1962 BelAir Bubbletop Sport Coupe. Authentic and all there. Just at the junction in time to doa restoration right the way the buyer feels fit.....or drive it Rat as I have.This is a pretty straight survivor, an original V8 equipped automatic transmission car. 327 with 3 speed auto.The car runs and drives. I take it out from time to time. We have owned this car for 4 years and have kept it in storage inside at all times never left outside once.It was a barn find in Illinois. We bought it and had it "new car" carried here. It has a 1986 L-82 Corvette aluminum manifoldwith a new Edlebrock carburetor and air cleaner which were there when we bought it. Otherwise all stock except for the exhaust (as far as I know).The 327 runs pretty beefy for stock so I suspect a cam change. Nice idle.I don't know if the engine has been worked but it is very very clean inside.All fluids are clear and the right color. Good power steering and battery.This car has never been offered for sale by us. White exterior (Ermine white) Aqua interior (Both factory colors). Most of the interior panels are present mostly intact but worn . Front and back seats need recovering. Any trim missing, panels, etc are included and carefully stored. I have removed the interior and outer trim to begin the chemical paint removal process.Screws are in baggies marked. The top has no dents and the body has very few. There is a dent in the drivers side front fender by the bumper.The rest of the car is straight and workable as is. No replacement panels and minimum bondo. There is rust and it will need to be addressed. Areas will need to be replaced.It is well worth the effort remember I bought it no regrets.California style one piece bumpers came on this car from the factory. It has a 3 piece on the front now.The original front bumper was stolen before we bought it and we have a replacementto go with as well as the mounts.Both bumpers will be included, the one presently on the car and the one piece replacement we bought.The windshield has been replaced (it was cracked).We bought 1962 6" station wagon wheels for it which are on the car. 409 offset add ons.The American Racing (centerline style) wheels it came with are here if you want them with caras are the fender skirts. There is a picture near the end showing the car the way we got it.Radio and lighter delete. Power seat.Power steering. All glass present. Needs headliner and carpet.Just about everything works but the left rear directional..bad ground? That being the horn, all headlights and tailights ,dash lights,power seat windshield wipers all work..the gas gauge is squirrelly though and reads full when it isn'tHad a new tank and straps and I haven't pulled it to troubleshoot.. This was my project car for retirement. I intended to keep it so I have treated it well.The car is drive-able and fully functional as is and has been registered each year with no taxes due.It currently has no insurance because my insurance company cancels it. It has shorty bullet glass packs and no pipes just mufflers.It runs pretty good but a 409 would do it justice. It needs restoration and has rust especially in the side pockets and rear lower quarters. The hood and trunk lid are eaten through at the very front and backThere are a few holes here and there but all is repairable.The corner under the left tailight is rusted out completelyThe trunk has rust deterioration poking through at the very front inside. about a 1/2 inch.I have a trunk cut from an original car as well as a left rear quarter from an original car.I have had body guys look at this and they told me it wasn't that bad, it looks worse than it is.There are also extra parts just in case. I removed the interior 2 weeks ago and it is all in boxes neatly identified as is the outer body trim.This is an ideal 409 project car as it is originally a V8 build.I don't think the rear is a posi trac as I see no P. I don't know the ratio.There is a lot more invested and I am trying to be as thorough as space allows without going on and on. I have changed direction in how I want to invest in our future.This was to be my retirement project until this week.I have other opportunities presented to me this week out of the bluethat I have chosen to pursue. It will require a substantial investment, more than we have on hand so I need the capital soon.There are a number of people that have expressed interest in purchasing this car. I would prefer you come here and get the car with your own trailer or flatbed personally. I would like to meet you and shake your hand and I would prefer real cash on the barrel head.That's what I would prefer anyway.That may not be realistic. Transport is your responsibility entirely. Whatever works for you. Cash or USPS Money Orders are preferred but by whatever payment method it must clear our bank first before I will release titleWe have a local bank that is old school and they wait two weeks sometimes to clear checks. Truth.There are no hidden problems or mechanical problems and the car has been babied since we got it.I have had a bunch of off eBay offers already. Everything I have stated is true and to the best of my ability I have been forthright.I have faithfully maintained my ownership and offer this to you, the next guy.Good Luck!
