The car is said to have been refurbished during previous ownership in 2020 and was acquired by the selling dealer in 2021. This Nomad is offered in New York with a clean New Jersey title.
The car is said to have been repainted red and white during the 2020 refurbishment. Features include a two-piece tailgate, chrome trim and bumpers, wrap-around rear glass, “Bel Air” and “Nomad” badging, styled tailfins with brushed metal inserts, and sliding rear windows.
The 18″ polished Boyds wheels are mounted with Ironman iMove Gen 2 tires measuring 225/45 up front and 245/45 out back. The car is equipped with power steering and braking is provided by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. The selling dealer notes that the brake lines and disc brakes were replaced during the refurbishment.
The twin bench seats have been reupholstered in white vinyl with red inserts. Features include a heater/defroster, retro-style AM/FM stereo, Hurst T-handle shifter, an analog clock, aftermarket speakers, crank windows, and “Bel Air” branded floor mats. The interior is said to have been reupholstered, and the wiring was replaced during the 2020 refurbishment.
The billet steering wheel is mounted to a tilt column and frames a 110-mph speedometer and gauges measuring coolant temperature and fuel level. A trio of Bosch gauges are mounted below the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 54k miles, approximately 100 of which have been added by the selling dealer. Total mileage is unknown.
The replacement 327ci V8 features a Holley four-barrel carburetor, an aluminum intake manifold, electronic ignition, ceramic coated headers, chrome Edelbrock valve covers, and an aluminum radiator. The selling dealer notes that the fuel tank and lines were replaced during the refurbishment.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The car is fitted with a 2.5″ dual exhaust system that dumps before the rear axle.
