Over $300,000 invested into this one-off custom Bel-Air and is
absolutely jaw-dropping from every angle. Winning many awards from
the Good Guys Columbus Builders Choice award to the NSRA Louisville
Top 25 Pro Pick, this 1956 is well deserving candidate for all the
attention it receives. As you approach it from a distance, it looks
like just a very well done 1956 Bel-Air. However, as you get closer
the subtle modifications start to jump out at you. The grill was
kicked out for a more stream-lined look, hood humps from a '57
Chevrolet were used to make the hood cowl, Porsche headlight lenses
set back 1", custom one-piece stainless roof moldings, removed vent
windows from doors, and custom rear bumper notched for the twin
exhaust are just a few of the cool and unique twists to this
elegant Bel-Air. If you have the privilege of getting the chance to
touch it, open the door using the slim Jaguar door handles and
slide into the completely custom interior done by Paul Atkins using
only the highest quality of materials. As you look out over the
smoothed-out dash, you will be amazed at how clean and simple
everything was kept in this build. Even the radio was hidden behind
a door to keep any clutter out of sight. Despite the clean
appearances, this car is fully functional and is a treat to drive!
The 5.7L LS1 sitting under the hood comes to life with ease and a
low rumble projects out the back. Slide it down into drive and the
4L60E automatic transmission does the work from there! The 350
horsepower is plenty to get this moving in a hurry and the Wilwood
disc brakes bring it back to zero just as quick. As you arrive at
your destination, get out, and look back at your ride; it is hard
not to stop and stare. The ride height was dialed in to perfection
and sits nicely on the Billet Specialty wheels. There were no
corners cut on this build and is the ultimate choice for someone
looking at a car that can be shown or enjoyed. No matter what the
use may be, this car is a show stopper anywhere it goes! This
vehicle is located in our Denver showroom. You can view this 1956
