1962 CHEVROLET BEL AIR BUBBLE TOP

With its plain-wrapper bundling and crossed-banner “409” bumper insignias, the 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air offered here harkens back to the processing plant-basher Super Stock hot rods of Bill Jenkins, “Dyno Don” Nicholson and Hayden Proffit. An extraordinary radio erase auto, it has been greatly restored in casing-off vogue and resurfaced in eye-getting Roman Red with a Red standard vinyl and fabric seat inside.

Chevy's fabulous 409 CI vast square V-8 fills the motor bayou, nourishing on double quad carburetion to convey its 409 steeds to a 4-speed manual transmission. Standard period touches incorporate radiator erase, deck-mounted mill shifter, beneath-dash helper checks, an extraordinary section-mounted Sun 7,000 RPM tachometer and profound-dish painted steel wheels with traveler-auto tops and Blackwall tires.
