This is a real V-8 Bel Air hardtop. California built, has 1 piece
bumper. Lived out west, zero rust original metal. This is a
meticulously built car. It is dialed in- doesn't smoke or leak,
shifts properly, functions like it should.
EXTERIOR: Factory color combination of Matador red and Adobe beige-
code 763. This is a rust free body. Restored 10 years ago and
there's not a bubble or crack anywhere I could find. It is
absolutely straight, everything fits beautifully. The paint is
polished out to very smooth, high gloss finish. California cars
have a one piece bumper and this one has the optional bumper guards
that extends all the way across the front grill. All the trim was
new or restored. The front end sparkles. The stainless trim down
the sides and all around the windows is straight and polished. It
has optional stone shields on the front fenders, rocker moldings,
fingernail gaurds on the handles and a correct antenna. In back the
taillight bezels sparkle, the bumper is rechromed. Door jambs are
neatly painted, the hardware, weather strips and sill plates are
excellent. The doors shut beautifully and the little flippers on
top of the windows work. The glass is clear. It has correct rims,
hubcaps and wide whites.
INTERIOR: I literally said "wow" when I sat in this car. The dash
is gorgeous. The metal is painted slick as glass and all the chrome
is sparkling. The wonderbar radio was converted internally to FM,
the clock was rebuilt with quartz movement, glovebox light works.
New steering wheel is 2 inches smaller. The seats are reupholstered
in the correct materials with the chrome piping. The door panels
were replaced. The perforated headliner and visors are nice, dome
light works. The window handles and cranks were replaced. The
correct tight loop carpet is on the floor. The kick panels and up
under the dash is restored. New wiring harness throughout the car.
There is a gauge cluster neatly installed.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: "Wow" again, the motor compartment is
beautiful. All the finishes are smooth. It looks like it just came
out of the factory. The original 265 motor was rebuilt. It has a
power pack which includes 4 barrel carb, original manifolds, valve
covers, Rochester carb and air cleaner. It also has the correct
glass bowl fuel filter, proper hose clamps and original power
steering unit mounted on the generator. The wipers are optional
electric wipers. The battery is bolted down properly.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Clean metal is painted adobe beige. It has the
correct rubber mat, a Silvertown white wall that's never been used
and the rim is painted. It has the complete jack assembly. Wiring,
weatherstrip and decal was replaced. A car cover is included.
UNDERSIDE: No rust original metal. It's been cleaned and painted
black. The front end has been rebuilt. The brakes have been
rebuilt, e-brake assembly is hooked up. New shocks. The power
steering looks new. It has a complete stainless dual exhaust system
with optional tips. The fuel system including tank, straps, sending
unit and lines were replaced. Looking up at the motor it is clean,
has correct canister type oil filter. The original Powerglide auto
was rebuilt. The original rear end is detailed, has 3.55 gears.
You would have to look at many, many tri- five Chevy to find one as
good as this. It's not just a pretty face, it knows how to cook
too!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
