1960 Chevrolet Bel Air Belair Chevy Original Survivor Impala Un-restored on 2040-cars

Here is an absolutely incredible car!  This is a 1960 Chevrolet Bel Air 4 door sedan.  It has 103,000 original miles, but  in my opinion, it would actually pass for less than half that many!  This Original Survivor is an unbelievable time capsule!  I acquired it from the second owner, who had owned it nearly 50 years!  Car has always been pampered, garaged, and never driven in snow or ice.  All original body panels, floors, etc.  This is not rusted out or full of a bunch of bondo.  Body is nice and straight.   Clean and nice underneath too, not scaly or rusty like many you see.  Ready to drive or take to cruise ins or shows.  Like any used original car this age, there are a few minor nicks and dings, but this one still makes a super appearance.  In my opinion, it is much better than most original cars I  have seen from this era!

Very striking in red and white  with tri-tone gray and black deluxe cloth interior, this sharp Bel Air is equipped as follows:

1.   "Blue Flame" 6 Cylinder 235 cubic inch engine

2.  2 speed "Powerglide" automatic transmission.

3.  Deluxe push button AM radio (not working)

5.  Deluxe heater and defroster

6   Optional 2 tone paint

7.  Deluxe 2 speed wipers

This beautiful Chevy is an un-restored original Survivor and looks great!  Nice and shiny, not faded or oxidized.  Chrome  and bright work are also all original (NOT reproduction) and are bright and shiny.  This is one of the more original cars I have seen in awhile.  Still looks great under the hood and in the trunk!  Underside of car is also nice and clean.  The interior is really nice and all original.  No cracks or tears in door panels or arm rests.  Tri-tone upholstery on seats looks great!

As you would imagine, this car hits the road just fine  The engine and transmission are smooth with no issues that I can see.  Second owner had engine rebuilt and transmission serviced and re-sealed about 20,000 miles ago.   Only thing that doesn't work is AM radio.  Only other minor thing is that sometimes you have to "jiggle" the wiper switch to get them to come on.  Probably just dirty contacts.   I drove it on a 225 mile trip recently with no problems at all.  Handles and holds the road great!  Fun car to drive and gets lots of attention!

Car has 5 white wall radial tires with very good tread.   Brakes work well, and car drives and stops in a straight line.  Even the parking brake still works!  Only deviation from original that I see is that 2nd owner had an after-market muffler and chrome exhaust tip installed.  Rest of exhaust appears stock from what I can see.

This is one of the nicest, well cared for original late 50s to early 60s Chevrolets I have seen in quite awhile.  Yes, before you moan and groan that it is a 4 door, I wish it was a 2 door too!  However, I would much rather have a virgin, un-molested, honest 4 door than a thrown together 2 door for much more money that is full of rust and bondo!  Great car for Survivor class at car shows or vintage car tours.  Here is a great chance to get a 50s styled Chevy with big fins and lots of chrome that you can use right away and have fun at a very reasonable price!   Room for the whole family!  Remember, they are only original once!
