1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Two-Door Hardtop
Presented by Desert Private Collection This beautifully built 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Two-Door Hardtop combines timeless Tri-Five styling with modern performance and drivability. Originally an Arizona car, it shows no visible rust and presents as a clean, solid example that has clearly been well cared for. Under the hood is a professionally built 400 Chevrolet small-block V8 bored .030 over, featuring a 350 HP 327 camshaft, Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, headers, HEI electronic ignition, and an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor. The engine starts easily, runs exceptionally strong, and delivers a deep, aggressive exhaust note that any true car enthusiast will appreciate. Power is transferred through a Tremec 6-speed manual transmission with a hydraulic clutch, providing smooth shifts and relaxed highway cruising. Out back is a narrowed Ford 9-inch rear axle sourced from a Lincoln with 3.90:1 gears, offering excellent durability and impressive acceleration. Driving has been upgraded with power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes, and rear drum brakes. The suspension features tubular upper and lower control arms, a rebuilt front suspension, and a four-link rear suspension with coil-over shock absorbers, resulting in outstanding handling and ride quality. Inside, the custom interior complements the classic exterior while adding comfort and style. The car sits on Cragar wheels wrapped in new tires, giving it an aggressive stance that perfectly matches its performance. This Bel Air is a fantastic driver’s classic with the power, sound, and road manners to be enjoyed on weekend cruises, car shows, or long road trips. If you’re looking for a Tri-Five Chevrolet that is more than just a showpiece, this one delivers an exciting driving experience every time you turn the key. Features & Upgrades: - Arizona car
