A real sweetheart! This car is so straight, it functions so smooth.
It's full of accessories and good looks. Real V8 Bel Air
hardtop.

no rust. The paint is a mirror, its stunning. There are some flaws
if you are looking for them. It's decked out with optional trim-

exhaust tips, mirrors, and door handle guards. Painted fender
skirts are included. The chrome and trim are shiny and straight.

clean.

upholstery and door panels. Correct tight loop red carpet with
matching mats. Replaced headliner with the chrome strips. Dash area
is mint. The metal is glossy black. The instruments, heater
controls, knobs and trim are excellent. Reproduction steering wheel

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Completely restored. Solid metal painted really
nice. Weatherstrip and mat were replaced. The rim is restored and
has a reproduction whitewall tire. Jack assembly is included.
UNDERSIDE: It appears to be rock solid, clean original metal. It

The front end looks like it's been completely rebuilt including the
steering and suspension. In back it has upgraded coil over shocks.
Dual stainless exhaust with Smithy mufflers. Fuel tank and sending
unit we're replaced. The brakes have been redone; brake hoses look
recent, e-brake assembly is hooked up. Looking up at the motor it
is spotless, starter and fuel pump look fresh. It has the correct

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.
