Old Chevy Bel Air Nomad 4-Speed Driven by a 327

This 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad has a color-coordinated interior and is finished in blue and ivory. It is powered by a replacement 327ci V8 coupled with a four-speed manual transmission. This vehicle has a number of desirable features, such as power steering, power front disc brakes, an aftermarket digital stereo, a Hurst shifter, an Edelbrock intake manifold and four-barrel carburetor, an MSD ignition coil, a Mallory distributor, and an aluminum radiator. It is also equipped with these features. The owner bought the car in 2017 and after that put a tilt steering column and a Grant wheel on it and polished the bumpers and chrome trim. A car cover and a clear title from Texas are now being offered by the vendor, who is acting on behalf of the owner, together with this Nomad.

A chrome tilting column supports the leather-wrapped Grant steering wheel, which in turn frames a speedometer with a range of 110 mph as well as gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The present owner is claimed to have installed the steering wheel and column. At the very bottom of the dashboard is a trio of gauges made by Sunpro. It is reported that the mechanical odometer, which has five digits and indicates 32 miles, has rolled over. Under the present ownership, about 1,000 miles have been added. No one knows the total mileage.

 

The previous owner swapped out the standard 265ci V8 for a 327ci V8. Included in its features are a chrome air cleaner assembly, finned valve covers, an Edelbrock intake manifold and four-barrel carburetor, a Mallory distributor, and an MSD ignition coil. The exhaust headers are tubular. A cooling fan that runs on electricity has been set up alongside an aluminum radiator. The sale was prepared for with a smooth service.

 

Thanks to the four-speed manual transmission, the power is sent to the back wheels. A dual exhaust system that is aftermarket has been installed.
