacular Bel Air's combination of vintage style and modern performance simply can't be beat! The subject of a multi-year frame-off reboot that was executed by Keith's Classic Restoration in Mocksville, North Carolina, this stunning tri-five sedan was definitely built for keeps. From the first glance to the last, the car exudes a sense of quality that only comes from countless hours of work and a few serious credit card bills. And overall, this Chevy presents extremely well, displaying a depth and luster that would give most modern luxury cars an inferiority complex. Take a look between this Bel Air's smooth, Turquoise fenders and you'll find a hot GM Performance Parts ZZ4 crate engine which utilizes a forged 1053 crank, powdered connecting rods, a hydraulic roller cam, hypereutectic flat tops and stout 10 to 1 compression to create over 355 horsepower and 405 lb./ft. of torque! Behind that stout small block, a rock-solid Tremec TKO600 5-speed, which has been fitted with both a Keisler kit and a hydraulic clutch, sends power to a tough Ford nine inch posi-traction rear end that's equipped with wiry 3.70 gears. Tight turns and easy apexes come courtesy of modern power rack and pinion steering. Quick stops and excellent pedal feel are supplied by a GM-style power four wheel disc brake system that's complete with body-matched calipers and big drilled and slotted rotors. And all this head turning style rides on 235/45 front and 255/45 rear Nanking Sport NS-1 radials that are wrapped around a sweet set of 17 inch polished Coys wheels. The Chevy Bel Air is an American icon, and this sedan puts a highly unique spin on a familiar face. Call, click or visit http://RKMotorsCharlotte.com for more information on this awesome tri-five!
