This 1963 Chevrolet Bel Air gets everything right. The lines are classicand#44; the color is brilliantand#44; the interior is cleanand#44; and did we mention the LS1 powerplant under the hood? Add in the air suspension that gives it a slammed stanceand#44; and you get an early 60s Chevy that will draw a crowd every time you turn the key. The paint has that perfect combination of deep color and a correct lookand#44; so the vintage Chevy doesnt look too modern yet seems to get more than its share of double-takes. We dont know where it comes from or what its calledand#44; but it works extremely well on the elegant Bel Air 2-door sedan bodywork. It doesnt get in the way of the overall lookand#44; instead it becomes part of the cars personalityand#44; a yin to the engine and suspensions yangand#44; and we love the result. There are a few signs of age and useand#44; as it was done a few years agoand#44; but youll probably findand#44; like we haveand#44; that everyone likes to inquire about it. This dark coppery-orange with just a bit of metallic glow really talks to people. All the chrome and stainless trim remains in great condition as welland#44; especially the spears running down the sides that really dress up the Bel Air. Its not an Impalaand#44; so only two taillights per sideand#44; and dual antennas on the rear deck always look sporty. With a slight tint to the windowsand#44; the car looks sleekand#44; and it really highlights that great curved shape of the rear glass in particular. The interior does the same thingand#44; keeping the original bench seats while adding some modern details. Nice black carpets and door panels certainly help dress things up and the dash is just how it was when it left GM. Howeverand#44; theres now a tilt column with a modern wheel that looks a lot like one youd find in a 58 Chevyand#44; and a factory tach perched there in the middle always looks awesome. Its been retrofitted with a set of auxiliary gauges under the dashand#44; as well as air conditioningand#44; which uses R134a refrigerant and modern components to be both effective and reliable. A floor shifter adds a sporty vibe and like all Bel Airs of the periodand#44; theres expansive room in the back seat. An AM/FM stereo uses speakers throughout the interior and the trunk is clean and ready for your next road trip. A very clean fuel-injected LS1 swap makes this car feel decades younger. Plenty of power on tapand#44; effortless torqueand#44; and bulletproof reliability make it a fantastic addition to this Bel Airs list of tricks. The installation is quite tidyand#44; with most of the wiring and plumbing neatly hidden out of sight. A custom air intake dresses up the front of the engineand#44; as does a big aluminum radiator. Power 4-wheel disc brakes were addedand#44; with cross-drilled rotors up frontand#44; and the 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission cruises effortlessly at almost any speed. Staggered Foose wheels add to the in the weeds lookand#44; and carry 235/40/18 front and 245/35/20 rear performance radials. A gorgeous car thats sortedand#44; fastand#44; and ready to enjoy. Were honestly shocked it doesnt cost moreand#44; so dont delay and call now! |
