1955 CHEVROLET BEL AIR ONE OWNER 30-YRS FRAME-OFF $100,000 EST COST TO DUPLICATE
 

THIS STUNNING 1955 CHEVROLET BEL AIR STANDS APART FROM "THE PACK" OF MOST EXAMPLES YOU WILL SEE...

  • ONE OWNER FOR 30 YEARS...the best cars usually have long-time ownership histories
  • HIGH QUALITY FRAME-OFF RESTORATION...estimated cost of duplication: $100,000 
  • HIGH AUTHENTICITY...it is becoming increasingly difficult to find an authentic period-correct restoration on these cars...the world seems to abound with "resto-mods" 
  • BEAUTIFUL COLORS...show-quality basecoat/clearcoat Glacier Blue and Indian Ivory
  • NEW WIRING
  • NEW FRONT & SIDE GLASS...with newly chromed side glass frames
  • WONDERBAR (POWER TUNING) RADIO

IMPORTANT IMAGE NOTES: To illustrate the very high quality and period-correctness of this classic Bel Air, there are well over 100 images. The first 18 images are intended to give a quick overall presentation of the car from a variety of vantage points.

Seasoned collectors know that the better the car, the better it looks CLOSE-UP...so there are several sets of close-ups for serious buyers featuring the Exterior, Interior, Engine Compartment, and Undercarriage.

To see ALL the images...you MUST place your cursor on an image - allow plenty of time for all images to download - and then scroll slowly ALL the way to the bottom.

CAUTION: if you use the scroller to the FAR RIGHT of your screen or the "Click to view image album" feature...you will NOT see all the images.

2,422 TRANSACTIONS WITH HAPPY PEOPLE! As of the date of this listing, we've had 2,422 transactions (both buying and selling) on eBay without a single complaint. One of the keys to our selling success is the use of LARGER and MORE images than you will likely see in ANY other eBay listing...so you can CLEARLY see what you are getting.

QUESTIONS?   Please call Jim Murphy at 706-429-7924 if you have any questions that this description or the pictures at right do not answer for you.

INVESTMENT POTENTIAL...the 1955 Chevy Bel Air has been and will continue to be one of the "blue chips" in the classic car field.  Its place in history is solidly established because it was the FIRST year that Chevrolet successfully transitioned itself from a practical transportation vehicle at an economy price, into something really glamorous that the public WANTED!  It also introduced the famed "small-block" V8 that made Chevrolet an excellent highway performer.

CHEVY'S "LITTLE CADILLAC"...the 1955 Chevy - in Bel Air form - was so glamorous, it was often often called "Chevy's little Cadillac"!  It looked super classy then, and looks super classy 60 years later as it brings a "thumbs up" from everyone from 8 to 80 years old everywhere you drive it.

BRIDGES THE "GENERATION GAP"...it's a funny thing.  Kids today will see this car going down the street and immediately stop whatever they are doing to smile and wave.  They may not know what year it was made...or even the make...but they DO know that it's COOL!

VIN NUMBER DECODING: VC55S061856 decodes as follows...VC (BEL AIR with 8 cylinder engine) 55 (1955 model year) S (St. Louis, Missouri Plant) 061856 (serial production unit sequence)

NO CAR AT - ANY PRICE - IS  ABSOLUTELY PERFECT...the horn, clock, and gas gauge are inoperative, the Wonderbar Radio will require service, and the back-up lamps are a bit erratic. The overdrive and windshield washer are untested.  We have made every effort to identify known imperfections, but everyone views these cars differently, and it is not impossible for us to have missed an item, or view a condition differently than a prospective buyer.

PAYMENT DETAILS: Payment is due within 3 days of auction's end via Bank to Bank Wire Transfer. Vehicle will be released to the new owner immediately upon full clearance of payment to seller's Bank.

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS are welcome, but MUST adhere to the Payment Details above and also make all arrangements for pick-up and importation of the vehicle into the Buyer's country. We will store the car free of charge for a reasonable period of time while transportation is arranged for the car.

ABOUT ME: I am an avid car enthusiast. After retiring from 30 years of sales and marketing in a Global 100 company, I formed Murphy Endeavors, LLC and began buying and selling classic cars as a collector and for friends and clients. This beautiful 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air belongs to a friend and fellow Classic Car enthusiast.

Please note  that I have had 2,422 eBay transactions with 100% Positive Feedback and have sold classic cars to happy eBay customers in Sweden, Switzerland, France, Australia, Russia, Canada, Japan, and throughout the United States.

IMPORTANT FINAL REMARKS & CONDITIONS OF SALE...the Buyer will receive a Notarized Bill of Sale and the Georgia-issued (clear) Registration Document...which is proof of ownership for ALL pre-1962 vehicles in the State of Georgia.  Georgia did not begin issuing auto titles until 1962 and does not issue them for ANY pre-1962 cars.  

Though significant dollar investments have been made to make the Bel Air a reliable and satisfying road performer...it remains a 60-year old vehicle with 60-year old technology. Continual maintenance and restoration has made this one of the best examples one will likely ever find...but continued maintenance will be needed in the future.  As owners of 1950s cars well know...even the best restored classics will need repairs from time to time, and often without notice.  Therefore, this sale is strictly on an as-is and final basis with no warranties or liabilities expressed or implied.

Pre-purchase examination of the car (if desired) is welcomed before (not after) the auction's closing and can be easily arranged by appointment.
