This is a real V-8 Bel Air car. Ground up restored to look stock
but has a few nice upgrades. A fuel injected 327, 4 speed and power
disc brakes make it a whole lot more fun to drive! It looks great
in Harbor Blue too.
EXTERIOR: Very impressive fit and finish on the body. It is
straight from any angle you look. All the gaps line up square and
flush. I don't see any signs of damage, cracking or blisters. The
doors shut like new. Beautiful Harbor Blue metallic paint is laid
out evenly. The clear coat is polished very smooth and glossy. Door
jambs are painted real nice. All of the chrome and stainless was
redone or replaced at time of restoration. It's still overall very
good condition. It has optional rocker moldings and dual mirrors.
The flippers over the door windows work. The windshield was
replaced, the rest of the glass is very good original. Weather
strips were replaced. It has a set of chrome 15 inch rally wheels
with spinners. They've got reproduction BF Goodrich Silvertown
blackwall tires, fatter and taller in back.
INTERIOR: Restored from carpet to headliner back to original
condition. Down on the floor is new blue carpet with Bel Air
embroidered floor mats. A new Hurst 4-speed is sticking up out of
the hump. In front of me is a restored dash. All the metal has been
repainted. The trim looks like it's been replaced. It has a new
speedometer showing only 5,080 miles since the car has been
restored. It also has a mini tachometer mounted on the column. A
digital retro stereo fits in the factory hole and also has
auxiliary plugs. The clock is ticking! The upholstery and door
panels were replaced with correct reproduction. The headliner is
new and the dome light works. New glove box liner and it has an
owner's manual and working light. The heater control panel looks
like new. It has seat belts replaced in the front.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Rebuilt 327 motor with double hump heads and
the famous Rochester fuel injection system on top. The FI was
completely restored and is complete with correct fuel pump, air
cleaner etc. It was also upgraded with an alternator instead of the
generator. Modern power brake system with a dual reservoir master.
Optional electric wipers. Dressed up with finned aluminium Corvette
valve covers.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Solid metal has been completely painted Harbor
blue. The correct rubber mat, weatherstrip and wiring harness was
replaced. A radial whitewall spare tire is on a blue painted rim.
The original jack assembly is included.
UNDERSIDE: The front end has been completely rebuilt. I can see
fresh bushings, shocks, springs, steering components etc. The rear
suspension is also rebuilt with new springs and shocks. The fuel
system has been replaced including the tank, straps and sending
unit. The brakes have been rebuilt and upgraded to disc in the
front. The dual exhaust system has crossover pipe and Flowmaster
mufflers. Bottom of the motor is clean, has a chrome oil pan and a
rebuilt starter. The trans is a Muncie 4 speed, new shift linkage.
The frame is clean and smooth. The floors appear to be very solid
original, braces look good.
This is an exceptionally nice Bel Air. I think the vintage fuel
injection, 4 speed and colors make it special. Did you know that
complete injection system is worth 9-10 thousand dollars?
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.
