ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Wow, that's what I said when I opened the hood. The entire engine compartment and under the hood is painted the body color and it's smooth and glossy. I see a bunch of stainless steel hardware and chrome. At the heart of it is a 5.7 350 motor with aluminum heads, polished aluminum Tune Port Injection with chrome intake. Has chrome plated aluminum valve covers. The front of the motor has the billet aluminum brackets, pulleys with serpentine belt system, an aluminum one wire alternator and a polished a/c compressor. Has 605 power steering with polished reservoir and stainless hoses. The power brake booster and master cylinder are chrome plated. Has an upgraded Griffin aluminum radiator with dual electric fans and a polished overflow bottle. Also has an MSD ignition.

UNDERSIDE: The bottom of this car is all clean metal painted the color of the car. Frame and chassis components were rebuilt and painted black. Upfront the steering and suspension was rebuilt. New body bushings. Bottom of the motor is clean, has high torque starter. Updated with a 700R-4 overdrive automatic. 10 bolt rear end in back. New fuel system- tank, sending unit and lines. Brake system was rebuilt, updated with disc in front. New lines and hoses, e-brake cables are hooked up. Has a great sounding dual exhaust system.
This Bel Air will turn a lot of heads. That's because it looks sharp and you can be out driving it all the time. Vintage style, modern upgrades!
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.
