This Bel Air four door hardtop retains its original GM code 700 Sierra Gold over Adobe Beige two tone paint colors with one prior repaint.
The original body panels are in excellent shape and haven't needed any large repairs. The car does not show any signs of previous accidents. The original panels and assembly line fit and finish assure that the doors close and align just as well as when the car left the factory. The two tone paint has been well maintained since restoration and shows very well.
