Description
This custom 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air is powered by a supercharged Chevrolet Performance 6.2-liter LSA V-8 engine rated at 525hp, paired with a Chevrolet Performance 6L80-E SuperMatic six-speed automatic transmission. It is built on a Roadster Shop REVO Stage III chassis with fully independent front and rear suspension and an AccuAir E-Level adjustable air-ride system. The drivetrain has accumulated approximately 500 miles since completion of the build. Stopping power is provided by Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes. The exterior is finished in a green and cream two-tone color scheme with brushed-metal-finish grille components, front and rear bumpers and exterior trim. The body was removed from the chassis during the restoration and refinished following extensive metal finishing and bodywork, resulting in laser-straight body lines. More than $120,000 was invested in the body and paint. The custom Saddle interior features bucket seats, a full-length center console incorporating a machined aluminum switch panel controlling the power windows, vents and interior LED lighting, a digital gauge cluster, an Ididit steering column, a custom steering wheel and an Alpine touchscreen multimedia system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Additional features include an AccuAir E-Level controller, custom trunk upholstery and extensive custom fabrication throughout the build. It rides on custom-painted Forgeline Rallye wheels measuring 18x8 in the front and 18x10 in the rear, wrapped in performance tires.
