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:
   
 
  
  
 
- To complete your "tour" of this car, here are some pictures showing the interior of the 1956 Chevrolet:
  
  
- And finally, this 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 door Hard Top is not a $100,000 show car, but it is one of the nicest completely restored, rust free, clean 1956 Bel Air Hard Tops currently available on the auction market.
 
Check out the Cragar Rims (front 15x7 & rear 15x8) sporting brand new Grand Am X/T tires.
- 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!
Here is a collage of general interest views of the 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Two Door Hardtop. These pictures will allow you to see additional aspects of the Bel Air that will help you to understand that this Two Door Hardtop is a fun car to drive. If you drive this car to a car show, you more than likely will win a trophy.

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
