This clean grocery getter Bel Air has some serious performance
upgrades. The motor is built, has upgraded trans and rear.
Suspension is custom, disc brakes at all four wheels and the
exhaust is made by hand. It is a runner!
EXTERIOR: Claimed to be all original body panels. It is straight as
an arrow, the body gaps are precise. Everything fits square and
flush, you can close the doors with your pinky. Repainted only one
time back to it's original color. The metal flake is laid out
nicely, it has a glossy clear coat finish. There's a couple minor
imperfections if you look for them. Overall the grill, trim,
moldings, bumpers, bow tie mirrors are good. The stainless trim
around the windows is polished. Custom bowtie taillights. Door
jambs are real nice, actually I think they are original paint. The
weather strips and window seals were replaced. New 15 inch steel
rims from Wheel Vintiques painted body color with poverty caps and
Good Year tires.

We acquired this car from a "409 guy". He also races one. The car
is done right, drive it anywhere!
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.
**These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a
particular car make an appointment with a salesman to see that car.
Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded and you
will be given a 1 year membership.
