I HAVE A 1961 CHEVY BELAIR 2 DOOR THAT I BOUGHT LAST YEAR FROM MY BROTHER IN LAW. I WAS PLANNING ON DOING A LITTLE WORK ON IT AND DRIVING IT BUT MY TIME IS SO TIGHT RIGHT NOW. THE INSPECTION STICKER SAYS THIS WAS A TEXAS CAR. MY BROTHER IN LAW HAS HAD IT AROUND 20 YEARS, BUT COULD NO LONGER DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF HEALTH REASONS.IT HAS BEEN SETTING SINCE 2006 WHEN IT WAS LAST ON THE ROAD. IT STARTS AND RUNS GOOD AND SOUNDS VERY STRONG. IT HAS A 283 CI V-8 WHICH I WAS TOLD HAS POWER PACK HEADS . IT ALSO HAS HEADERS AND DUAL EXHAUST WITH ALUMINUM INTAKE AND 4 BARREL CARB. IT IS A POWER GLIDE TRANNY. THE CAR NEEDS TO BE GONE OVER RELLY GOOD BEFORE DRIVING TO CHECK THE BRAKES AND EXHAUST AND ALL THINGS TO MAKE IT SAFE TO DRIVE. AFTER ALL IT HAS SET FOR 8 YEARS. THE CAR IS VERY SOUND WITH VERY LITTLE RUST GOING THRU THE METAL. IT HAS A FEW PLACES THAT THE SURFACE RUST HAS COME OUT MOSTLY AROUND THE CHROME.THE HEADLINER AND DOOR PANELS ARE OK BUT THE SEATS NEED NEW COVERS. THE CARPET IS ALSO GOOD BUT IS FADED. IT WILL NEED TIRES SOON AND PROBABLY MUFFLERS. THIS CAR COULD BE ON THE ROAD AND DRIVING IN JUST A LITTLE TIME SPENT. IT WOULD BE A GREAT CAR TO RESTORE BECAUSE IT IS VERY SOLID . THE DOORS AND TRUNK AND HOOD ALL WORK GOOD ALL THE GLASS IS GOOD ALSO.THE CAR WAS PAINTED ALMOST 20 YEARS AGO AND HAS HELD UP PRETTY DESCENT. I AM TRYING TO SELL IT BECAUSE I JUST HAVE TOO MANY IRONS IN THE FIRE RIGHT NOW. I HAVE TRIED MY BEST TO DESCRIBE IT THE BEST I KNOW HOW. I HAVE INCLUDED PICTURES THAT SHOW EVERYTHING PRETTY GOOD. WITH A GOOD PAINT JOB AND NEW INTERIOR THIS COULD BE A VERY NICE CAR. I MIGHT TAKE A PARTIAL TRADE ON A NICE JEEP CJ OR A REAL GOOD 4W DRIVE TRUCK OR SUV. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE WITH PICS AND WE SHALL SEE. I FEEL THAT THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE HAULED BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY FACTOR.
