| Description: clean professional build. 350 with 700r4 overdrive, 4-wheel disc brakes, a/c, cd stereo, gorgeous interior. Fully sorted and ready to run. We'll admit that the cream-over-orange paint job is a love-it-or-hate-it proposition, but we do ask that you give it a chance before making a decision, because it looks fantastic in person. The cream areas are non-metallic, so it looks straight out of the 1956 Chevrolet color charts, but the orange areas offer a bit of metallic and a hint of pearl, so they simply glow when the sunlight hits the car just right. The bodywork is extremely well done with super-straight sheetmetal that reflects beautifully and a deep shine that only comes from two-stage urethane paint that's been given a color sand and buff to really sparkle. All of the original trim was retained to give it a classic look and if you want to stand out, using the 210 trim instead of the upscale bel air look will certainly do it. That's the original chevy front seat, now wrapped in lovely two-tone suede and glove-soft ultraleather, and with period-looking stitching it doesn't seem out of place in the 1956's interior. Matching door panels mirror the factory design but use the modern materials for a consistent look, and reproduction carpets offer an oem texture. The original instrument panel has been supplanted with a custom insert from classic instruments, and includes all the engine's vitals in a trick white-faced format. There's also a new billet trim panel stretching across the center of the dash to brighten things up. You may also note the discreetly mounted a/c vents under the dash, which are controlled by a vintage air system whose control panel is down low and mostly out of sight. And hidden inside the center glove box, you'll not only find an am/fm/cd/ipod stereo system but also additional a/c vents that help keep the interior comfortable all summer. The spacious trunk is likewise beautifully upholstered in matching materials, with removable interior panels that hide the battery and stereo equipment. You want reliability, well, it's hard to beat a small block chevy v8, in this case a 350 cubic inch unit rebuilt by the pros at performance engineering and ready to rumble. There's nothing radical here, but thanks to a weiand intake and new demon 4-barrel carburetor, it starts easily, idles smoothly even when cold, and feels powerful around town. A lot of polished aluminum dress-up, including the serpentine belt driven accessories and a billet air cleaner make it sparkle, and you can tell that a lot of time was invested in the inner fenders and firewall to make it look neat. With just over 17,000 miles on the build, it does show a few signs of use that would be easy enough to erase if you want to start earning trophies, but as it sits, it's a nicely maintained cruiser that will run all day at modern highway speeds without complaint. Part of that cruising ability comes from a recently installed 700r4 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission, which snaps down a gear or two for great acceleration but offers a tall overdrive gear that just loafs along at highway speeds. There's a brand new driveshaft feed a ford 8-inch rear end with 3.73 gears inside, so it's punchy around town. Long-tube headers feed a custom flowmaster exhaust system that sounds fantastic and uses polished tips under the rear bumper for effect. Staggered boyd coddington wheels make a dramatic statement and carry fresh 225/40/18 front and 255/35/20 rear hankook performance radials. This car would be impossible to duplicate for the asking price and in return you get a fully sorted runner with rock star looks and a sumptuous interior. Sure, there are plenty of them that are cheaper, but compare the interior, the hardware, and the finish quality, and you'll quickly figure out that you really do get what you pay for in tri-five Chevrolets.
