1956 Chevrolet Bel Air $124,500

1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Custom The tri-five Chevrolets truly have a special place in automotive history. They have always been a popular choice among car enthusiasts and there are no signs that will change anytime soon. Pick out any 50's television show or movie and you are almost 100% guaranteed to see one of these cars. They really are an iconic group of cars and some of the most recognizable American cars of all time. Of those everyone has their favorite whether it is the '55, '56, or '57. No matter what year you lean towards there is zero chance you would walk past this '56 without giving it a second look. In a world of custom cars this flamed automobile is always going to stand out. It has a slick gloss Black finish with flames that stretch from the nose through the doors. The body is all solid throughout with zero rust. It is a real Bel Air but wears the 210 trim package all of which has a nice shine. The glass is all good with zero issues and is tinted. The car has an awesome stance and rides on a set of clean Gray American Racing wheels wrapped with Goodyear Eagle Sport 255/45R17 tires. The car sits on a custom chassis that was engineered and built by Earl Williams Classic Chassis Works out of California. It runs great and is powered by a Dart Little "M" 406ci motor that dynos out at 545 horsepower. It has plenty of power and is fitted with Edelbrock aluminum heads, a roller cam, air gap Edelbrock intake, dual 4 barrel Edelbrock 500 cfm carburetors, a Scat rotating assembly, an EMS front runner system and a MSD Pro-Billet distributor. The car runs cool thanks to the Be Cool crossflow radiator/condenser and dual electric fan system. It sounds great too with custom Earl Williams headers into the X pipe exhaust that exits under the rear. Paired with the motor is a Silver Sport supplied Tremec TKO 600 5 speed transmission with .64 OD & clutch. That converts power back to the Strange hard case 9 inch Ford rear end with Currie 31 spline axles. Stopping is no problem thanks to the hydro boost power brakes with Wilwood discs under all 4 corners. Other very nice components include the CCP-500 power steering box, 4 link rear suspension, and coil overs up front. The interior is very nicely done in all Black leather with high quality stitching and is in great condition. It has dual bucket seats up front with lap belts and a bench in rear. They are all from an early 60's Cadillac and are power adjustable. The carpeting is all nice and the shifter is mounted to the floor. The dash is fitted with its stock style trim but has been modified with Dakota Digital VHX gauges. Underneath the dash sits the Vintage Air AC system which works great and blows cold. In front of the driver sits a tilt steering column topped off with a 3 spoke wheel with Chevrolet horn button. The trunk offers plenty of storage space and where you will find the relocated battery in a custom battery box. This is a high quality build that only utilizes the best components throughout. It is a real head turner that is guaranteed to get attention wherever it goes. You couldn't come close to building it for $124,500.00!
