Vehicle Description
This is a quality classic with a bit of sleeper attitude. After
all, this 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air has a great-looking dual-quad V8,
four-on-the-floor, and plenty of exhaust growl whenever you want
it.
This is the car that defined a generation. The '62 not only told
the world the tailfin was dead, but it also signaled that angular
style was the new direction. There's even a terrific crease in the
profile that looks like an arrow always pointing the car forward.
So it already has some forward-thinking speedy style. Plus, the
push-bar mount in front, faux hood pins, and competition-style
American Racing Torq Thrust wheels add to the performance look. But
all of it is relatively subtle, because you can see they also made
an investment in a quality classic all around. The Ermine White
paint has a nice shine from a proper investment, the panels line up
nicely, and the doors close with authority. And the details are
crisp, right down to the gold rings at the base of each
taillight.
A red interior always looks great against white, but this one is a
cut-above. You have nice carpeting, a clean dash, and even the
original AM radio is still on display. Plus, the seating looks
terrific with a bold red with textured cloth inserts on both rows.
The details are even great, like how the tri-color insignia trim on
the seat back matches the door panels. And while this looks cool,
you also know it's a great driver machine. The dual spoke steering
wheel gives you a clear view to the gauge panel that includes
well-integrated AutoMerter readouts. And the addition of the large
Mallory tach goes nicely with the Hurst floor shifter.
Under the hood is where this one earns its vintage street machine
attitude. After all, the Chevy big blocks were the ones everyone
wanted on a Saturday night back in the day, and this 348 cubic-inch
V8 is truly dressed for vintage performance with its finned
Offenhauser valve covers looking so nice in the tidy engine bay.
Plus, the two air elements on top are a sure sign of the two
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetors underneath. Not only does this V8
inhale deeply from the dual-quad setup, but also it exhales with
authority as headers add even more power while contributing to the
rumble of the dual exhaust. And for this times you really want to
bring the thunder, the manual cut out plates will give you a sound
others will fear. Plus, no matter if you're taking the quarter mile
or just boulevard cruising, the versatility of the four-speed
manual transmission is always welcomed.
This Bel Air has great details, right down to the red accents on
the suspension. It all makes for a very cool big block classic
cruiser that you need to get your hands on right now. Call
