Description of 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air/150/210 |
Attention classic car drivers, this iconic 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air post coupe was restored just for you! It not only has a beautiful matching color scheme inside and out, but also it has all the great features you want like A/C, disc brakes, overdrive transmission, and a performance V8. Best of all, this build is still fresh with less than 860 miles on it.The first question you're likely to ask is, does this vintage coupe looks as good in person as it does in the pictures? The answer is no...It's better! The car strikes a balance between iconic classic and all-out hot rod, and the paint starts off this impression perfectly. The Cheyenne Red is some of the deepest and shiniest we've seen in quite a while, and that's thanks to a large investment in a professional application and modern clearcoat. The gray in this two-tone presentation has the same luster, so the sunlight rolls smoothly over this super-straight body. But we all know the best shine comes from all that iconic chrome and sweeping stainless trim. People often have problems finding the right pieces for a '56, so we get excited when it's mirror-like and complete just how it is here. But like we said before, this one is also out for a performance appearance. So you'll notice the 14-inch American Racing wheels that give a hint of aggression.The interior continues the red and gray two-tone theme with a complete custom setup. This is a uniform built that you will be proud to show off with the color scheme being utilized on the seats, door panels, carpeting, dash, and headliner. The front buckets are a new modern instillation that takes advantage of everything from new padding to a cup holder center console to offer true all-day comfort. And that's how you should view this Chevy a great classic with modern convenience. It's why you also have everything from an AM/FM/CD stereo to ice-cold R134a air conditioning integrated into the dash. But even with all its luxury, this a driver's car at its heart. You feel it as you slip behind the upgraded Grant GT steering wheel and grab the B&M shifter. Ahead of you is a full set of AutoMeter gauges and a SunPro tach just below that. It's a clear indication there's something special under the hood.This engine bay has an award-worthy presentation as the painted black walls help highlight all the polished components such as the valve covers, air grabber, brake booster, alternator, and so much more. When you look beyond the glamour, there's the substance of a hardy 350 cubic-inch V8. It's always nice to see small block power in a Tri-Five Chevy because these were the cars that launched that legendary powerplant. And since they handle upgrades so well, this one has been give go-fast goodies such as an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, HEI ignition, and Hedman headers. That last one feeds a wicked stainless dual exhaust to make a serious rumble even at idle. But more than just pure power, there were some thoughtful extras in this build. For example, the aluminum radiator is there to help keep the coupe cool even when you're in traffic with the A/C running. This Bel Air was restored to be great on the long haul, and the four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive is part of that proof. Add in an upgraded independent front suspension with power steering, front disc brakes, and a thick sway bar, and you've got a great cruising iconic Chevy.Complete with photos highlighting the frame-off restoration, your dream Bel Air is available today.
