Vehicle Description
What you're looking at is opportunity. This 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air
wagon is your chance to have one classic that can carry the family
and materials in one vintage vehicle. And since this wagon has been
upgraded with everything, including a slick custom exterior, a
comfy A/C interior, tricked out Ride Tech air ride suspension, and
plenty of power out of the original V8, this is the one classic
that your practical and passionate sides can agree on.
Turning grocery-getters into go-fact machines is an art. The best
way erase the suburban blues is by investing in a slick
presentation. This two-tone metallic teal and India Ivory takes
Chevy's period-correct colors and gives them a fantastic clearcoat
shine. But more than just color, the canvas has to be at its best,
so there was plenty invested in making the sheetmetal look great.
These super straight panels mean the full-length trim looks like an
uninterrupted line down the Bel Air's body. And custom touches like
the shaved door handles really make this a sleet station wagon.
Only adding to the mystique are the mirror-like chrome bumpers,
power bulge cowl hood, and a set of large 20-inch Coys alloys. And
if that wasn't impressive enough, you can watch people's jaws drop
as you drop the air ride suspension to the ground.
Inside, the exterior teal returns, and now it's joined by a
comfortable beige tweed. This is presented on all rows of seating,
including the reverse-facing third row. That's a great piece we
wish we could still get in wagons today, because after all, any
noisy kid is facing the other direction. But the seat that really
matters the most is the driver's seat. That's where you're in
control of all the upgrades like the AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input
and the cold R134a air conditioning. Your right hand fits perfectly
over Hurst shifter, the left one grabs the leather-wrapped
three-spoke steering wheel, and you gaze at the full AutoMeter
gauge package. These all tell your senses that there's something
special in the engine bay even before you twist the key and hear it
roar.
Under the hood is the original 283 cubic-inch V8, but you can also
tell there was a ton invested to get it looking clean and running
mean. The bold orange block radiates power, and we love the look of
all the polished components like the valve covers, air topper,
alternator, master cylinder, and so much more. But more than just
look award-worthy, you know this is a thoughtful build with
upgrades like the newer pulleys, and an aluminum radiator so you
can be in traffic with the A/C running. Plus, this V8 inhales
deeply with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and exhales with
authority out of the header-fed dual exhaust. Best of all, you are
in complete control of the V8 power and its rumbling soundtrack
thanks to the Borg Warner T10 four-speed manual transmission. Also,
take some time to look at the undercarriage photos. The clean
presentation here shows you that this custom build has traveled
less than 6,800 miles since completion, and all of those were done
carefully. Plus, you'll also spot the Ride Tech air ride suspension
with digital four corner control for optimum performance and
comfort. Add in rack & pinion power steering, four-wheel disc
brakes, and grippy modern ZR-rated tires, and you have a stellar
total driving package.
This is the perfect classic. After all, you'll convince everyone
that you bought a versatile family vehicle with plenty of cargo
space. But really it's the slick style, V8 power, and enhanced
suspension that sold you. Since you're not the only one who would
like to disguise a dream car as a practical classic, you should
hurry and call today!
