From the 210 to the iconic Bel Air, the mid-50s Tri-Fives remain some of the most sought after and widely recognized classic cars out there. Not surprisingly, car shows and events all across the country are littered with them, from rustic factory-originals to souped up performance machines. But not too often do we come across a Tri-Five build quite as nice as this one currently up for grabs through RK Motors Charlotte. Check it out below!

This amazing black 1955 Bel Air is the perfect mix of traditional appeal and modern performance. With a GM 5.7L LS1 Corvette engine under the hood, backed by a Borg Warner T56 6-speed transmission, this bad boy is good for about 375 hp. And with just 2,518 miles on the new engine, we’re certain it’s worth its weight in performance and more.

Out back, the Tri-Five features a Penske Racing Ford 9-inch stuffed with 3.45 gears backed by a custom suspension setup with Caltracs-style traction bars and pocketed leaf springs in the rear, framed out by mini tubs, and double A-arms in the front, as well as a 5-inch drop thanks to Monroe Sensa Trac shocks all the way around.

Stopping power for this beast comes from Wilwood disc brakes on all four corners while 17-inch front and 18-inch rear Billet Specialties Fast Lane wheels wrapped in sticky 225/45ZR17 and 275/35ZR18 BF Goodrich tires help give the car the grip it needs and the stance you’ve got to love.

Wrapping the car into the full package is 100-percent stock sheet metal that was treated to expert gapping and finish work during the car’s 2-year frame-off restoration. Inside, the interior follows suit with much attention paid to every detail.

Power front bucket seats and a rear bench in grey leather with red accents make up this classic Tri-Five’s seating arrangements, while new grey carpet and rubber floor mats provide cushion and protection to the car’s floor.

A silver dash sits up front featuring new billet trim, a Vintage Air climate control system, Classic Instruments gauges and a leather-wrapped vent panel. The interior of the car also features a custom center console and Pioneer/Alpine stereo system.

Just like other gorgeous Tri-Fives that have made their way to RK Motors Charlotte, this one is not expected to stick around very long, so be sure to grab this chance to purchase one of the industry’s most iconic cars from one of the best sellers of prestigious builds today. Priced at $119,900, this may be the car and price-point combination you’ve been waiting for!
