Vehicle Detail

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! Please call me with questions: Cell: 704-661-1326 Cell service can be spotty, so leave me a message if not in, or send me a message through Ebay messaging with your phone number. IMPORTANT: PHONE CALLS ONLY, NO TEXTS. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TEXT and don't want to learn. NOW FOR THE RULES: If you have questions or need clarification on anything, get answers BEFORE you bid. Please don't bid, then try to change them afterward. If you don't intend to abide by the rules, please look elsewhere. 1. Your bid is a contract! If you are the successful bidder, you are expected to pay! Please have all contingencies handled and your money in place BEFORE you bid! No retractions will be allowed, so be sure BEFORE you bid! 2. A NON-REFUNDABLE $1000 partial payment is due within 48 hours of auction's conclusion. This can be by bank wire transfer or cashiers check. Pay Pal is NOT acceptable for this. 3. Balance is due within 7 days of auction's close. This can be by bank wire transfer, cashiers check or cash in person. If you are paying balance upon pickup of car, it must be cash in person. 4. Car and paperwork will not leave here until paid in full with cleared funds. If you are paying with ANY kind of check, it must clear MY bank before car or title will be released. No exceptions! 5. Car is sold strictly as-is at my premises with no guarantee or warranty of any kind. 6. Transportation is the buyer's responsibility. I will try to reasonably help and accommodate you any way I can, but it is still YOUR responsibility. 7. If you cannot pick up car immediately, that is fine, it can be left here for a reasonable period. However, it still must be paid for within the 7 days, and you should secure insurance as I cannot be responsible for loss or damage due to circumstances beyond my control or act of God. 9. Car is advertised locally for sale. If I find a buyer through that venue, I reserve the right to end auction early. Please call me at 704-661-1326 Cell with any further questions about this. Leave message if not in. IMPORTANT: PHONE CALLS ONLY. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TEXT. 10. Due to the age of this vehicle, the ownership document is a transferrable registration. This is proof of ownership of all vehicles this model year. This will be reassigned to the new owner. I am sorry for all the rules, but it seems that 5% of difficult people spoil it for the 95% who are good. Thanks very much for l NO RESERVE! NO RESERVE! NO RESERVE! ABOUT ME: I have been a collector and enthusiast of Postwar American cars for nearly 40 years! I maintain a "rotating collection" of 6 to 10 such vehicles. Sometimes I sell one out of the collection to make way for a new arrival. I favor un-restored original "Survivor" cars from the late 1950s to mid 1970s.
