Vehicle Description

BODY OVERVIEW:
This Bel Air showcases the iconic lines of Chevrolet’s early ‘60s design with remarkable originality. The body is straight, solid, and well-preserved, a result only seen in a car that’s been cherished for over 60 years. Whether parked or in motion, it commands attention and admiration! Even the underside is in great original condition.Â
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
Having received a repaint at some point in its lifetime, the paint shines beautifully while retaining that period-correct charm. Minor imperfections here and there reflect its authenticity, but the overall presentation is stunning. This is the kind of finish that tells the story of its life while looking great at every angle!
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The cabin is a step back in time. The interior is believed to be original, and with that in mind it is in truly remarkable condition! From the upholstery to the dash and headliner, everything reflects the craftsmanship of the early 1960s. While some minor wear is evident, it adds to the character and appeal of this survivor. This is a cabin that feels as genuine as it gets!
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Under the hood, the 235ci inline 6-cylinder engine is a testament to Chevrolet’s engineering durability. This car fires up on the first half-crank, idles as smooth as a sewing machine, and cruises effortlessly. Paired with the two-speed automatic transmission, it offers a nostalgic driving experience. Buyers should note the manual drum brakes might benefit from adjustment or upgrading for improved stopping power.
