Only 831 miles on a high end, custom rotisserie build! Roadster Shop chassis, GM crate motor and trans. All work done by professionals in their field. The end result is a very tasteful, dialed in, detailed car. I've spent the last 10 minutes trying to take it all in. I've said "wow" in my head a dozen times! It includes a thick folder of documentation.
EXTERIOR: The body was restored by one of the best shops in the area. It was stripped to a bare shell, put on a rotisserie and media blasted. The body is 100% rust free; every square inch is laser straight. Painted a stunning Royal Ruby Merlot metallic and a Sterling Gray metallic roof. Of course, it's polished like glass. If taken care of, this paint will look this good 20 years from now. All new smoked gray glass. The upper and lower tailgates were completely restored by a specialist. It was recurved, an anti-rattle plate was added, the hinge was upgraded with gas struts, new stainless cable guides and latches, new cables, and retractors. The chrome on the car was done by AIH Chrome to show standards. The stainless trim was sent to Vintage Vehicle where it was straightened and polished like new. Optional bumper guards, rocker trim, dual mirrors, door handle guards. It has Halogen headlights and LED taillights. Sitting pretty on Torque Thrust ll Custom Shop wheels. They are 18x8s in front 18x9.5s in the back and are wearing BFG G-Force performance tires.
INTERIOR: Wow, I'm sitting in the car, and it is as close to perfection as you can get. First of all, it is beautiful, first class. I feel I'm not dressed up enough! It was completely gutted media blasted inside, then lined with sound deadener. Completely updated AutoWire wiring harness and fuse box. The custom work was designed and built by Cassin Customizing. 2 tone gray leather throughout. Beautifully sculpted side panels. Four custom built bucket seats that are bolstered and upholstered in glove soft leather. A custom-made waterfall center console extends between the back seats. It is home to the stereo touchscreen, USB connectors, a/c vents, cup holders and a Lokar electric sport shifter with a bump shift. In the way back there is a custom compartment that conceals the battery and stereo equipment. The system includes double DIN touch screen, Rockford Fosgate 1000 watt amp, 10-inch subwoofer, four 6x9 speakers and two 5-inch speakers with tweeters. Down on the floor is a German square weave carpet, electric gas pedal and retractable seatbelts. On the ceiling is the chrome ribs, a suede headliner, and visors. LED interior lights throughout. The metal is painted as slick as the car, every piece of chrome is show quality. The dash area is beautiful with a modern set of gauges, working clock and Vintage Air electric controls. Beautiful steering wheel on a tilt column.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Right out of the crate, it's a GM Performance LS3 motor. It's 376 cubic inches making 480 hp.

Jay knocked it out of the park, no expense spared this beauty is professional from tip to tail. Iโm almost scared to ask the price, whoever ends up with this work of art will really have something to be proud of thanks again Jay.

This is one sharp custom '55 Nomad!

This gorgeous Nomad gets the WOW factor. What a great build, especially love the dash & gauge setup amongst everything else.
-
Thatโs definitely one of the sweetest rides youโve had on here ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ๐๐

Jay thanks for going over everything with this car. Appreciated - Nobody else does this.

So nice I would be afraid to drive it.
-
I have to agree this is probably one of the best cars that u have thatโs restored like the ls3 updated stuff
-
This is not only a piece of history, but it is an excellent example of industrial art at its finest! Wonderful example of what muscle cars can be close your eyes and you right their in the drive inn restaurant of American Graffiti.

This Nomad and the โ33 Buick Model 68 you previously sold are my absolute favorite, high quality custom restorations. Not only because of the show quality but because they were built to drive, not trailer queens. The only thing missing on this Nomad is cruise control for a nice relaxing trip (unless itโs hidden?). Thanks, Jay! ๐๐๐

-
So Beautiful, wow

Yesterday here in Sarasota on Fruitville Road I saw a 57 Nomad that was quite the sight. Its butt end was so jacked up it looked painful to drive. The geometry for the front end, well I think it was a moot point. Maybe Iโm more of a traditionalist. The paint on this Nomad is so good it really hurts my eyes on my 85 inch Samsung. Great Video Thank You ๐
