One Supercharger? That’s Nothing, According To This 1953 Bel Air

January 27, 2019

The engine is far from the only change that’s been made to the Vortex — what kind of restomod would it be otherwise? The engine is hooked up to a TH350 automatic transmission that feeds into a Ford 9-incher. Further back, you’ll find a diffuser, improving the car’s aerodynamics and downforce.

Then we come to the body. Taking one look at it, you can tell it’s far, far from stock. The chassis has been replaced with a custom one by Art Morrison, and the body work has been chopped, widened, and channeled. Perhaps the most obvious change though, are the doors. The old fashioned stock ones have been replaced with suicide doors, which, given the new engine, are somewhat accurately named. A superb car, it’s apparently going to be auctioned in the near future.
