Vehicle Description
Award-worthy paint, custom leather interior, four-wheel disc
brakes, and a modern LS1 V8 that's been stroked and supercharged -
this 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air is a stunning one-of-a-kind restomod
that's so unique and powerful that it cannot escape the
spotlight.
You already know why the 1962 Bel Air is such a cool ride. It's
from the sought-after couple of years where the hardtop coupe
included the highly stylized bubble top design. That skinny
c-pillar and wraparound rear window is truly spectacular. And it
only gets better on a meticulously rebuilt this classic with better
precision gaps than even the factory could have made. Next comes
the kind of Ice Blue paint that you can understand how pristine and
pure it is simply by looking how it radiates light even under our
indoor lamps. Builder John Dubois mastered the art of these
Chevy's, and you instantly appreciate it once you see how the
luster and shine evenly rolls off every surface of this Bel Air.
But more than just paint, this coupe makes a striking impression
with its brightwork. Up front, the three-part front bumper has been
made into a singular piece that shines like a mirror. The same goes
for the rear. And in-between is the sweeping side trim that runs
its unbroken line to further highlight how straight the bodywork
is. And while all this classic brightwork is amazing, you'll also
love the modern Kingman alloys that hint at just how advanced this
restomod really is.
Open the door to a full custom interior. The masters at Unlimited
Design took the essence of Chevy's original color combinations and
created a modern fully custom leather interior. That means the
great tri-color patterns available in the era, but now on four
individual bucket seats that have modern bolstering for all-day
comfort. When you sit down and close the door, the custom feeling
consumes you. The door panels match the unique seats; the
comfortable center console is trimmed in the same leather; and in
front of you is a chrome wheel with a rim that matches the same two
tone on the dash and rest of the car. It's such a well-coordinated
total package that it's easy to see this interior can winning
awards at the car shows just by its appearance alone. But more than
just stylish, you'll enjoy serious substance with this custom
build. You get a full gauge package thanks to a modern Dakota
Digital setup that glows a blue to match the interior. Plus,
there's power locks, keyless entry, a tilt wheel, and a modern
AM/FM Bluetooth radio nicely concealed in this vintage cabin. Also,
we know you're going to love power windows that allow you to show
off the pillarless hardtop profile without ever having to leave the
driver's seat. And since this custom coupe has ice-cold R134a air
conditioning, you can feel comfortable running with the windows
down all year long.
As much as you'll love showing off the interior and exterior, it's
the motor that will really draw all the crowds. Under the hood is
modern LS1 fuel-injected V8 that's been enhanced with a 383 stroker
kit and Magnuson Supercharger. Other upgrades include LS6 camshaft,
LS6 aluminum heads, and 9.5 to 1 compression. But the beastly side
of this motor is well hidden thanks to the level of professional
installation with the high-quality paint on the fenders and
firewall that make the presentation neat and clean. This level of
excellence goes well beyond the engine bay. You'll see in the
undercarriage photos with the painted chassis that has a smoothness
and finish that many high-quality classics don't even get on their
exterior (so you'll definitely be bringing big mirrors to the car
shows.) Also, this is where you'll spot plenty of other upgrades
such as the new A-arm front suspension, reinforced rear end,
Ridetech coliovers all around, and Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes.
If this sounds like the perfect mix of a power handler and great
cruiser, you'd be right. There's even a 4L65E four-speed automatic
transmission that features a 2300 RPM stall and overdrive to handle
everything from performance driving to highway roadtrips. Plus, the
heavy duty custom Matheson radiator and dual electric fans are
designed to keep this whole machine cool even if you're in traffic
with the A/C pumping.
With only 187 miles on it since completion, we've only scratched
the surface on this amazing bumper-to-bumper build - call for the
full details and records. But already know how rare it is to find a
custom that can shatter everyone's expectations and that's also
turnkey ready today. So hurry and give us a call before the best
Bel Air you'll ever see goes into new hands!
