1963 Chevrolet  Bel Air Wagon Barn Find!

Below is a list of the equipment on the car:

• 283 V8 2bbl

• Powerglide Automatic Transmission

• AM Radio.

• Weld Drag Lite Wheels.

• 6 Passenger 2 seat Wagon.

This car was pulled earlier this year from the same spot in Montana where it had sat since it was last registered in 1979 (the license plates showed a 1980 expiration) . It comes with the original owners manual and protection plan and some paper work from previous owners. It was sold new in Missoula MT (has dealer emblem on tailgate that matches the original paperwork.)  I am the third owner. The last owner bought it in 1976.

My intention was to restore it but I have other projects and would rather it go to someone that will take it to the next level. It would be a great candidate to swap in a built motor.

 Condition wise the car has rust the bottoms of the front fenders, spare tire well,  the doors have some rust on the driver’s bottom corner as well as a spot ahead of the rear wheel on the drivers side. The frame and floors appear to be very clean other than the one small (nickel size) hole on the passenger side and a spot at the end of the drivers and passengers side floor brace. There are some dents on the driver’s side doors and the rear corner on the driver’s side has small hole in the rear corner where it was pulled on. There is a soft dent on the rear quarter on the passenger side. The paint is weathered with some patina. The chrome bumpers and stainless trim are in nice shape and free of pitting. The interior has a cracks in the dash and the front seat has a cover as its not in good shape the back seat is in good shape except for the top corner, the door panels also show some wear. the headliner is in very nice shape with one small inch long tear. The windshield is cracked but the rest of the glass is in nice condition. The one rear bumper corner is bent but I have another one that goes with the car. Some of the side trim is missing you can see the clips still on the car in the pictures. All the doors and windows operate freely including the tailgate.  It has a new master cylinder, new NOS tail light lenses and wheels and tires. The wheels are 15 inch Weld drag lites, the tires have 85-90% of their tread and are in very good condition with hardly any use . I also have all 5 of the original 14x6 Wagon/409 specific wheels if someone is interested to buy them separately. The car is very original. It runs and drives (engine actually idles quietly) but, the engine smokes. I have driven it a few miles and it steers straight and drives well. The transmission shifts well through the gears. But, It should not be driven more than a few miles because the engine smokes and before having the rest of the brake system checked. 

It has a current title and registration.
