Details

This 1955 Chevrolet 150 Custom 2-Door Post went through a frame-off, nut-and-bolt restoration and is powered by a 350/350hp Ram Jet V8 engine mated to a General Motors 4L65E 4-speed automatic transmission. It features a Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.55 gears and a 4-link suspension. This Chevy rides on a full Art Morrison GT chassis that has been powder-coated and features ride-height-adjustable coilover shocks on all four corners and large sway bars. To slow down, it has 4-wheel Wilwood disc brakes with slotted rotors and an E-Stopp electric parking brake. The exterior is finished high gloss black with Lilac and Blue Pearl ghost flames. There are many subtle custom features to the body that include streamlining the hood profile, removing the wing windows, replacing the gas filler door with a taillight gas filler, frenching the radio antenna, smoothing the bumpers, installing flush-level door handles and a custom billet grille. The red and white Del Ray interior has been upgraded with an Ididit tilt steering column with push-button start, customized original steering wheel, Panasonic stereo system with front door and backseat custom panel speakers. A Vintage Air Gen IV intelligent climate control system with Dakota Digital DCC-2400 controller was installed to maintain the cabin temperature, and it includes a dehumidify and defrost mode. The ash tray was removed and the glove box elongated to contain the hidden controls for the security system, gas filler switch and parking brake switch. The in-dash heater controls and radio were removed and Dakota digital gauges were installed. Further upgrades include keyless entry, power steering, power windows, power door locks and power seats.
