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:

- 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!

Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.

The current Chevy Equinox debuted over five years ago, in late 2009. Since then, the midsize crossover segment has become increasingly important, with brand-new entries meeting substantially overhauled versions of existing nameplates. But the Equinox carried on, largely unchanged. And while Chevy is using its Chicago Auto Show stage to debut the freshened, 2016 Equinox, it appears there isn't a whole lot to talk about. Take a look at the updated Equinox's exterior and you're pretty much going to see all that's new for 2016. Sure, the Chevy still boasts a handsome, inoffensive design, and it's now upgraded with things like LED running lamps on top-level trims, as well as new 17- and 18-inch wheel designs, projector beam headlamps, and revised taillamp styling. Moving inside, Chevy has added a standard seven-inch color touchscreen to all models, which includes a backup camera. New-to-Equinox safety features like side cross traffic alert and side blind zone alert are also available for 2016. And really, that's about it. Powertrain options carry over from last year. On the base end, there's a 2.4-liter inline-four that's good for up to 32 miles per gallon on the highway (with front-wheel drive). Buyers can also opt for a 301-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 that allows the Equinox to tow up to 3,500 pounds. Will this be enough to keep the Equinox fresh in its highly competitive class? In 2014, the Equinox did outsell lower-volume competitors like the Mazda CX-5 and Subaru Forester, but was bested by fresher offerings like the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, and Toyota RAV4. Have a look at all there is to know about the 2016 Equinox in the press blast below. We'll have live images and more impressions direct from the Chicago show floor, soon. Fresh Face: Chevrolet Introduces Restyled 2016 Equinox Premium cues, new safety features enhance Chevy's record-selling compact SUV CHICAGO – Chevrolet today introduced the 2016 Equinox – a contemporized version of the popular compact SUV. Updates include new styling with premium accents, new wheel designs and new available safety features, as well as a larger color touchscreen radio and a standard rear-vision camera for entry-level models.

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
