We have reported so much lately about the tuning trend par excellence in the USA, the Restomods. The newly built and modernized vehicles, most of which have been around for over 50 years, were rescued from the scrap press by resourceful car enthusiasts, and were often already in a catastrophic condition, are currently the best sellers overseas. Regardless of whether it is sports cars, pickups, off-road vehicles, sedans or station wagons, every type of vehicle is represented when it comes to equipping oldies with modern technology and high-horsepower engines. It is the same with this one 1955 Chevrolet Nomad that we are introducing to you today. It was put through an elaborate process that involved whole five years stretched from the ground up rebuilt, modernized, and to the powerful Sleeper car with modern V8 engine modified.
Copper-colored oldie with show potential.
There are a lot of restomods of the Chevy Nomad, but this one is very special because the color is already named Vibrance Nutmeg is pretty impressive. Of course, they go with that chrome wheels, which have a very elegant five-spoke optics, from our point of view perfect. You can really see from the meticulously modified exterior that a lot of heart and soul and countless dollars have flowed into the project over the past five years. You can definitely be seen with the car at any US car meeting, and many car fans have their mouths watering at the sight of the perfectly restored car.
Interior with numerous luxury goodies.
The interior was completely in saddle brown leather called Light mocha lined, and the seats are made of yellow leather called Autumn Yellow. Center armrest, which includes a storage compartment, is with bamboo disguised, and Wood in parquet look embellishes the entire cargo space. But that is far from the end of the flagpole, as all conceivable comfort features have found their way into the Nomad. Starting with one Touchscreen by Pioneerwho for that Infotainment system is responsible, and one Backup camera owns up to one Dakota Digital's digital cockpitthat allows the future of driving to move into the vehicle. Furthermore, a Sound system with six speakers built in, which should provide a sophisticated sound experience.
LSA Crate-V8 with supercharger does its job.
There's a in the engine compartment LSA Crate V8 petrol engine installed, which thanks supercharged tight 560 PS perform. By the way, this engine is very modern via start button started, and no longer with the help of a key. The power is transmitted via a Automatic transmission on the rear wheels. We assume that the performance of the Chevys is at a very high level and we are very sure that you will be able to achieve the quarter mile so some modern sports cars can leave behind. But you shouldn't mess with this darling, because it would be a shame to burn this unique Chevrolet Nomad on the drag strip.
Our conclusion on this Chevy:
If the perfect restomod even exists, this nomad is already very close. This probably unique oldie is currently at Barrett Jackson in Scottsdale (Lot 1345), Arizona, auctioned. There are no minimum bid, and interested parties online can already place their bids. You should not have the necessary change to bid at the auction, then you can click through the picture gallery that we have provided for you.
