  • A custom Bel Air that features period-correct colors and modern mechanical upgrades

400 cu. in. V-8 engine, four-speed automatic transmission, independent front suspension with coil springs, live axle rear suspension with a Panhard bar and leaf springs, and four-wheel power disc brakes. Wheelbase: 115 in.

This fresh resto-mod custom Bel Air is presented in factory colors of Sierra Gold and Adobe Beige, and it has all of the right modern upgrades for a very enjoyable experience. A rotisserie restoration performed on the car allowed the one-piece California frame to be fully finessed and painted to match the body. To further accentuate the beautiful golden exterior, the upholstery has been finished using French-stitched Havana Rust and Cream materials. A modern tilt steering column now sports a leather-wrapped billet wheel, and modern gauges and Vintage Air controls are nicely placed in the stock dash.

The drivetrain features a built 400-cubic inch V-8 with fresh pistons, a crank, heads, chrome twin Edelbrock 650 carburetors, and a full serpentine pulley system. All braided stainless plumbing was installed, along with a complete Painless wiring harness. The transmission is a 700-R4 unit that has been fitted to a 10-bolt posi rear end with 3.23 gears. Other hardware on the car include a 605 power-steering box, an aluminum radiator, and power disc brakes, for modern, comfortable driving. Finally, Foose 18-inch wheels that are wrapped in Nitto Z-rated tires make the outstanding profile even more appealing.

Even though this marvelous street machine was completed nearly three years ago, it is still fresh and clean in every way, with minimal miles driven. It is simply a gorgeous rendition of Chevrolet’s timeless treasure.
