Restored Classics and Hot Rods Highlight Spring Specialty Auto Auction

Specialty Auto Auctions is set to feature a standout trio of classic and custom vehicles at its Spring 2025 Auction on May 10, including two 1933 Ford street rods and a head-turning 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air. Each vehicle blends restoration excellence with distinct styling and performance upgrades—sure to attract collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Lot #52 brings a 1933 Ford Sedan with an original steel body, finished in a deep Mercedes Glass Black paint. Offered from the Gene Lang Collection, this street rod is powered by a 375-horsepower 350ci Chevrolet V8, backed by an automatic transmission. The interior features leather upholstery and modern comforts like air conditioning, while American Racing wheels, rack and pinion steering, and disc brakes round out its street-ready credentials.

Also crossing the block is a highly customized 1933 Ford Roadster (VIN 1824309), built by Hot Rod Products, Inc. Featuring a 350ci small block V8 with an Edelbrock intake and carburetor, this bright red roadster includes Rootlieb steel hood, suicide doors, power windows and trunk, and heated tan seats. Its foundation is a TCI Stage III chassis with an independent front suspension, Ford 9-inch rear, and coilovers all around—a professionally built showpiece with true driving potential.

From the same Gene Lang Collection as the black ’33 Ford comes Lot #46, a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air restored with a bold gold exterior and black leather interior. Retaining its original Kansas provenance, this two-door coupe has been reimagined in Gasser-style, lifting the front without modifying the frame for both stance and drivability. It’s powered by a 327ci small block with performance upgrades and a 4-speed manual transmission. A Goodguys Nationals winner in 2022, the Bel Air blends period-correct flair with serious show car credibility.

These vehicles are being sold at Specialty Auto Auction in Greeley, Colorado on Saturday May 10th. Visit specialtyautoauction.com to see all the vehicles for sale and register to bid.
