Used 1955 Chevrolet Nomad for sale in Arlington, TX
Vehicle Description
There was once a time when station wagons were the uncool family car you rode in on vacation but boy things sure have changed. Station wagons have become very highly sought after and are the bases for some of the coolest customs ever created. Out of the station wagons the Nomad has to be near the top of the list when it comes to popularity. The Nomad you just found is an extremely well built car that went through a full frame off restoration that was completed in 2018. The body is laser straight and coated in a custom Snake Skin Green which you may have seen previously on some '08 Dodge Vipers. It is a base coat/clear coat paint job that is very slick and in excellent condition. All of the stainless and chrome work has been redone with the only exception being the front and rear bumpers because they are new. These cars had lots of windows and all of the smoked glass really looks good on the car. The lights are all in good shape and all are working properly. The tail lights and parking lights have been converted to LED. The car has an excellent stance and rides around on 17 inch Budnik wheels with Nitto tires.
Pop the hood and you will see that not only does the car have a fresh custom exterior but the entire drive train has been reworked as well. It is now sporting a brand new LS3 (430hp) motor that runs extremely well. The engine compartment is very clean with everything painted to match the body including the custom engine cover. These motors provide a lot of power which is smoothly transferred through the 4L65E 4 speed overdrive transmission to the C4 Corvette rear end and then to the ground. That isn't the only Corvette feature on the car because the front and suspension were redone with Corvette components as well in addition to Bilstein shocks. It all sits on a custom chassis built by RR Frames out of Montana ( that has been coated with Chassis Saver to keep it always looking good and free from rust. The wiring was redone with a new Centech harness so electrical issues are no concern here. You can't beat the sound of this thing because the new 2.5 inch exhaust system utilizes Borla SS mufflers for that perfect rumble. The polished Be Cool radiator and condenser keeps the temperature always down especially with the dual 13 inch electric fans. It also has a polished overflow intake. The brakes are all Wilwood discs as is the master cylinder.
Prior to the custom interior being installed the surfaces we completely covered with Dynamat. This helps not only insulate it from heat but keep the road noise out. The seats are out of a 2005 Sebring Convertible and are covered with a two tone Ivory and Brown Naugahyde. The carpet and headliner are brown new and done in Brown. The custom center console runs in between the bucket seats and houses billet cupholders. The dash features a very cool combo of both stock and custom components. For the most part it has the original layout except for the inset Classic Auto AC vents. The original trim has been replaced with a wood grain piece to match the Brown in the rest of the interior. The gauge section has the same shape but has been changed out with Dakota Digital gauges. The stereo looks vintage but is actually a Custom Auto radio with Kicker speakers which sound great. Other nice components include the tilt column, electric raingear wipers, and a modern steering wheel.
This car has a ton of excellent components built into and we have just scratched the service. It is a high level pro touring custom that can be driven and shown anywhere.
Combine the fact that it is a Nomad plus the full pro touring build and there is no way you could replicate it for only $103,500.00!
NOW REDUCED DOWN TO $94,500.00!
