1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible Fuel injected V8 overdrive auto 55 Chevy

1955 Chevrolet Bel air convertible Fuel injected with overdrive automatic transmission.

Re listed as the buyer failed to complete the transaction.

Up for sale is your chance to own a very nice convertible project and to save a lot of money.

The asking price for this car and countless parts is less than what the empty fiberglass shell would cost you.

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. If you can invest a little time over the next few months you could be cruising in a classic convertible this summer.

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.

Title / Ownership / Registration documents:The local DMV (Ontario Ministry of transportation) has issued the proper Ontario ownership documents (in my name)showing the body style as a black 1955 convertible using the VIN number for the donor 1955 sedan that supplied the chassis the new body is resting on. I have the original G.M. VIN body tag matching the numbers shown on the ownership documents.

Please note that Ontario has never issued vehicle titles. The document I have is known locally as the “Ownership” to the car and serves the same purpose as a title. On the back of this document is a form that the buyer and seller fill out and sign to request that the ownership of the car be transferred to the new owner.

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.

The asking price for this car and countless parts is far less than what the empty fibreglass shell would cost you. If you bought the shell from the manufacturer 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 !

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.

What is missing & left to do?

I will do my best to be honest and try to tell you what you need to complete the car but please review the pictures and my description for what is included. If you do not see it listed or see it in the photos (http://imgur.com/a/L8Ez7 )please assume I do not have it unless you ask.

To drive the car you will need brakes, xhaust system, driveshaft & a shifter for the transmission.

I do not have a windshield or door glass but do have the expensive convertible only rear quarter windows. The windshield and door glass can be purchased from any glass shop for a reasonable price as they are the same as the hardtops. No radi, iper motor or drive parts. trunk hinges, r interior other than the front seat. Many of the trim and dash items have been only temporally installed for photos as I would be removing them to primmer and paint the car. While the entire wiring harness has been installed and the engine will start and run the final connections will need to be made at the dash switches and at the lights once the car is painted and final assembly made. All of the GM factory electrical connectors are installed and clearly marked. The front fenders and hood have not been shimmed once again because they will be removed for paint.
