This amazing 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air hardtop is one of those cars that already has all the right ingredients. Big horsepower small block? Yep. Manual transmission? Of course. Gorgeous interior with all the toys? What did you expect? And its so nice that its absolutely mind-boggling to believe that the build is almost seven years old. Basic black never looks wrongand#44; but on shoebox Chevysand#44; its downright spectacularand#44; especially rendered in modern two-stage urethane. It tends to emphasize the chrome and trimand#44; all of which remain intact on this mild customand#44; and all of it has been restored to show condition. All the body panels are straightand#44; and the reflections in our photo studio are proof enough that someone invested the time and effort to make this one look right. All the things that make these cars great also make them a challenge to restore; if your panels dont align correctlyand#44; youre going to see it in mismatched trim. It all works together making a car that will get attract attention at first glanceand#44; but really needs extended study to see just how beautifully done it really is. They didnt shaveand#44; deleteand#44; or modify any of the exterior piecesand#44; but you know instantly that this car is specialand#44; which is a testament to the workmanship. Of courseand#44; with more than $90and#44;000 wrapped up in its constructionand#44; youd expect amazing to be standard equipment. The completely restored interior is a big step up from 1956and#44; and offers all the comforts and conveniences of a modern luxury car with all the style of 1956. Seriouslyand#44; is there anyone who thinks they can do a better job than the GM stylists? The factory bench seat is wrapped in beautiful Bel Air upholstery that comes right out of the 1956 factory brochure; welland#44; OKand#44; not exactlyand#44; but it has the right look and the right materials. Black carpets match the dash which retains a factory lookand#44; complete with modern gauges from Classic Instruments that slot right into the original gauge pod. The shifter falls easily to hand and youll be delighted to note that its linked to a 4-speed gearboxand#44; making this Bel Air move like your favorite muscle car. A polished tilt column holds a leather-wrapped wheeland#44; and a powerful entertainment system fills the car with sound thanks to a trunk-mounted amplifierand#44; Kicker 10-inch subwooferand#44; and an iPod interface. And speaking of the trunkand#44; its simply finished with a tailored carpet to give it a cleanand#44; uncluttered look. You cant make a car look this good and not have it performand#44; so a built 383 cubic inch small block Chevy V8 went under the hood. Famous for making great torqueand#44; the engine is happy trundling through traffic or hammering down the interstate. The list of hardware is impressiveand#44; including a solid lifter camshaftand#44; steel crankand#44; double-hump headsand#44; and a Holley Street Avenger carburetor on an Edelbrock Air Gap intake. It never overheatsand#44; idles welland#44; and delivers instant power with a just quick downshift. Its also extremely well detailedand#44; with a smooth firewall and hidden wiring and plumbing for an ultra-clean look. Long-tube headers feed a trick dual exhaust system with Flowmasters and side exhaust tipsand#44; and a Ford 9-inch out back plants the power thanks to a 3.73-geared limited slip inside. Tubular A-armsand#44; coil-over shocksand#44; and front disc brakes make it ride and handle like a modern car and it rides on very trick vintage-looking Halibrand wheels wearing 235/45/17 front and 255/50/17 rear Kumho radials. Customs dont get much nicer than thisand#44; and it includes restoration photos and receipts so you know just how well-built it really is. This is a car that you can drive anywhere with confidenceand#44; and it will still draw a crowd anywhere it goes. Call today! |
