Vehicle Description
A unique classic that has been given all the right custom touches
is exactly what you get with this 1951 Chevrolet Bel Air. So over
the custom bodywork, vibrant paint, awesome A/C interior, upgraded
suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, overdrive transmission, and
upgraded V8 power. Oh yes, this custom hardtop is loaded with
everything!
From the moment you lay eyes on this one you can tell it's an
interesting custom build. But before we dive into the investments
that make it quite unique, let's remember why this is such a great
classic to begin with. This was one of the first years for the
top-of-the-line Bel Air model. Chevrolet produced less than half as
many of these pillarless hardtop models as they did the standard
two-door. It complements the sleek roofline, and it points the way
for the sporty Impalas and Chevelles of the future. And showing off
this distinct and well-done sheet metal is a lively shade of purple
with a nice pearl glow. In fact, the glossy style lets the light
roll off the custom elements of this body like the clutter-free
hood and trunk as well as the frenched headlights. Of course, what
will really be having you look at the front end is the full ghost
flame treatment. Plus, the full pinstriping, side faux lake pipes,
rear fender skirts, wraparound chrome bumpers, and custom grille
all make for an awesome total package. This is an older build, and
so you'll see some signs of this and responsible use. But a car you
can cruise is exactly what a custom like this does best. It makes
for the kind of Chevy that will let you live out your American
Graffiti fantasy.
Open the door and you are greeted by a stunning interior. It has
been fully customized by building on the classic design elements of
the original while integrating modern comfort and convenience to
the mix. The seats set the color theme with the bright white with
exterior-matching purple inserts. The door panels, dash, headliner,
and custom center console all follow this two-tone. Even the trunk
is beautifully done in purple. It really is a detail lover's
classic right down to the flames in the door panels and two-tone
steering wheel. So you'll happily roll down all the windows on this
hardtop and share the fully-coordinated style with the world. This
has the best in modern comfort with an AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth
(with hands-free function), cup holders, and cold-blowing air
conditioning. Plus, front bucket seats, a tilt steering column,
power steering, and a full set of Classic Instruments gauges make
for a great upgraded driver's package in this 1950s coupe.
There are more great upgrades under the hood. The Bel Air name
would be associated with Chevy small block power, but not for a few
more years. This one skips ahead past the Tri Fives with a 350
cubic-inch crate V8. It has a nice style with the air grabber and
valve covers painted in an exterior-matching purple. But what we
really like is the added substance of this motor. It includes
upgrades like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock
Performer hi-rise intake, and an aluminum radiator w/electric fan
to help keep it all running cool. This one is all about an easy
cruising attitude. So you have great upgrades you don't often find
elsewhere like the Mustang II-style independent front end,
four-wheel power disc brakes, and a four-speed automatic
transmission with highway-friendly overdrive.
Complete with maintenance records, this is a total package classic
that's turn-key ready to turn heads right now. It's the true
cruiser you've always wanted. Call today!!!
