Any time you come across a barn find for sale, you will always be filled with excitement. Barn finds uncover machines that have potentially not run for decades, and it's always interesting to see what condition these cars are in. Occasionally, these cars will pop up for sale on auction sites, such as eBay. This is one of those cars. This 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air with a 210 Delray V8 is a hot rod that has been sitting in a barn since the late 1980s.

The Bel Air Has Currently Not Met Its Reserve

At the time of writing, the car stands at $3,550 with 14 bids but the reserve has not been met. A buy-it-now price of $6,100 indicates the price the owner of the car is looking at selling the car for. The seller states this is part of a house clean, with various car and truck projects for sale. Stated as being “a lot better can than it first appears,” it has been sat in a “real barn” since the late 1980s the car will crank and run. Powered by a ‘65 327 motor, it sounds strong and good and has a mild cam.

The Seller States That The Body Is Still Strong And Sturdy

The seller also states that the car has heads and a full dual exhaust. The gas tank is believed to be okay, but the owner didn’t want to change it so it is being run off a bottle under the hood. The body is described as straight and solid for the most part with just a lot of surface rust or patina present. The hood and trunk lid are described as being in great shape and the doors open and shut nice and easy. So far, despite its appearances, it looks solid.

All Sounds Good Despite The Images Of The Car

The roof is also described as being good with no “drive-in” dents present and no roof rust either. The floors have also been patched with the original floors still under that patchwork. Perhaps most surprising is that the original dash is all complete and it has the Bel Air trim and the seller says they have a Bel Air radio delete plate too. The car is being sold with a notarized bill of sale and the seller says, in big and bold red lettering, to remember this car is 65 years old!
