Description
This 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air was acquired by the current owner in 2008 and underwent a multi-year build completed in 2023, with work including refinishing the body in dark purple metallic, re-trimming the cabin in two-tone gray leather upholstery, and installing a fuel-injected 502ci crate V8 and a Richmond five-speed manual transmission. The car rides on a Ridetech suspension with adjustable ShockWave air shocks and a Currie 9″ rear axle with custom trailing arms. Other details consist of staggered-diameter Intro wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, a raised-cowl hood, and aftermarket headlights. The cabin is appointed with a custom center console, Vintage Air climate control, power windows, Stewart-Warner gauges, and a Pioneer CD stereo linked to trunk-mounted audio components. This modified Bel Air is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with a car cover and a clean California title. The seller tells us the body was stripped and refinished in dark purple metallic during the 2023 refurbishment. Exterior details include a raised-cowl hood on Eddie Motorsports billet hinges as well as “502” crossed-flag badges, chrome bumpers and trim, front vent windows, aftermarket headlights, and dual exhaust outlets.
