This genuine Bel Air is wearing a perfect color combination, it
screams 1950s! It has been body off frame restored retaining its
vintage appeal although it is upgraded with all the goodies. From a
crate Ram Jet motor and overdrive trans to a/c, 4 wheel disc brakes
and a custom suspension. Only 3,124 miles since finished.
EXTERIOR: The body was kept all stock and it's in excellent
condition. It is straight from front to back and there's no rust or
damage. Everything fits beautifully, the doors click shut.
Repainted in its original colors: shadow gray and coral paint. It
is polished to a smooth glossy finish. It has an abundance of
chrome and trim which was all replaced at the time of restoration.
Optional bumper guards, rocker moldings, fingernail guards, fuel
door trim and dual mirrors. Upgraded with LED taillights and a
third brake light. New windshield and weatherstrips. It has a great
lowered stance and is sitting on a set of chrome Foose wheels. 17s
in front, 18s in back and they're wrapped in Nitto performance
tires.
INTERIOR: Inside the car is restored back to stock with just a few
upgrades. Down on the floor is the correct tight weave carpet along
with a set of Bel Air floor mats. The seats have been recushioned
and reupholstered. New reproduction door panels are dressed up with
custom handles. Above is the new headliner and visors along with
the Bel Air chrome ribs. Seat belts have been added for the whole
family. The metal trim is painted to match the outside. The dash
has all new trim and is upgraded with some modern gauges that
includes a tachometer. A leather grip steering wheel is on a chrome
tilt column and the shift indicator is updated with overdrive
markings. There is a retro stereo in the factory location.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Here we have a GM Performance crate Ram Jet 350
making 351 hp. The old school looking fuel injection has modern
technology. It is also dressed up with some beautiful chrome
Chevrolet valve covers and it has a set of Doug's coated headers.
In front of the motor is a serpentine belt with all billet pulleys,
brackets, polished A/C compressor and a polished alternator. It has
a modern power steering and a CPP steering box. A Wilwood billet
master cylinder is on a chrome power brake booster. It runs cool
with an upgraded Walker aluminum radiator. It also has an upgraded
electric wiper system. The engine bay is neatly painted, wires are
run neatly, horns are hooked up.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and jamb are painted like
the car. Inside is solid and has a reproduction mat. Complete with
jack and spare.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame for restoration. The
suspension was upgraded with tubular control arms and adjustable
coilover gas shocks in front. In back it has new springs, lowering
blocks and Viking dual adjustable gas shocks. Rebuilt steering, new
fuel system and a great sounding custom exhaust. Upgraded Wilwood
brake system with drilled and slotted disc at all four wheels.
Looking up at the motor it is clean Chevy Orange and has a high
torque starter. The trans is upgraded with a 700R-4 overdrive
automatic. The floors and frame are clean and painted black.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and adjusted the shifter, replaced
reverse light bulbs, tightened wiper switch and installed a battery
hold down.
I walked in the door of a local private collection and seen this
car sitting there, I knew instantly it was coming home with me! I
love the colors and it is optioned out real nice. I also love the
combination of vintage appeal with modern upgrades. But it before I
keep it!
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.
