Description of 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air/150/210 |
Upgraded V8 power, an overdrive transmission, upgraded suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and a leather-lined custom A/C interior are all wrapped in a sleek red icon. That's why this 1956 Chevrolet 210 is truly irresistible. There is a secret deal you make when buying the right restomod. It's the quiet acknowledgement that they get built with a little extra flash because more people are going to see it. After all, you can drive this '56 more comfortably to many more places, so this will be seen by plenty more people. The upgrades start with the paint. Take a moment to appreciate the slickness of this modern application. It really let's people know you have a red-hot Chevy. They took their time to professionally lay it out, and so it draws even more attention to the crisp bodywork. Plus, the brightwork attracts attention all on its own. There was plenty invested here, and you can see it in how the full-length side trim shines so bright while also showcasing the straightness of the body. You see more of this outstanding shine in the mirror-like wraparound chrome bumpers, door handles, emblems, jet-inspired hood ornament, and the 1956's exclusive wide grille. And those Coys alloys with an aggressive 17/18 inch front/rear stagger and lowered suspension gives this the right stance for an upgraded machine. One look inside, and you can instantly tell this is a restomod that will leave you wanting for nothing. After all, those front bucket seats have the kind of comfort they never imagined in the 1950s. They are finished in a supple leather, and yours even power adjusts to the ideal individual position. This is a thoughtful presentation where the front buckets set the tone for the custom rear bench, dash, carpeting, door panels, and even the trunk. There's a custom armrest center console that houses great modern features like power window controls, cup holders, and a Pioneer AM/FM/ CD player with aux input for your iPod. It also has the controls for the air conditioning that keep this classic a cool modern cruiser. The dash has a clean look, and the Lecarra steering wheel is leather-wrapped to match the rest of the car. It's mounted on an Ididit tilt steering column to give you a clear view to the full Classic Instruments gauge package. The engine bay has an impressive look where not only the firewall is painted to match the body, but also the engine block and other details are done in red, too. The first Tri-Five Chevys were at the dawn of the small block era, so it's great to continue that tradition here. But just like the rest of the car, it has been nicely upgraded. The 350 cubic-inch V8 was larger than anything you got in 1956, and this one has been upgraded with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock aluminum air gap intake. It fires up readily and makes a nice performance sound out of the X-pipe dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers. As you look underneath the car, you're going to see the kind of painted frame that will make you want to put a mirror under this one. You'll also spot great upgrades, like a tubular control arm front suspension, custom integrated rear leaf springs, a Ford 9-inch rear, and Hellwig sway bars front and rear. An upgraded machine like this wants to deliver the best driving experience, and so you also have a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, power steering, and four-wheel power disc brakes. Complete with build receipts, this is the one-of-a-kind '56 Chevy that you've always dreamed of owning. But there's only one up for grabs so hurry and call today! |
