This is a full Body Off restoration of a Chevy Bel Air convertible featuring the venerable Dual Quads. Every nut and bolt was touched during the extensive (and expensive) restoration. It has minimal patina now as it has been about ten years since restoration making this the perfect Bel Air to show at concours enjoy on tours or as a weekend cruiser!
This Bel Air was restored back to the factory correct color of Larkspur Blue livery (Paint Code 795) with the correct Blue Interior (Trim Code 679). We love the iconic color combination paired with the white convertible top and the continental kit (rear spare tire). The car is stunning! (VIN: VC57J165041)
This Bel Air is loaded with options! It has the correct 283 cu. in. dual quad (with the famous Bat Wing air cleaner) V8 with about 245 hp fitted with the Powerglide automatic transmission. For ease of driving this Bel Air has power steering and a power soft top. Other accessories include: Bowtie AM/FM cassette stereo Continental kit electric clock and many deluxe cosmetic accessories. We love the dual rear antennas!
The car drives beautifully. More than anything the car needs to be driven and enjoyed more frequently (and fresh gas added). The temperature gauge and speedometer are not functioning properly. For the past eight years this Bel Air has been owned by a collector in Southern California that has driven it sparingly. We now offer it for sale on his behalf.
Cosmetically everything was restored to very high standards. The condition of the car belies the decade old restoration. Upon close inspection it appears as though there was a freshening up of an older frame off restoration. The exterior was repainted with a high quality respray to make it look absolutely fresh. The engine compartment and interior show a little bit more patina but still wonderful. There are no dents or scratches in the paint. We would enjoy the car as is without doing anything except driving it and taking it to concours events! Look at the detailed photo gallery and inspection video with the test drive!
We do not have photos or receipts for the restoration as it was bought eight years ago fully restored. But the condition of the car speaks for itself!
