This genuine Bel Air had a body off frame custom pro street build!
It is pure class with high end fit and finish.
EXTERIOR: It has a look! The stance, colors, removed trim really
all comes together for an exceptional '56. The body work is
amazing, every square is straight. The gaps are precise, just let
go of the doors and they will click shut. They shaved the door
handles, trunk lock, hood ornament, antenna, hood, and trunk
emblems for a clean look. The doors and trunk now both open by
electric remote. The paint is like glass, very high quality. Rich
looking metallic vermilion and beige combination. The metal flake
is laid out evenly and the license plate was relocated to the Nomad
style bumper. Both bumpers are smooth one piece. All the chrome and
trim was restored or replaced. The stainless around the windows is
polished like chrome. The glass was replaced and has a mild tint.
All the rubber seals were replaced. It is sitting on staggered size
Boyd Coddington wheels, extra extra wide in back!
INTERIOR: High quality with rich colors and finishes. The seats are
custom upholstered in genuine leather and the front has a
comfortable armrest. The side panels were all custom made and
upholstered. Down on the floor is Mercedes style square loop carpet
and mats with leather bound edges. The metal trim is painted just
as slick as the exterior. The gauges are red digital including the
clock. All the chrome was replaced and along with some extra
chrome: heater box, kick panel vents, e-brake handle and more. The
tilt column is also chrome and has a beautiful custom wheel with a
color matched rim. For you comfort it features power windows and a
stereo system. The Locar floor shifter is a nice touch too.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The big block 454 was bored out to a 468 and
has a performance street build. It has a hot cam, polished aluminum
intake with a Sniper fuel injection system, a new MSD ignition and
coated headers. The engine compartment lives up to the quality of
the rest of the car. The bay is painted slick, firewall is
smoothed. I love the hard polished heater hoses! It features a
Concept One power steering and a polished Wilwood power brake
system. It runs cool with a polished aluminum water pump and
radiator with an electric fan. The Power Master alternator is
chrome. It's a very uncluttered, detailed, show quality engine
compartment.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Exceptional! Under the trunk lid and the jamb
are painted slick. Inside is boxed and upholstered to match the
interior. The floor has the same premium carpet. The custom painted
fuel tank and battery were relocated to the trunk. The gel battery
is secured with a billet bracket. Jumper leads and a disconnect
switch is located right under the car.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame, and it has a complete custom
chassis. The frame has a welded in center brace kit. Upfront it has
drop spindles, a swaybar, Shockwave adjustable air ride, rack &
pinion steering. Art Morrison Back halved rear structure to
accommodate the extra wide tires which includes a tubular 4 link
system, panhard bar and coilover adjustable gas shocks. The fat 3
inch exhaust with crossover pipe neatly find's it's way all the way
to the back of the car. New Wilwood brake system with drilled and
slotted disc at all four wheels. Looking up at the motor it has an
extra capacity oil pan, a high torque starter and chrome flywheel
cover. The transmission is a new TCI Street Fighter 700R4 overdrive
automatic with a lock out converter switch, remote oil cooler and a
chrome pan. A fat driveshaft goes through a safety loop then
connects to a narrowed 9 inch rear with aluminum center section and
posi gears. The floors are all solid metal.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you
the best cars within reason.
This is one of those that I became more impressed the closer I
looked. The fit and finishes are truly at a higher level than most.
It fast with class!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
