For Sale: 1963 Chevrolet Bel Air in Volo, Illinois

Vehicle Description

$170,000 invested! Only 365 miles on a high caliber, body off frame restoration with upgrades to it's function and finishes! Includes a binder of documents. This is one of the coolest wagons I've seen, gotta love the rear facing 3rd seat!

EXTERIOR: You can be the coolest parents at the soccer game! This wagon looks sharp, such nostalgia with modern appeal. The body fit and finish is excellent. Arrow straight, smooth all the way to the bottom and all those doors line up great. Nicely laid out metallic Marina Blue with a high gloss clear coat polished smooth. The White painted roof is very 1963 and as smooth as glass. Most of the chrome and trim was replaced. It has new 1 piece bumpers, bowtie mirrors and a power antenna. New windshield and new smoked side glass. The weatherstrips and seals were replaced. LED headlights and a 3rd brake were a bright choice. The stance and wheels are what really transforms this Belt Air family wagon into cruise night hit! American Racing Hopster wheels: 17x8s in front, 17x9.5s in back are wrapped in Cooper Performance tires.

INTERIOR: $30,000 interior! It smells like a leather store when you open the door, there must be several cow hides covering all 3 rows of seats and the 4 doors. The design, shape and materials used on the custom seats and door panels are very rich and tasteful, worthy of a modern luxury car. The 2nd and 3rd row seats fold flat leaving a Mercedes style square weave wool carpet platform. The same rich carpet is used throughout and also has matching mats. Overhead is a new white headliner and visors. The trim and metal dash are painted like the exterior. At first glance it looks like the original speedometer, until you hit the key and the Dakota Digital RTX gauges light up like a video game. American Autowire wiring harness and fuse panel was installed. A reproduction steering wheel is mounted on a chrome tilt column. The retro stereo is hands free. New seatbelts for the front 2 rows. It's comfy and cool, I think the kids will love riding in this one!

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: New GM crate ZZ6 EFI motor offers modern performance with traditional style. It's a 350 making 420 hp and 408 lbs of torque! You can't beat the reliable performance from a GM crate motor. It also has an MSD electronic ignition and Sanderson ceramic coated headers. Dressed up real nice with matched cast aluminum Chevrolet valve covers and air cleaner lid. It has the GM frontrunner serpentine system with all new components including air conditioning and power steering. New Borgeson steering box and stainless couplers on the steering shaft. The power brakes have a Wilwood master cylinder and proportioning valve. It runs as cool as it looks with a Be Cool aluminum radiator and overflow bottle with dual electric fans. The firewall and the under the hood are painted body color and the rest is a smooth semi gloss black. The billet hinges have fantastic function and style.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Crank the rear window down, reach in and pull the handle to release the easy to use tailgate. The rear facing seat pulls out of the floor and the well area is carpeted. The detail is just as fantastic back here as it is up front. I want to ride in the back seat! Make faces at the cars following you, right!

UNDERSIDE: Completely rebuilt steering and suspension with significant upgrades. Upfront has QA1 heavy duty tubular control arms, adjustable coilover gas shocks, drop spindles and heavy duty swaybar. In back it has a 4 link system with CPP tubular control arms, adjustable gas shocks, lowering springs and Ridetech panhard bar. Custom stainless exhaust with remote operated exhaust dumps. Rick's Tanks polished stainless fuel tank system compatible for fuel injection. Upgraded Wilwood brake system with drilled and slotted disc at all four wheels, e-brake is hooked up. Looking up at the motor you can see the GM crate motor tag and a high torque starter. Custom built Monster 700R-4 overdrive automatic. It has a heavy duty performance build with 2400 lockup converter, anti balloon plate and level 2 firm shiftness. A custom driveshaft connects to the M9 fabricated 9 inch rear with 3.90 posi gears.

SERVICE: We inspect and service each of our cars with pride.
We fixed the horn on this car and gave it an alignment. We installed a battery hold down, door bumpers, exhaust hangers turn down tips and replaced the lock cylinders.

Unique doesn't always mean good; in this case it means great! Really, there is $160,000-$180,000 invested making this nostalgic ride one of the coolest on the street! It's an opportunity to take advantage of someone else's time and money. Don't wait, there won't be another one, I guarantee that!
