"Amethyst Ghost"
• This vehicle is located at our Indianapolis facility - 2461 Reeves Rd #194, Plainfield, IN 46168 •
This 1956 Chevy Bel Air is a no-compromise, frame-off build that blends classic tri-five style with serious modern performance and comfort. At its heart is a 383 Blueprint V8 with less than 6,000 miles, delivering strong, reliable power backed by a built Turbo 400 automatic transmission. Gear selection is handled through a Hurst Quarter Stick pistol-grip shifter with an integrated line-lock button, giving this Bel Air a purposeful, muscle-ready feel. Cooling is handled by a Ron Davis radiator paired with a Vintage Air stainless steel coolant recovery tank, ensuring this car runs as cool as it looks.
Underneath, the chassis has been thoughtfully upgraded for confident road manners and braking. Rack-and-pinion steering, QA1 coil-overs, and Heidt's 2-inch drop spindles deliver a lowered stance with modern handling. Stopping power comes from front and rear disc brakes with Wilwood calipers, while the GM 12-bolt rear end with 3.83 gears puts the power down effectively. Mini-tubbed rear wheel wells allow for a wider, more aggressive tire setup, perfectly complemented by classic American Racing Torque Thrust wheels.
Inside, the Bel Air features a custom leather interior that balances hot-rod attitude with comfort and craftsmanship. VDO gauges, an Ididit tilt steering column, and a full American Autowire harness modernize the driving experience, while the SPAL shaved door kit, power windows, vent window delete, and power driver's seat clean up the look and add convenience. The exterior is finished in a striking Amethyst Pearl paint accented by subtle Ghost Flames, giving this '56 a custom presence that stands out without being overdone.
This Bel Air is the result of a complete, well-executed build—equal parts showpiece and driver—ready to be enjoyed, admired, and driven with confidence.
Price does not include applicable tax, title, license, processing, and/or $240 documentation fees.
