THE AWARD WINNING 1955 "SILVERBACK"! JUST COMPLETED A TWO YEAR PROFESSIONAL RESTORATION! LESS THAN 50 MILES!
105+ PHOTOS & VIDEO LOCATED BELOW! ENJOY!
If you're a Chevy guy (or gal) then you're going to enjoy our 55. If you're a Tri-Five guy (or gal), well
you're about to mess up all of your priorities by putting this thing at the top of your "want list". For that,
I apologize. If you're neither of the two, well chances are you're a Prius guy and if that's the case, I think
they've got reruns of Friends running on the Oprah network for all of April.
One of my good buddies just finished building this 55. He took it all the way down and brought it all
the way up. It just took 2nd place at World of Wheels (couple months ago). The paint and body work on the car is
great. It was done in a two stage base coat clear coat and was done by a very talented & experienced auto artist
by the name of Larry Liles. He owns Fine Line Customs out of Tightward, Missouri. The black and silver with the
combination of the staggered black rims, really give the 55 it's own mean appearance. Like a true Silverback, it
is hunched and ready to tear the street apart. All of the chrome & stainless has either been redone or replaced
with new pieces. The majority of it being refurbished. All of the glass through out the 55 has been replaced with
new smoked glass. It's got new body bushings as well as a new idler arm. He put all new emblems through out and
went ahead with the "Belair" upgrade.
The 350 motor within this 55 has been rebuilt and is in excellent mechanical order. The 600 Edelbrock
provides the perfect balance between having a nice cruiser but with enough power that if you want to get around
someone then there is more then plenty to work with. Want to just roast the tires to burn off some steam? She'll
do that and then some. It is fed by a new Holley Blue electric fuel pump. To keep her cool he installed a new
aluminum radiator. The 350 Turbo transmission was also rebuilt and functions flawlessly. She shifts through gears
with ease. He also bought and installed a brand new Ron Francis wiring harness. She does have four wheel disc
brakes all the way around. All of which work exceptionally well. The Ford 9' rear end also works flawlessly. He
also bought a new power steering setup for it which also works flawlessly.
The interior was completely tore down with the rest of the car at the beginning of the build. So all of it
was reupholstered. From the carpet to the headliner, it is all new. The tilt steering column along with the
brand new wood grain steering wheel, all new. When you first climb in, you immediately smell just how new it is.
It is quite comforting.
