The transformation of this two-door wagon ensures it can match the performance of all but the swiftest sports cars. Originally equipped with modest engines in 1955, such as the Chevy Stovebolt V6 or an early small block Chevy V8, the ’55 Tri-Five has undergone a remarkable upgrade.
Now, stripped down to its chassis, this vehicle boasts a Dodge Viper V10 engine, known for its distinct character and formidable power output. Paired with a Tremec manual gearbox and a Chevy ten-bolt rear axle, the Tri-Five has been outfitted with suspension and braking upgrades to handle its newfound power.
With enhancements like a full-performance front suspension kit and grippy ZR-rated tires, this restomod delivers impressive performance. Finished in a striking Lavender Metallic paint with a matching Chamois leather interior, this Tri-Five stands out among its peers.
While its auction has concluded, the level of refinement and performance it offers rivals luxury wagons from Cadillac, Mercedes-AMG, or Audi, showcasing the potential of well-executed restomods.
