Real Bel Air V-8 hardtop, original motor and trans. Body off frame
restored, from a NC collection. It's a pleasure to cruise with it's
smooth running 265, automatic trans, power steering and a modern
air conditioning system.
EXTERIOR: The body is really nice. It's a 15 year old restoration
and there's no rust, cracking or bubbles that I could find. The
panels fit very nicely. Refreshing colors, the paint is polished
very smooth and glossy. It looks like literally every piece of
exterior trim has been replaced. Up front it has the big bumper
guard. The grill, hood trim, headlight, bird on the hood and
emblems have been replaced. It has the correct antenna, dual
mirrors and door handles with the fingernail guards. In back the
tail light housings bumpers, bumper guards, emblems were replaced.
It has the correct stainless tips on the tail pipes. The stainless
trim all around the windows, the moldings down the sides and on the
rockers look like new. The window frames look like they're new, I
think the glass is too. Original rear window. The rims are painted
body color, has correct hubcaps and radial white wall tires. The
door jambs are painted real nice and have new weatherstrips.

upholstery. It has the correct tight loop carpet on the floor,
overhead is a white perforated headliner and visors in excellent
condition. The dome light works. The metal inside the car was
repainted smooth and glossy. The trim on the dash looks like it's
all been replaced. They updated it with an updated chrome tilt
column and custom steering wheel. The a/c controls are incorporated
into the original control panel and the vents are neatly installed
under the dash. The clock even works! Kick panels, knobs, mirror,
speaker shelf, dimmer switch, firewall insulation, window cranks
and handles were all replaced. A retro stereo fits right in the
factory hole.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: You can tell it was all apart and restored. The
265 V-8 motor runs smooth as can be, like a mouse in slippers. It
has correct casting codes and stamped #s. It has stock manifolds,
valve covers and air cleaner. The correct 4 barrel carb was
rebuilt, has correct glass fuel bowl filter. All the brackets,

smooth gloss white. The seat divider, the rubber floor mat and
weatherstrip were replaced. The spare is a painted rim with a
reproduction white wall tire that has never been used. The jack has
been repainted. There is also a set of fender skirts painted to
match that go with the car. The wiring was replaced.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame for restoration. Under the
car is all metal, no rust. Painted a smooth semi gloss black. The
chassis is smooth clean metal painted black too. The front end
components look proper. All 4 shocks have been replaced. The fuel

apologize for. Great colors, great condition throughout!
