1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Base 3.8L. Wonderfull Driver. Older restoration.

Located. after having been stored and not driven for a number of years. this fun and lovely Bel Air Sedan was a great candidate to resuscitate. Representing an older restoration. it required some new items to which I installed new carpeting. tires. serviced the engine. suspension and driveline with new spark plugs. air filter. oil and filter (semi-synthetic 10/30 Valvoline). transmission oil. fuel system flush with new filter. differential oil replacement. brake inspection and adjustment with brake fluid flush. cooling system flush with new and correct green anti-freeze. and all followed by a professional cleaning. buffing. waxing and detailing. Chevrolet's indestructible 235 cubic inch "Inline" six cylinder engine. coupled to a Powerglide transmission. the Bel Air runs very nicely with no unusual noises or smoke. Do not expect "neck breaking" acceleration with this suite. however the Bel Air cruises quite nicely. Finished in what appears to be a two stage process of Nassau Blue and India Ivory. its a beautiful and certainly classic look for the car. however the refinishing was not done to high classic car standards. but more concisely was given a average refinishing. After some close examination. a wet sand and buff would make a terrific difference. Minor chips appear randomly. however can be easily touched up. The Bel Air's interior. reminiscent of the 1960's hot rod style is in nice condition. with some trim welting working loose in a few areas. Seats and headliner are very nice. with the exception of one small seam separation on the top drivers bench. The carpet is brand new. and was professionally installed. Glass is fine with some evidence to the right passengers windows having sustained some minor sandblasting damage prior to the car being refinished. All the lights. speedometer. wipers and controls work normally. with the exception of the clock. adio. and a intermittant fuel gauge. Chrome. and stainless trim. overall is average. the front and rear bumpers illustrating re-plating as some point. Chassis and body mounts are solid as is the frame and suspension. There is evidence of repair to the bottoms of a couple of doors. however they are in very solid condition. and still show nicely. In conclusion. for a 59 year old vehicle. the Bel Air presents itself very nicely as a driver quality vehicle. Its not concourse. but a very respectable survivor. and. without question. fun to be in. I highly recommend personal inspection and test drive prior to purchase. and will not allow such as a condition of sale after auction end. The Bel Air will be sold as is. where is. with no warranty expressed or implied. Furthermore. it is possible. and I reserve the right to do so. I may end the auction early. given the Bel Air is for sale locally.
