1956 Chevrolet Bel Air
If you went to the Chevy dealer in 1956 and filled out an order form, you could create a nice little factory street rod. Back then, the optional “PowerPack” performance engine was the Corvette-inspired 265ci small-block with 2x4-barrel carburetors (only a few sedans were granted this setup in '56 – one for Harley Earl). Mated with a 3-speed manual transmission, you had the performance machine of the day.

1956 Chevrolet Bel Air
If you went to the Chevy dealer in 1956 and filled out an order form, you could create a nice little factory street rod. Back then, the optional “PowerPack” performance engine was the Corvette-inspired 265ci small-block with 2×4-barrel carburetors (only a few sedans were granted this setup in ’56 – one for Harley Earl). Mated with a 3-speed manual transmission, you had the performance machine of the day.
That was then – our ’56 Chevy is now. This beautiful, fully restored Bel Air 2-door post is a serious street rod. The restoration was basically completed in 2012 and the owners have furnished a comprehensive package of information/receipts relating to the resto process. The car is currently registered in North Carolina, but based on historical receipts the Bel Air spent most of its life in dry Arizona. A very solid body was carefully prepped and refinished in single stage Flame Red and Tuxedo Black. Most chrome pieces have been replaced and period correct 15” Cragar S/S wheels (7”f/10”r width) mount Delinte radials and accent a subtle ‘rake’ from 2” drop front spindles – also period correct for 1956. The Black/Red interior is outstanding. Seat upholstery is diamond-tufted vinyl and the bucket seats flank a full custom console. The dash was carefully redesigned to hold a complete set of Classic Instruments digital gauges and there is a leather-wrapped tilt alloy wheel with IDIDIT column wiring harness. The window glass is tinted, a new windshield has been installed and the Vintage Air A/C system includes new Vintage dash controls.
As stated earlier, the ‘now’ performance of this ’56 is serious. A built 383ci ‘stroker’ motor resides under the hood. The stroker is fuel injected and controlled by a FAST Sportsman XFI Engine Management System that includes FAST distributor/ignition/coil and ECU w/dash control panel. A hydraulic CompCam with .550”/.546” lift / 253/264 duration was fitted and a pair of LTS ‘block-hugger’ headers exit to a custom stainless exhaust. All this is backed by a 5-speed Tremec TKO-600 manual gearbox w/Hurst Comp+ shifter that transfers torque to a Ford 8.8” positraction differential with 3.27:1 gears. The clean chassis is equipped with power rack/pinion steering, front sway bar and 4-wheel power disc brakes w/dual master cylinder. If you want ‘the rare’ Tri-Five model, come take a ride in this ’56 Chevy Bel Air – you just may take it home!
