#4 — 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air 454 Restomod, Milton Robison Collection
Part of the Milton Robison collection with an estimated $200,000-plus invested, this Gypsy Red '55 hides a massive 454 big-block under its custom hood scoop, breathing through an Edelbrock Air Gap intake and Holley four-barrel. A Richmond 6-speed manual sends power to a Currie 9-inch rear axle, while a red-and-white vinyl interior with digital gauges and factory-look air conditioning keeps things comfortable. Asking price: $156,995.

#5 — 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible, All-Original 265 V8
For those who want their Tri-Five untouched, this red-and-white '55 convertible keeps its factory 265ci V8 and 2-speed Powerglide transmission intact, right down to the original AM radio and column shifter. Aluminum wheels and whitewall tires complete a period-correct look on a car built purely for cruising, not corner-carving. Asking price: $151,000.

#6 — 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible, Matching-Numbers 283
This turquoise '57 convertible is a two-owner survivor with a matching-numbers 283 V8 rebuilt just a few hundred miles ago, along with a 2024 reupholstered interior and a 2020 repaint in its original color. With under 1,400 miles showing and a new vinyl top, it's a rare chance to buy an honest, numbers-matching Bel Air rather than a resto-mod tribute. Asking price: $145,000.

Riding on polished 22-inch Intro wheels, this Gypsy Red '55 convertible pairs a fuel-injected 6.2L LS3 with a 4L60E automatic and Borla dual exhaust for a modern soundtrack. A narrowed Ford 9-inch rear end, QA1 front coilovers, and four-wheel Wilwood discs handle the chassis duties, while a freshly finished tan leather interior with a hidden JL Audio subwoofer rounds out a genuine show-and-go build. Asking price: $143,995.

Wearing a two-tone Candy Apple Red and Black Cherry paint scheme with a black-and-red TMI interior, this '56 hides a CBM-built 625-horsepower LS1 under the hood, backed by a 6L80 automatic. A Currie 9-inch rear end, Heidts Superide II front suspension, and a four-link rear give it a genuinely modern chassis to match its serious power. Asking price: $139,750.

A continental kit with an NOS spare tire cover and wide whitewalls complete a genuinely well-preserved take on Chevy's most iconic Tri-Five. Asking price: $129,995.

A Ford 9-inch rear end with a Ridetech 4-link, Wilwood four-wheel discs, and custom American Racing wheels give it modern manners, while a black-and-white Del Ray interior keeps the cabin true to Tri-Five style. Asking price: $119,900.
