This fantastic car will be offered at NO RESERVE at Mecum's Chicago auction on Friday October 22 as lot F148!
Once you’ve laid eyes on this beautiful 1964 Bel Air it is hard to look away. And once you’ve heard it run it’s nearly impossible. With its classic lines, straight rust-free body, shiny black paint, and thundering 409 it puts on quite a show.
The 409 cubic inch engine is a correct QB-suffix 3844422 casting from 1964. It features two correct Carter 3361S 4-barrel carburetors and a matching air cleaner. The engine sounds fantastic, especially when you run the gears of the Borg-Warner 4-speed transmission. The rear suspension features boxed trailing arms for additional strength. Braking has been upgraded with a dual reservoir master cylinder. There is power steering as well.
The black interior is all business with a front bench seat. A set of underdash gauges has been added along with a column mounted tachometer. There are many new parts throughout including the seat covers, door panels, carpet, and headliner. Everything works properly.
The 409 Impalas and Bel Airs of the early 60’s are legendary. This one helps to show why.
