Details

This 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air is built to go as well as show with proven hardware combined with enhanced technology. Fully restored, the Bel Air received a thorough nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration and is powered by a 502ci Ram Jet big-block Chevrolet V8 engine. Topped with a simple air cleaner and a chromed GM Performance Parts intake, the V8 features Street & Performance fuel injection, lightweight aluminum heads and chromed Chevrolet valve covers with billet breathers. Additionally, the engine has loomed Taylor wires, a March Ultra Drive system, polished Edelbrock water pump, polished alternator and a polished air conditioning compressor. Cooling is through an aluminum radiator with two SPAL puller fans and a polished expansion tank. Spent gasses exit via coated long-tube headers and a polished stainless exhaust with Borla ProXS mufflers. The engine bay has been smoothed and finished to mirror the bodywork and sports chromed hinges as well as a custom closeout panel. The Bel Air rides on an Art Morrison GT Sport chassis painted in Metallic Silver. For suspension, the Chevy has polished spindles, polished control arms, polished sway bars and adjustable Aldan coilovers. A TREMEC TKO 600 5-speed transmission sits on a polished crossmember and spins a polished aluminum driveshaft as well as a smoothed and painted Ford 9-inch rear end that's built with a posi-traction differential and sporty 3.70 gears. The Bel Air has power rack & pinion steering and features a set of Wilwood brake calipers clamping down on drilled and slotted rotors. Additional features include a mirrored stainless fuel tank and 245/40ZR18 BFGoodrich g-Force T/As in the front and 275/35ZR20 BFGoodrich g-Force T/As in the rear.
