Details

This custom 1955 Chevrolet Nomad received a frame-off, rotisserie-restoration by Denny's Bowtie Restoration that took 2 years to complete. The Van Nuys-built Southern California body was placed on a rotisserie, stripped, then metal-finished, with several coats of DTM applied and blocked. Four coats of PPG Greystone Metallic and then five coats of House of Kolor show clear were used, then cut and buffed. This Nomad is powered by a Texas Speed Billet LS engine with dual billet TorqStorm superchargers producing 1,125hp, presently tuned to 750hp for street use. It is equipped with a custom stainless exhaust with Bassani stainless mufflers, wastegate adjustment Mad Dog special-programmed 4L70E automatic transmission, Inland Empire 3.5-inch aluminum driveshaft and Strange Truetrac differential on an Art Morrison GT chassis with RideTech air-ride suspension. Stopping power comes from Wilwood hydro-boost front and rear big brakes with 13-inch slotted 6-piston in front and 12-inch slotted rotors in the rear, along with an internal electronic emergency brake. Other features include a Ricks 18-gallon stainless fuel tank and a lithium 1,200 amp battery with an Odyssey remote 750 amp battery. The exterior is equipped with an electronic taillight gas fill, Dakota Gray shaded glass and Kindig-It 'Spoon' door handles. The custom interior features Corinthian Italian leather, a Vintage Air system, Dakota Digital gauges, German square-weave wool carpet and a custom Alpine entertainment system with a backup camera display. This Nomad is sitting on air-ride suspension with 20x9 AR Stiletto front wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 225X35XZR20 tires. In the rear are 20x10.5 Stiletto rear wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 265X35ZR20 tires.
