1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 4 Door Sedan - 76k Original Miles on 2040-cars
Madison, Alabama, United States
|
1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 4 door sedan, 3 owner car, bought new
in Huntsville, AL, 76K original miles.
This car is still equipped with its original power pack 4 barrel engine,
power glide transmission, and AM radio.
This car has been in dry storage since 1983.
I got the car a few years ago. It needed some TLC, after having sat for a couple of decades. I pulled the engine and transmission out to replace rusty freeze plugs, cleaned out the water jackets, replace broken transmission mounts. I also installed an aftermarket aluminum radiator and rebuilt the brake system hydraulics. The carburetor had been rebuilt in its past, so engine just needed a tune up, and clean gas to start up, which I did. The engine purrs just like it should. The power glide leaks badly but works fine. Transmission needs to be resealed, it shifts just fine. Car has a new aluminum radiator, new battery, new brake
master cylinder, new gas tank, and new rear brake shoes (still in the box) that
come with the car. The car now has four black 15 x 6 steel wheels and tires with 1500 miles on them. See the picture of the black wheel with the Kumho tires; these are on all four corners now. Car has three small rust areas. Small holes in the driver's side floor board, a small section of the right rear trunk floor, and the trunk pan area. Front and rear bumpers are present, but stored in the attic. No significant rust or dents on the bumpers. Car was partially disassembled in preparation for paint, but never got painted. I believe all of the trim is with the car, but the mounting clips, etc. may be missing. This car needs a good home. I will not separate parts from the car. Serious inquiries only. Car can be driven onto a car trailer, etc but is NOT legal or safe to drive on the street as is. I did, however, drive it up to 50 mph last weekend. I have an Alabama registration in my name and buyer will get a notarized bill of sale. Alabama does not title cars this old. The registration and bill of sale is sufficient to get buyer a title in states that issue titles for 1956 vintage cars. This is a great father – son project, a weekend tinker project, or a full blown restoration project. You could continue the disassembly for a complete restoration, or spend a weekend putting the car back together and drive it as is. I am reluctantly selling this car for health reasons. I might be interested in a trade for US coins, US WWII vintage military decorations, or a small truck (like an S-10) of equal value. I do not want a project truck, I am getting rid of my projects. Let me know what you have; the worst that can happen is that I will say no.
Buyer is responsible for all shipping charges. I will assist as needed. |

Sunday Drive: A tale of old favorites and upcoming challengers
Sun, Oct 8 2017Sedans and crossovers dominated the attention of our readers last week, led by the completely redesigned 2018 Honda Accord. It's the Japanese automaker's flagship, and people are seriously interested in finding out how good the latest Accord is. So interested, in fact, that no other single story came close to the brand-new Accord in Autoblog reader interest. Moving down the list we find the equally new 2018 Buick Enclave. The three-row crossover has a lot to offer a family, especially one looking for a nice, quiet ride. If you're looking for the exact opposite of nice and quiet, but still want enough room for you and your significant others, the Subaru WRX that we tested last week may be the perfect ride for you. Or, if you just want to drive fast and aren't at all worried about space, there's the Camaro SS. See? We offer something for everybody. From there, we look to the future. Who isn't interested in seeing the first fully electric vehicle from Porsche? And who isn't intrigued to see the Mission E testing alongside a gaggle of Teslas? A brand-new Jeep is always a big deal, especially when it's the revival of a classic nameplate like the Grand Wagoneer. And finally, we have something completely different: the Rezvani Tank. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Honda Accord First Drive | Feels like home again 2018 Buick Enclave First Drive Review | Fortress of quietude 2018 Subaru WRX Drivers' Notes | Turbo traditionalist 2018 Chevy Camaro SS Drivers' Notes | Demonstrative power, middling interior Porsche Mission E caught testing against Teslas Jeep three-row SUV caught on public roads — Grand Wagoneer, perhaps?

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
