Vehicle Description
1962 Chevrolet BelAir
The 5th generation of BelAir came in 1961 which brought with it a
completely new body style that would prove to be quite popular in
the years to come. This 62 bubble top has undergone a complete
frame off rotisserie restoration transforming it into the very high
quality classic you see today. The build was fully documented and
the vehicle comes with that documentation. It is an original
California car and has resided with its current owner for the past
10 years. The restoration was done 6 years ago and at that time the
car only had 60,000 original miles. Since the build it has racked
up 456 miles so that's 60,456 for its entire lifetime. The car is
painted in a nice Red paint that has a really slick finish. The
stainless and chrome pieces are all cleanly mounted in place and
have a great finish as well. A Cali 1 piece bumper was added up
front. All of the glass is in good condition and all of the
original emblems are there. It rides on painted to match wheels
with polished hubcaps and accenting that Red paint even more are
the 215/74/15 Red line tires which are perfect on a car of this
vintage.
Powering the car is a 409 435hp V8 motor that has been bored .030
over. The motor was built just as nicely as the rest of the car so
it has that factory fresh show ready appearance. It runs well and
has been fitted with a roller cam, lifters, rockers and is topped
off with dual 4 barrel carbs. Mated to the motor is a 4 speed
transmission that moves through the gears smoothly and sends power
back to the 3:36 posi rear end. The car has a nice rumble and the
entire exhaust was redone to the original specs. Other new
components include the power disc brakes, Mallory ignition, S/S
lines, an 12volt 100amp alternator.
The interior is done in Red which nicely complements the body and
the upholstery work is in great shape. It is very evident it has
only been driven 456 miles since the restoration as everything
still looks fresh. It has a split bench seat up front with a Hurst
shifter routed through the floor. The dash has been kept looking
original except for the added Autometer underdash gauge pod. The
AM/FM/Cassette player was replaced but an aftermarket look a like
model was installed so it has the correct appearance. On the column
you will find the 409 original tachometer which is working
properly.
This is an extremely nice car that truly speaks for itself. Once
look in person and you will see how well done this classic BelAir
is.
