1956 CHEVROLET BEL-AIR 2 DOOR HARDTOP 60-65% COMPLETED PROJECT CAR

1956 Chevrolet Bel-Air 2 door hardtop project

I updated my timeline below, after I found a few receipts.

A complete intact original car was bought to rebuild in (2006 - incorrect) early 2009.Proceeded with the work for a couple of years and then the car got moved to inside storage, where it has been on idle for the last (nine or ten - incorrect) six or so years. I am getting too old to finish this project

Heater and related parts are restored and powder coated

Brake pedal, column support, wiper motor, door latches, window regulators, sun visors, etc. are all included.

Many interior items in powder coat ready for reassembly

Some items are not included, because they weren't worthy of restoration.

Front fenders, grill, parking lights, bumpers

The photos on eBay are from when the work on the car was active. It is now and has been in weatherproof storage so there is some dust and dirt accumulation. I am sure an hour with a power wash would restore the appearance of most to what is shown here.

I did pull the car and all the parts that will come with it from storage today, Oct 16. Cleaned everything and took more pics. I can email them a few at a time due to file size to interested parties. If that is to happen, I need the interested party's email. You would need to call me.

So you know, the car is also being advertised locally and will be removed from eBay, if and when a deal is reached with a local party.

Car comes with a clean Michigan title. Some additional pictures are available to an interested buyer.

Price is $17,000 firm Freeland, MI Bob cell 989-239-4245
