You stopped to look, because it's a 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air sedan at quite a nice price. But more than just value, dig a little deeper to discover bright modern paint, an upgraded A/C interior, a fresh crate V8, and ever an overdrive transmission. So this is the affordable iconic classic is already exactly how you want it. This sedan is pure distinction with the jet-inspired ornament on the hood, unique single-year grille, and sweeping side trim that is arguably the most handsome of the Tri-Five era. Of course, it also helps to have a car that looks this bright. The light copper metallic has a deep luster from a modern clear coat. The white in this two-tone presentation has the same gloss, so the sunlight loves the 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 complete just how it is here. Besides striking, this one is also out for a performance appearance. So you'll notice the large 16-inch American Racing wheels that give an extra hint of aggression. The two tone continues on the inside. The white seats with textured copper inserts has that kind of cool that could only come from a '50s design, but the fresh feeling tells you this was a recent investment. The full color theme is continued on the dash, carpeting, and especially the artful door panels. The overall effect is a well-coordinated total package. Everything you love about these icons are still in place. This includes the fan-style gauge cluster and dual-cowl dash that resembles the Corvettes of the era. But now you also benefit from the best upgrades like the comfortable wood and chrome steering wheel, an auxiliary gauge trio, and an updated AM/FM/cassette stereo with digital tuner. And best of all, vents have been expertly installed for the modern and cold R134a air conditioning. When you lift the hood, the 350 cubic-inch small block V8 looks brand new, and that's because it practically is! There is only about 350 miles on this fresh crate motor. That means you get the great Tri-Five Chevy small block legacy, but in a fresh and powerful package. This V8 even benefits from an aluminum intake, four-barrel carburetor, MSD ignition, and long tube headers that feed the rumbling dual exhaust. The full package is rated around 300 horsepower. But more than just a powerful icon, this one was built to comfortably drive anywhere. That's why you have great features like an electric cooling fan, trans cooler, and a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive. Plus, there's great suspension upgrades like a thick sway bar up front, traction bars in the rear, power steering, and front disc brakes. Starting to get the full picture on this one? It's the bright Bel Air that you can comfortably cruise anywhere in A/C comfort. So at this price, you know you need to hurry to grab this deal. Call now!
