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 cargo in one vintage vehicle. It even has a comfy A/C interior
and highway-friendly overdrive. And while you can justify this
Chevy to your practical side, the enthusiasts in you will instantly
gravitate to the adjustable air ride suspension, slick two-tone,
four-wheel disc brakes, and fuel-injected V8 power. So, this is the
one classic that your practical and passionate sides can agree
on.
There's nothing about the first impression that will ever make
anyone assume this is just some random grocery-getter. This
two-tone tan and blue have a terrific modern luster, and the blue
also has the right hint of metallic you want in a cruiser. Even the
Boss wheels were painted to match. 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 quite straight panels mean
the full-length trim looks like an uninterrupted line down the Bel
Air's body. Plus, the bumpers, grille, and all that window trim
shine brightly, too. But the detail you're likely going to spend
the most time on is the full custom pinstripe package. And you can
make sure people get a clear view of even the artwork on the roof,
because the adjustable air ride suspension lets you dial-in that
ideal low stance.
Not only does the interior follow a similar tan and blue color
theme, but also it's full of thoughtful detailing. For example, to
make sure they kept the classic atmosphere, some of the best
upgrades are well integrated into this wagon. The AM/FM stereo with
Bluetooth and USB is a retro-style unit that doesn't look out of
place in the dash, and the modern R134a air conditioning controls
blend in, too. Even the compressor for the air ride suspension is
nicely hidden in the rear storage. So your first impression really
gets to take in the fresh and vintage look of the button-top seats
with striped cloth inserts. The door panels are done to match, and
even the carpeting continues the two-tone look. The driver does get
a few nice reminders that this is an upgraded cruiser with
stand-out features like the pinstriping on the dash and Dakota
Digital VHX gauges.
The engine bay has terrific style with the smooth inner walls done
in blue and more custom pinstriping on the motor. But that's not
the most impressive part. This is a modern LS-based Vortec
5.3-liter fuel-injected V8. It has been built for fun with a mild
cam, 92mm intake, and a nice set of Hustler ceramic-coated headers.
It's supported by the right pieces with everything from an Optima
red top battery to an aluminum radiator w/electric fan. But doing a
proper upgrade means more than just the motor. This has a 700R4
four-speed automatic transmission. It has a stall converter for
performance, and it also automatically shifts into easy overdrive
cruising. The suspension gives you tubular A-arms up front,
reinforced trailing arms in the rear, and sway bars at both ends.
Plus, there's power steering, the grip of modern sport tires, and a
Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes package with drilled & slotted
rotors.
Complete with build receipts and service manuals, 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, superior 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!
