1955 Chevrolet Bel Air LS3 Restomod - Magazine Featured Repeat Attender Build - Featured in the 2026 issue of All Chevy Performance Magazine (Volume 6, Issue 62), this professionally built 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air is a masterclass in pro-touring design. It seamlessly blends the iconic Tri-Five silhouette with modern, track-capable performance and luxury-level drivability. Conceived as a no-expense-spared, ground-up project, this Bel Air brings together the talents of some of the best in the business. The world-renowned crew at Miranda Built in Boynton Beach, Florida, handled the conceptualization, chassis, drivetrain, and custom interior, while the flawless bodywork and paint were executed by V&J Auto Body right here in Lindenhurst, New York. The result is a turn-key, show-stopping street machine that drives like a modern sports car. Performance & Drivetrain Lift the hood on the CVF billet aluminum hinges, and you'll find a beautifully dressed GM LS3 6.2L (376ci) V8 pushing an impressive 525 horsepower. The engine bay is a work of art, detailed to perfection. Engine: Chevrolet Performance LS3 with a Hot Cammed hydraulic camshaft and L92 rectangular port cylinder heads.
