This striking 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air presents itself as a beautifully restored example of one of America’s most iconic classics. Finished in its factory-correct India Ivory over Matador Red, every color and trim detail matches the original codes, giving the car an authentic period look that immediately captures attention.
Under the hood, this Bel Air blends vintage style with modern performance. It’s powered by a strong 290-horsepower 2005 GM 350 crate engine, rebuilt and currently showing approximately 11,000 miles since completion. An Edelbrock zinc-coated 4-barrel carburetor and aluminum Edelbrock Performer intake help the small-block breathe efficiently, while a GM automatic overdrive drivetrain adds smooth, dependable cruising capability.
The car underwent a full frame-off professional restoration in 2007, and its quality is evident in every detail, from the aluminum dual exhaust system to the upgraded AM/FM cassette audio setup. It also passed a comprehensive NSRA 23-point safety inspection on August 17, 2015. Later that year, the car received an appraisal score of .94721407, classifying it as a “95-point” car.
With its timeless two-tone finish, enhanced performance features, and careful restorative history, this 1956 Bel Air stands as a turn-key classic ready for show, cruise, or collection.
