1962 Chevrolet Bel Air Wagon - West Coast Wagon - Two Tone Paint -
350 V8 with 4 Speed Manual - Air Conditioning - Air Ride Suspension
- 4 Wheel Disc Brakes - Clean Resto Mod Long Roof This is just one
of many amazing resto-mods we have availble here at Garage Kept
Motors. This 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air is tastefully modified and
fully functional as a great cruiser, as well as ready to show at
your local cruise in or show as it is just a remarkable build. This
wagon project started out as a rust-free vehicle from the Pacific
Northwest. The two-tone teal and green paint was carefully applied
over well executed body work. A cowl induction hood was fabricated
into the factory steel hood and the outside door handles have been
shaved and smoothed to give this wagon a clean look. The paint was
then polished to a deep luster. Bumper chrome and related body
stainless trim have been either re-chromed or restored. There are
few small blemishes and chips here and there that are expected of a
car that has been driven but well cared for and it truly shows
well. The underbody and chassis are clean, and there appear to be
no indications of any rust or collision repair. The chassis was
completely disassembled and detailed when the vehicle was being
painted and reassembled. It still presents well but with some
typical wear from having being driven. The suspension has been
upgraded with air ride suspension with the air tank and compressor
skillfully installed and hidden in the rear compartment. Four-wheel
power disc brakes have been added, and the brake lines and
emergency brake cables were replaced. The steering has been
upgraded to a power assisted rack and pinion set-up. The
professionally fabricated exhaust system features an H-pipe with
Flowmaster mufflers, and the tailpipes exit in front of the rear
wheels NASCAR style. This combination rolls on custom 20 diameter
Corvette Rallye wheels with factory center caps wrapped in low
profile radial tires. The cabin has been aesthetically upgraded as
well with many custom accoutrements. The door panels feature custom
tuck and roll style vinyl upholstery that incorporates custom door
speakers. The seats have been custom upholstered to a matching
pattern and colors to the doors in similar grey and white vinyl
material. Hard metal trim is color matched to the exterior body
colors. The rear compartment continues the design theme with
sub-woofer speakers incorporated into the side panels that also
house and hide the stereo amplifiers. A full set of AutoMeter
gauges have been skillfully fabricated into the dash along with a
custom mount for the Alpine AM/FM/CD/AUX stereo and air ride
controls. The custom climate control features A/C and heat with the
outlets built into the floor and under the dash. An OEM SS vintage
factory console sits between the seat framing the 4-speed Hurst
shifter. A foam wrapped 3 spoke billet steering wheel caps the tilt
steering column with billet levers. Under the hood presents as
clean and well detailed. The 350 small block presents as stock with
era correct for this car front oil fill manifold topped by a Carter
4-barrel carburetor that has been updated with an electric choke.
The ignition is a stock points style unit upgraded with electronic
ignition and the burned air/fuel mixture is passed through a set
exhaust headers. Keeping this engine cooled on a warm day is an
aluminum radiator with custom electric fan shroud. Chrome valve
covers and a chrome Edelbrock air cleaner with reusable filter,
aluminum thermostat housing, chrome air alternator and billet
pulleys add some show bling to this well-maintained engine
compartment. The power is transferred back through a 4-speed
transmission to a 10-bolt rear differential. This wagon shows very
well and is amazing to drive. These wagons were originally built so
families could load up and hit the interstate highways and See the
USA in their Chevrolet. The upgrades made to this resto-mod wagon
