Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is excited to offer this stunning 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air for sale. This "Black Beauty" is a masterpiece that beautifully blends timeless design with modern performance and comfort. The car's captivating exterior, cloaked in a deep black urethane with clearcoat finish, seamlessly complements its black and red interior, creating a striking visual appeal. Further enhancing the visual appeal are the special LED-enhanced headlights, which can really provide a show when the outer ring of LEDs is turned on.

Under the hood, this classic is powered by a robust 5.7L LS1 V8 engine paired with a 4-speed automatic 4L60E transmission that sends the power out back to the 3.42:1-geared, Posi-Trac equipped 12-bolt rear end, providing a driving experience that's as thrilling as it is smooth. The potent LS1 features a WARR Performance 92MM throttle body, 92MM F.A.S.T. intake, and PRC (Performance Rod and Custom) aluminum heads. Coated headers scavenge the exhaust into the true dual system, which features stainless mufflers and electric cutouts for when you want your neighbors to know you're heading out to rumble. The massive custom aluminum radiator and custom A/C condenser are courtesy of PRC, and they look fabulous in addition to doing their job superbly. Twin electric fans further aid the cooling and sap zero horsepower.

Inside, the Bel Air is transformed with custom black leather seating featuring eye-catching red inserts, offering both luxury and style. The custom center console is equipped with convenient cupholders, emphasizing functionality without sacrificing aesthetics. Drivers will appreciate the full complement of AutoMeter gauges, ensuring all essential information is clearly displayed, and the chromed tilt steering column paired with a leather-wrapped billet aluminum steering wheel adds to the refined interior experience.

This Chevrolet Bel Air is not just about looks; it has been engineered for performance. It boasts a custom front suspension with tubular control arms and adjustable coilover shocks, along with a custom adjustable multilink rear suspension, also featuring coilover shocks. Performance braking is assured with a Wilwood high-pressure master cylinder, proportioning valve, and 6-piston Wilwood calipers gripping slotted and drilled rotors at all four corners, ensuring confident stops.

For those who seek a superior audio experience, the AM/FM/CD radio has been enhanced by a Massive Audio Blade BP800.4 amplifier driving Massive Audio Triaxial speakers strategically placed in the parcel shelf. Hankook low-profile performance radial tires wrapped around custom American Racing Torq Thrust aluminum wheels ensure grip and aesthetic appeal.

Convenience features are abundant, including power locks with remote door poppers, power steering, and power windows. The glass (except the windshield) is real smoked glass, offering both comfort and a more stylish look. The driver's seat is 6-way power adjustable, ensuring an optimal driving position. Finally, the air conditioning system ensures a pleasant cabin environment, making every journey as enjoyable as the last.

This 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air is a testament to the art of classic car restoration, offering vintage beauty with contemporary enhancements, making it a great choice for enthusiasts who appreciate both heritage and modernity in their vehicles.
