1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 4 Door Sedan 235 CI Straight Six Powerglide Automatic Transmission NO RESERVE!!! This car is in great running and driving condition. It is a pleasure to drive and just wants to cruise. It has plenty of power to keep up with traffic. It stops well with the drum brakes. Everything works on this car with the exception of the shift indicator in the dash, windshield washer and clock. This car is fully documented California car with some good options. I have book with many 50's, 60's, 70's and current receipts. The original manual and accessories is in this book. There is also the letter to the owner for buying the car. The paperwork in this car is unexpected and very nice to have. You can see where the new owner made notes about maintenance on the car. I have put a binder together with everything in it. Pretty cool. Engine and drive train I believe the engine is low miles. I upgrade the ignition to HEI and put a new carb on it. New wire, plugs, oil change, and all the fluids. It starts, idles and runs like new. The transmission shifts great and very smooth. OEM Starter and Generator. New battery cables and much more. Stock radiator with no leaks. Full coolant flush. All fluids changed front to back. Suspension and Steering It needed all the rubber replaced, idler arm, all the bushings, shocks. All this made it drive like is should. It's the little things no one wants to change that make it drive right. Receipts included. Tires Brand New Diamond Back Extra Wide Radials with no miles on them. Super nice tires from Toyo. Wheels OEM - Notice the original spare with Jack and instructions in the trunk. It even has the sticker on the tire. Very nice. Interior One small tear when you get in. Otherwise I think this is the original seat covers. The carpet may have been replaced but is in good condition. Headliner is good. All the gauges work with the exception of the clock. The shift indicator needs the cable reconnected. The wiper are electric and work well. New wiper blades. The washer needs repaired. The dash and everything else is awesome. Horn works. Someone put a retro radio in and some kick panel speakers. This was a radio delete car and the delete plate is in the glove box. The floor mats are new and matching color. Seat belts have been added for safety. Exterior It looks to have one re-spray and is in fairly good shape. It still shines but has some nicks and scratches. There is some areas on the passenger side down low where the paint is beginning to bubble. See photo. The only rust I can find on this car is where the paint is bubbling. There is also some minor surface rust under the OEM mat in the trunk. See photo. This cars seems to have all its original sheet metal. To make this show quality, you would need to fix the few small rust spots and put a show quality matched paint. I would just drive it as is. The chrome bumpers are in great shape, but the hood ornament and a few pieces are beginning to pit. The pieces that were cast and not steel. The stainless is complete and looks great. Exhaust Good condition front to back. OEM rear tail cover. Glass and Doors The vent windows and the rear glass are original EZ View. The side and front glass are Shat R Proof. It is all in good condition and all the window works well. The doors shut like a safe.
