Vehicle Description
There is a 5 inch stack of build receipts and specs. Body off frame
restored. Born a real V-8 Bel Air, very desirable hardtop without
the post. Same owner the 19 years. Original California car then
Georgia car. I just drove this car for the weekend-outstanding! It
performs so good. Starts and functions great. Cruises along so
easy, smooth and comfortable. You mash the pedal and those 3 carbs
open and the car is a monster. Monday I couldn't stop bragging
about what a nice car this one is.
EXTERIOR: Super slick "hot red" paint. Really, this body and paint
are outstanding. It is straight and fits nice. Everything shuts
perfectly. That is one bright red on this car! It is polished out
smooth and glossy. Every single piece of chrome and trim is
gleaming. I circled around a 2nd time to verify but yes every piece
of chrome looks new- bumpers, bezels, door handles, hood ornament,
window frames, vent window pillars etc. The stainless trim is
straight and polished like chrome. The side moldings, grill, window
moldings etc. All the glass was replaced with smoked glass. New
rubber gaskets, new window seals. Door jambs are slick like the
exterior. Has new weatherstrips, latches and billet sill plates.
Features include 1 piece California bumpers, rocker trim and fender
shields, door handle guards, blue dot taillights and a 3rd brake
light incorporated into the trunk emblem. They went old school with
a new set of 15 inch SS Cragars. BFG tires, beefier in back.
INTERIOR: I'll tell you what I'm sitting in the car right now and
it certainly looks brand new and man is it comfortable. Seat must
have been rebuilt. Matching tweed throughout looks brand new.
Custom molded door panels. Headliner has the Bel Air chrome ribs.
Visors upholstered to match. The dash is painted a mirror finish
black with all new Billet trim. Beautiful set of white gauges and a
hot rod tachometer mounted to the column. There's a retro stereo
with kick panel speakers, rear deck speakers and a CD changer in
the trunk. Has new looking carpet with rubber mats. There are seat
belts front and back. Really, everything looks new- mirror, heater
controls, ignition bezel, custom pedals, handles, cranks etc. Has
custom clock too. All new wiring.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Too cool, a 427 with Corvette tri-power! It was
just completely rebuilt and balanced. Has L-88 Corvette cam, Eagle
rods, forged pistons, roller timing chain. The block was honed,
surfaced and bored to a 433. The Edelbrock aluminum heads were
completely reworked, ported etc. Carbs are all dialed in and
functional, even has a choke and the triangular Corvette style air
cleaner. Has MSD ignition system. Front of the motor is real clean-
has a Billet bracket going to the chrome alternator, aluminum water
pump and pulleys. A polished, over sized BeCool aluminum radiator
with an overflow bottle and twin electric fans make sure this big
block stays cool. The compartment is all painted beautifully.
Bottom of the hood and inner fenders are gloss red, firewall is
gloss black. You will be displaying this hood open!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Inside the trunk has upholstered side panels.
The floor is custom carpeted and insulated. There is a full size
spare, aluminum battery and a very soft custom fit car cover. The
red paint under the trunk lid and the jamb is just as glossy as the
outside. The latches have been detailed, new weatherstrip.
UNDERSIDE: Body was removed from the frame for a thorough
restoration. The floors are so clean it is almost hard to believe.
Smooth original floors and frame painted satin black. The front end
suspension and steering is completely new. Upgraded with QA-1
adjustable gas shocks and a sway bar. Upgraded to disc brakes in
front. Bottom of motor is spotless. Has over sized oil pan, custom
dipstick, chrome flywheel cover and high torque starter. Has
paperwork documentation for the TPI 700R-4 overdrive automatic
transmission with 2,500 stall and external cooler. Custom Denny's
driveshaft with solid universal u-joints leads back to a 4.11 posi.
It is a complete Moser rear end package- entire center unit,
bearings, 35 spline axles, Detroit Locker etc. Rear suspension is
all new with 2 inch dropped springs and tubular control arms. Long
tube headers connect to a Flowmaster exhaust system with crossover
pipe. Everything is replaced: u-joints, e-brake cables, brake hoses
and lines, fuel lines, electric fuel pump, fuel filter, body
bushings, fuel tank, straps, insulators and sending unit etc. There
is a remote battery shut off switch. The underside: is about as
nice as you will find.
This is a desirable Bel Air hardtop. The quality really sets it
apart but it's that slick bright red and gleaming chrome that will
get you excited. A 427 tri-power under the hood ought to bring you
to a climax! You cant overpay for this car. I have been around cars
long enough to spot the exceptional ones-this is one of them.
