Rarely can you get your hands on a Tri-Five Chevy for such a value price. But with its enhanced V8, loaded A/C interior, and terrific shine, this 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air's appeal goes much further than affordability.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 metallic teal shows a large investment in a professional application and modern clearcoat. The white 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 15-inch American Racing wheels that give an extra hint of aggression.One look inside and you're instantly reminded of the large investment in this custom build. The front buckets are a new modern instillation that takes advantage of everything from added leg bolstering 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. You see it in everything from the AM/FM/cassette with modern digital tuner to the power adjustable seats. But our favorite upgrades are the power windows and the ice-cold R134a air conditioning. That way you don't have to leave the driver's seat to show off the great pillarless hardtop profile, and you can stay cool while looking cool. But more than just looking great, this classic Chevy has a great performance atmosphere. You feel it the moment you grab the B&M shifter with your right hand and the Lecarra sports steering wheel with your left one. Beyond that is a full set of digital gauges that give you 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 air grabber, alternator, compressor, bow tie valve covers, 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 a Holley four-barrel carburetor and GM performance intake. While the dual exhaust gives a nice growl, this one also has sensible pieces like the tidy belts & hoses and the upgraded fan package. Powerful and prudent is a great combination to have, and that extends to this Bel Air's road manners. Power steering, front disc brakes, and a sway bar in the rear all give this an all-around terrific driving experience. Plus, the four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive and cruise control means this classic is ready for the long haul.With less than 2,500 miles since this custom coupe was created, and even some original literature that comes with the sale, your dream Bel Air is available today. So if you like to actually drive your classics, this is an opportunity you don't want to have pass you by. Call today!!!
