1964 CHEVROLET BEL AIR 2DR. POST! VERY COOL CAR!
I bought this car literally from the "little old lady" who bought it brand new just up the road here in Dubois County, N. (have original Indiana title still in her name). She used it to drive to the grocery and to church. I know, know... sounds way too familiar of a story but it literally had a pile of church bulletins under the front seat and grocery bags folded up in the trunk.She parked it under her car port years ago and there it has sat ever since. I had good intentions for this project but too many factors have come up to complete it.
Here is what I know about this sweet little car:
THE GOOD:
This car starts right up! Runs and drives fantastic! Runs smooth and floats like a big old comfy boat!
Original 250 6 cyl. (engine has no smoke and 102k original miles).
I installed a new (Napa parts) fuel pump, as tank, ending unit, attery, ront brake lines, ront wheel cylinders, aster cylinder and more.
Automatic trans.shifts great!
Body is pretty straight and solid overall! Has a few rust spots here and there but nothing extremely serious. Rockers are solid!
Glass is 100% perfect!
Doors close nicely and click shut. Car had 1 repaint in its life and it was an "Earl Sheib" style paint job. Original baby blue paint shows in a few spots and door jambs.
Everything works. All lights, auges, I/LO beams, aillights, rake lights, ash lights, arning lights, ack up lights and so on.
Frame under the car is ROCK SOLID!!! Cowl area is perfect! Inner fender areas are SOLID. Floors were 90% RUST FREE. I did however weld in a couple ofsmall patches on some small spots of rust before installing a new OEM carpet.The original carpet was extremely sun faded when I removed it to do the floor repairs so I replaced it with new OEM carpet.
All glass is PERFECT!!
THE BAD:
Trunk floor is RUSTY and thin in several places. Some holes starting. I sprayed a light primer over it to try and highlight the bad areas.
Trunk lid is VERY RUSTED.
Rear quarter panel inner drip rails are toast. Both sides.VERY RUSTED along the area where the lower trunk lid meets the trunk floor. Still latches with a flat screwdriver (lock is gone).Drivers side, ear body mount bushing area looks bad. Doesn't really effect anything I guess. Just noteworthy.
All the replacement panels are very inexpensive and readily available for most of these areas. I just don't have enough time to do all the work so I drive it just the way it is.
I thought the car would be a super cool SLEEPER/PRO STREET car and build a new trunk floor with mini tubs and a 409ci/700R combo.That's about it.Feel free to make a "reasonable" offer. I would like to see someone enjoy it.Car is sold "As Is" and "Where Is". No warranty expressed or implied obviously BUT if you are in the area you are welcome and encouraged to come and physically inspect the car anytime you like.I'm not an expert on these things so PLEASE ask or request addition pics if you need them. I'm happy to do that anytime. Trying to cover every square inch of a large, ntique car can be difficult so bare with me.Nothing to hide here and we can take it out on the curvy, ountry roads or the interstate.Call me with any other questions: (812)631-77nine zero
Paying:I prefer cash in hand and a handshake but will take a cashiers' check or bank-to-bank wires and I will work with you from start to finish 100% on shipping the car. However shipping costs are buyers responsibility.INTERNATIONAL BUYERS ARE WELCOME!NO PAYPAL UNLESS YOU PAY THE FEES! I DO NOT LIKE PAYPAL AND I THINK THEIR FEES ARE OUTRAGEOUS! IF YOU WANT TO USE PAYPAL, OU WILL HAVE TO BE LIABLE FOR THE EXTRA FEES. SORRY...BUT IT'S UNREAL WHAT THEY CHARGE FOR BASICALLY DOING NOTHING.Thanks.
