1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 4-Door Hardtop Sport Coupe for Sale

There was never any rust on the body or undercarriage.

The undercarriage has the factory red oxidestill showing which you can see from the photos. The brake lines, fuel lines, and gas tankwere replaced, as were the radiator and water pump. The power steering valve and power brakebooster were rebuilt. The exhaust systemis stainless steel, and

it has Coker radial tires. All four doors close with a slight push, as when it wasnew. The car has its original keys withone key fitting all locks. All originaldate coded glass is in excellent condition with no cracks. The paint is original except for fenders and hood which Iwas told were repainted early after purchase by the selling dealer.

Why? No one seemed to know. The radio works and there is an AM/FM tape player in theglove box. The interior including carpeting is original. The door panels were replaced. This ‘56 starts and runs and drives down the roadperfectly. Looking at the enginecompartment photos, this engine compartment would not be impressive in arestored car. But on an

unrestored car, it is perfect. In the 1950s and 1960s, car owners very often would wash their engines. Factory engine paint, not being the best, would often flake off.

If this engine were repainted, I wouldn'tconsider it as an unrestored car.
