1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 Door Hardtop Barn Find No Reserve

1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 door HardtopOriginal V8sports coupe with auto transmission
This car belonged to a car hoarder I know in Southern California. He has about 12 more of these cars. He bought them in the 60's when he was in high school and parked them covered in his dirt lot. The lot is in the process of being sold and he has been selling cars over the last few years so that they may be restored and put back on the road. I bought this one from him, is only Bel Air hardtop, ast year in the hopes of restoring it myself, ut plans have changed.
This car was hit in the passenger door in 1968, nd he bought it for 100.00. He brought the car to the yard, nd that is where I found it, 6 years later. I included a picture in the pictures below of how I found it.
We established that it was better to replace the door skin, ather than repair the original one, o I bought the highest quality one that Danchuk sells and had it professionally installed. The seller had "borrowed" the original front passenger fender for another car sometime in the seventies, ut provided a different Bel Air fender for me.This fender has a small amount of rot on the bottom, ut I am supplying a Danchuk patch panel. I have an original rear bumper for the car, ut no front bumper.
The rest of the car, loor boards, runk, nner trunk lip, ll of it is basically rust free. The only thing I could find are little pin holes above the rear quarter glass. Those pictures are included. The trim tag was missing when the hoarder bought it, o thereisn't one.
The car is sold on a bill of sale, nd is no longer in the DMV system here in California.
Feel free to ask any questions, nd I will be happy to supply you more pictures.

Someone asked about the VIN tag location. Most models in 1956 had the VIN tag on the A pillar, ith exception of the Nomads, and 4 door sport coupes( also known as hard tops) and the convertibles. Those all had the VIN tag down by the door hinges. The VIN tag isoriginal, ith original welds, nd is in the correct location. The car sits on its original frame.
