HELLO TO ALL 1959 CHEVROLET BELAIR LOVERS,

THE 1959 CHEVROLET BELAIR YOUR VIEWING IS ONE OF THE LAST 59's LEFT IN ORIGINAL UNRESTORED CONDITION. THIS CAR IS NUMBERED BODY #17,077 AND THE 83,154th PASSENGER CARS PRODUCED (SEE VIN#) AT THE ST. LOUIS, MO. PLANT. MAINLY UNTOUCHED FACTORY PRODUCTION ORIGINAL CLASSIC,... THEY ONLY COME THIS WAY ONCE IN A LIFETIME...ORIGINAL PAINT AND WHATS LEFT OF THE INTERIOR WITH SOME PAINT SPOT JOBS ON HOOD AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE 1/4 AND THE FRONT DRIVERS FRONT FENDER. THE TWO TONE ONOX BLACK OVER / SNOWCREST WHITE CODE 950B IS ALL BUT FADED OFF TO BURNT BROWN PRIMER ON THE WHITE, ALL SURFACE PATINA. NICE PATINA OVERALL FOR A GREAT RAT ROD OR A NICE BELAIR CLASSIC TO CRUISE IN.

THE CAR WAS STORED FOR 30 YEARS OUTSIDE UNDER A SHED WITH THE TRUNK AREA UNPROTECTED. THIS CAUSED THE MOST DAMAGE TO THE THIS VERY STRAIGHT AND MAINLY SOLID OVER CLASSIC. THE PINE NEEDLES DID THE DAMAGE TO THE WEATERSTRIP GUTTER ALL THE WAY AROUND THE TRUNK AND ITS NOW ALL GONE CEPT THE TRUNK LATCH WHICH STILL HOLDS THE TRUNK IN PLACE AND LOOKS FINE AS IS. NOTE: TO RESTORE THIS CORRECTLY, YOU NEED TO UNSEEM THE UPPER FINS AT THE OUTER SIDE TOP, ALL THE WAY TO THE UNDER THE REAR WINDOW GUTTER TO MAKE THIS RIGHT AGAIN. PLEASE NOTHING TO HIDE HERE, THAT'S ALOT OF WORK FOR A GOOD SEEM SPECIALIST, OR JUST WELD THE TRUNK CLOSED "AS IS" AND CRUISE. THE TRUNK FLOOR NEEDS REPLACED AS WELL IF RESTORING, AS ALSO THE MAIN FLOOR PANS, LOWER REAR CENTERS ONLY, AND THE FLAT FRONT PANS ON THE FRONT. THE ROCKERS ARE VERY SOILD AND THE SEAT MOUNTS ARE ALL RUST FREE. ALSO AND THE MAIN SUPPORTS ARE ALL GOOD UNDER THE CAR. INNER ROCKERS ARE GOOD ALSO.

MECHANICS:

AFTER SITTING FOR 35 YEARS THIS ENGINE FIRED RIGHT UP AFTER WE PUT OIL IN THE CYLINDERS AND RUNS NICE NO SMOKING EVEN. ALL THE DRIVETRAIN IS ORIGINAL AND OPERATES AND STARTS WITH A PUMP ON THE PEDAL AND FIRES UP QUICK, TURN KEY. IDLES NICE, MOTOR SEEMS TO BE SOLID AND STILL STRONG AT 84,000 MILES. CARB IS OK, BUT LEAKS A LITTLE, NEEDS NEW GASKETS, BUT IT RUNS OK. NEW COIL AND POINTS AND CONDENSOR. ALL THE PLUGS WHERE CLEANED AND ARE NICE ORIGNAL AC 44'S. TRANSMISSION IS THE 3 SPEED MANUAL ON THE TREE, OR COLUMN SHIFT. THE SHIFTER HANGS UP AT TIMES, BUT THE MORE WE DRIVE IT, THE MORE THE TRANS IS PERFORMING BETTER AS IT SHOULD COULD NEED A BEARING ADJUSTMENT? CLUTCH IS OK ALSO, NO ODD NOISES FROM REAR END AND OR INTERNAL MOTOR. NO BRAKES, NEEDS NEW MASTER AND ALL BRAKE CYLINDERS. NO E-BRAKE DUE TO PULLY MISSING FOR PULL WIRE.

ELECTRICAL:

ALL FUNCTION, LIGHTS, ALL BLINKERS AND PARKING LIGHTS, EXTERIOR. HIGH BEAMS, LOW BEAMS NEED NEW BULBS, BLINKERS ALL OPERATE AS THEY SHOULD. RADIO?, HEATER, FAN? CABLES FOR DEFROST & HEAT AND ALL VENTS ARE ALL WORKING GLOVE BOX IS GOOD AND LOCKS WITH KEY
