Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE This Bel-Air is very special to me. As a lifelong car enthusiast and collector, I have had a lot of cars. This one is beyond nice and must be seen to be appreciated. I’m getting ready to start a new project, and have limited room in my shop.

This was a quality restoration done by a professional, certified mechanic. The paint is like glass, and so deep you could fall into it. This was a complete frame off restoration, every bolt, nut, everything was taken apart and re-furbished. The restoration took 2 years. It was completed in 2007. Since then, the car has been kept in a temperature controlled shop and only driven to car shows or on an occasional short outing. Pictures are available of the complete restoration. I have all receipts for the work done on this car.
