 1964 Chevy Bel Air 2 door  Bought this car a few months ago to build myself a summer cruiser. The original 283 was old and tired so it was replaced with a rebuilt late 70's 350 with 4 bolt main. I went through the motor including new gaskets from oil pan to carb. New freeze plugs. I put on original set of ram horn exhaust manifolds as well. Dressed up in finned aluminum and painted red.  The whole engine compartment was sanded and painted flat black prior to installing engine. I also put on CPP disc brake kit in front including new master cylinder, stainless steel flex lines  and 8" dual power booster. Car stops on a dime! (Drum in rear have new pads and hardware too)  Originally had 3 speed on the tree. The tranny was shot so I bought a completely rebuilt 3 speed saginaw & installed a new gm repop chrome tilt column & moved shifter to the floor. I found original hurst competition shifter for it, shifts very smooth. Tranny was out of 76 gm truck, first gear is synchronized.

List of parts, some new: ($5,000 in receipts)

SBC 350 4 bolt main - extremely clean inside, have pictures to show, runs 195-210 all day.

Rebuilt 3 speed Saginaw

New center driveshaft bearing

New black carpet, 66 GTO black seat belts

New Taylor 8.2mm wires, plugs, HEI cap

Rochester Quadrajet works awesome, no sputtering, no coughing, no rough idle, no smoke, no vacuum issues. Fires right up.

New fuel, oil filters, polished aluminum overflow tank, new fluids front to back of car. Redline in tranny, Castrol GT oil in 350 and Castrol gear oil

New Die Hard battery, new starter

New gaskets- oil pan 1 piece blue, fuel pump, water pump, valve cover, carb...

All the pulleys, brackets, intake, fan shroud were taking off and sandblasted, them painted red or black. While radiator was out , whole radiator support was sanded & painted flat black.

Recently recovered black front split bench with folding arm rest. Back bench is very clean except for sun damage on just the top 6" inches.

New Boss 338 wheels and tires 17" in front 18" in back. Crosswind tires are 225/45/17 up front 245/40/18 in back, brand new probably 200 miles on them.

New slotted and drilled rotors up front, new master, prop valve, booster & fresh hard lines.

New chrome TILT column -floor shift

Original hurst competition floor shifter

Repainted dash and kick panels black, has impala glove box. (only difference is the chrome trim piece)

New Viper door popper kit professionally installed by Custom Car Alarms, it has shaved door handles and trunk. Driver and trunk use key fob passenger door has hidden switch. There is also a hidden manual cable release tucked away in case the battery dies, you always have a way in. Whoever buys the car will be told the location. 2 key fobs.

New 3 gauge pod, water, oil pressure and voltmeter works, fuel gauge works.

New front sway bar links

New complete exhaust system including glass packs and turn downs under the back seat, sounds ridiculously good. Was going for that 60's vibe. Exhaust is tucked up against the x frame and if you look at the car from the side you can't see anything! Less is more sometimes.

New chrome armrest bases and pads

Frame is painted flat black. All fittings are greased(steering, suspension and u joints)

KYB shocks all around.

Manual steering

Heater works 

Alpine CD player, one speaker in dash. nothing cut or hacked up, just very simple.

New black headliner in box made by PUI included, all bows are too.

Original black plates and fully registered and insured. (pic shows old whites but they now have correct DMV YOM 2 black plates)

New inner & outer tie rods, hardware, & sleeves.

 

 

It runs very well, could easily be daily driver. I built this to keep for myself so I kind of spent a lot of money trying to make it very reliable and fun. I just have too many cars so I have to let this one go. It needs very little to be "done" like hooking up speedometer(cable is there, just hook up at tranny), blinkers both light up at same time so I assume a wire is not grounding or something fairly simple. Lights work, high and low beam, wipers work, horn doesn't, dummy lights aren't Hooked up because I used the more accurate 3 gauge pod, brake lights work fine.

No rust in the floors or back window, package tray -which still has original paint.  Never cut, lowered, or hacked up either. I had to put in a hole for the new floor shifter of course, but that's done right too. The floors & trunk were cleaned and POR-15 solvent prepped and painted with etching primer. The trunk is 99% rust free, its unusually clean. New drain plugs and seam seal as well.

 Car is a blast to drive and somebody will really enjoy it. It is for sale locally, unfortunately I might have to end the auction soon so good luck bidding if you like it.


Quick video of underneath the car, it's pretty clean.
