Here is a short history of this fantastic car:

The car featured in this auction is a 1956 Chevrolet Belair 2 dr Hardtop. This 1956 Bel Air was orginally painted aqua/white and had a 265 cu.in. engine with a 3 speed transmission. The car now has a 327 cubic inch engine with a 4 speed Muncie close ratio transmission.

The actual year of the 327 cubic inch block is unknown as the current owner had the engine stored for several years. The 327 cubic inch engine was only produced for eight years (1962-69) but since the engine in this car has a four inch bore and the vent tube is located behind the distributor, this is consistent with an early 327 cubic inch engines. Additionally, the crank shaft that came with the block is 327 STEEL FORGED CRANK, not a cast crank. Perhaps from a Corvette?

When the engine was rebuilt, it was bored .040 over and the crank main and rod journals were polished .010 under. Before the machine shop that rebuilt the engine put it back together the engine was balanced.

in 2009, the upper end of the engine was reconfigured using an Edelbrock 2009 upper end package that resulted in the engine found in this 1956 Bel Air Hard Top. Here is a picture of the Edelbrock package that was used.

Included in this high performance package was an Edelbrock Rollin' Thunder Hydraulic roller cam and Edelbrock RPM Performance heads:

In addition to the Edelbrock Rollin' Thunder cam and the Edelbrock aluminum heads mentioned above, the engine sports an Edelbrock intake manifold upon which sits a new Holly 780 cfm carburator. The installation of the high performance kit now rates the engine in this 1956 Bel Air 2 door Hardtop at 435 hp.

When the engine is running, the exhaust is expelled through Sanderson Shorty Headers, going through a 2 1/2 inch exhaust system that is attached to Flowmaster mufflers.

Since the final rebuild, the car has been rarely driven so the 327 cubic inch engine has only 1000 to 2000 miles on it. .

Power from the 4 speed Muncie transmission is sent to a rebuilt stock 3:55 posi-traction rear end that was rebuilt by a friend. The transmission has no issues and it works very well with the Hurst shifter.

MODIFICATIONS AND UPGRADES
As mentioned earlier, approximately 10 years ago the car was given a frame off restoration with all work being completed by the owner . The frame off restoration took two years to complete. Everything on the car is new except for the clock, the rear springs and some of the stainless. However, most of the stainless was polished and buffed by the owner.

The frame off restoration showed that he car had some small rust areas but after the body was sand blasted the areas of rust were patched with sheet metal and today, there is absolutely no rust in this vehicle.

The current paint job is just like the original paint job and it consists of a basecoat clear coat of Aqua with pearl and solid white. The Aqua turns blue or green at different angles in the sunlight. When the car was reassembled, there were approximately 4 small paint chips on the body, but they have been touched up.

Additional Resto-modifications include 2 in dropped spindles with front disc brakes,

power steering, additional temperature and heat gauges located below the beautiful dash and a Sun tachometer to aid in correctly shifting the Muncie four speed transmission.
Because the car was driven rarely after completion, due to loose brake line fittings that were not properly tightened when installed, brake fluid leaked onto 2 areas of the frame and bubbled the paint. This has been touched up and with black paint and the problem areas look good. Here is a collage of pictures of the underside of the car so that you can see how clean it is:
To complete your "tour" of this car, here are some pictures showing the interior of the 1956 Chevrolet:
And finally, this 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 door Hard Top is not a $100,000 show car, but it is one of the nicest completely restored, rust free, clean 1956 Bel Air Hard Tops currently available on the auction market.

Check out the Cragar Rims (front 15x7 & rear 15x8) sporting brand new Grand Am X/T tires.
A question you are probably all asking is does this 1956 Bel Air have air conditioning? The answer is NO, but it does have a brand new Griffin Cross Flow radiator that is set up for an air conditioning system. If you want a project so that you can call this car your own, you just need to put in an A/C compressor and a "few other items" and attach it to the Griffin radiator. Other wise, when you drive this car down the road, you will have to use the car's "4-55" air conditioning system - four windows open at 55 miles per hour!

Here is a collage of general interest views of the 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Two Door Hardtop. These pictures will allow you to see additional aspects of the Bel Air that will help you to understand that this Two Door Hardtop is a fun car to drive. If you drive this car to a car show, you more than likely will win a trophy.

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes

Tue, 28 Aug 2012

Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
