This restomod 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible, offered by New York's Motorcar Classics, features a rebuilt setup with a Chevrolet LT-1 Fuel Injected 350 V8 engine from a 1996 Impala SS mated to a Borg Warner five-speed manual transmission. The vehicle showcases an all-steel body from Woody's Hot Rodz with a striking Ford Tri-coat Ruby Red and Ice White paint job. It includes Foose alloy wheels, bespoke lighting, and a custom Black Cloth power convertible top.
