Vehicle Description
This 1963 Chevrolet Bel Air has been upgraded to show off exactly
what you wanted if you were going to own the boulevard back in the
day. That means a 409 V8, four-on-the-floor, and a solid pillared
two-door sedan body. And the whole presentation of this restored
Chevy has a retro-cool feel, right down to the pattern on the
seats.
We'll dive into the motor details shortly, but first, take a moment
to appreciate the total package. The color is the factory-correct
Cordova Brown. It was resprayed later in life as part of a
restoration that has matured nicely to represent the right look for
a cool but unassuming Chevy that's built for fun. And the sheet
metal looks nice to present this distinct classic crisply. This
includes the dual tapered creases in the hood, pointed rear
overhangs, and full-length pleats down the sides. The stylist even
gave these a tapered line that starts at the rear bumper to look
like it's pointing this classic forward. You'll even love the
details, like the wraparound rear window and the factory-style dog
dish hubcaps ideal for a sleeper. It delivers a nice time capsule
style that makes this Bel Air attractive for more than just the
beast within.
The interior is done in earth tones to coordinate nicely with the
exterior. That's one of those terrific color combos that set a
classic apart, and the trim tag even tells us it was born this way.
But this one is a cut-above because they took their time to restore
it to feel like today is the summer of 1963. Lovely carpeting, a
taut headliner, door panels with correct bright trim, and seats
with the stylized cloth insert - these details make you proud to
invite family and friends along for the ride. Sitting behind the
wheel feels like a time warp with the proper Bel Air center cap on
the highly stylized rim. There is even the right hint of aging so
you can feel the generations that have come before you. Plus, the
wide speedometer is a great hallmark of the era. But then your
performance senses start to tingle. After all, the tach and floor
shifter are the kind of things that should get your heart racing
even before you twist the key.
Wherever you go, you will feel like showing off the legendary
motor. That's why they made sure the engine bay looks terrific.
Smooth and dark fender walls attract attention to the bright block,
shining valve covers, and matching dual intake air grabber with a
409 callout. This is an upgraded powerhouse, but you'll take extra
pride in knowing it's the correct casting for a 1963 dual-quad 409
- a true boulevard legend. The V8 fires up nicely, and as you
follow the path of the dual exhaust, it reveals a clean
undercarriage that was part of the authentic-style restoration.
Because this was built as a tribute to old-school muscle, the
driving experience makes you feel the road like a true classic
would. And that includes the proper control that comes from a
four-speed manual transmission.
Complete with the owner's manual. This 409 was built to give you a
truly authentic feeling about what it was like to own the blacktop
in 1963. So if you love a true classic king, call today!
