Chevrolet
Bel Air 2-Door

ABOUT THIS CAR

Now here’s something a bit cool… A 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air two-door sedan that’s been purpose-built for historic endurance rallying. Now located here in the UK but officially still registered in the US, this classic rally car has been extensively modified for long-distance events and would be a fantastic option for someone looking to take part in the world’s best motoring adventures.

Performance: A 350ci V8 crate engine, installed in 2018, is paired with a Tremec 6-speed manual transmission. The engine features an aluminum intake manifold, a Holley four-barrel carburetor, and finned Corvette valve covers. Additional upgrades include an aluminum radiator, an electric cooling fan, a 100-amp alternator, and an electric fuel pump with a water separator—ideal for dealing with poor-quality fuel on long expeditions. The gearbox is a delight to use, and the power of that V8 means that despite the car’s size, it really picks up and goes!
