Description
Lot #1282 - In 1962, the bubble top was reserved for the Biscayne and Bel Air models only. When the 409ci big-block V8 was bored out to one horsepower per cubic inch for 1962, the two features merged to make one of Chevy's all-time classic muscle cars. Here the 409/409hp bubble-top Chevrolet is at its best, a performance machine in the classic sleeper tradition. This car was produced at Chevrolet's Los Angeles, CA, plant. With a professional concours restoration, it is painted its original color of #914 Nassau Blue with matching interior. It is presented as ordered with a dual-quad, solid-lifter big-block 409ci power plant teamed up with a heavy-duty 4-speed manual transmission. Painted steel wheels with dog-dish hubcaps and blackwall tires, radio and heater delete and a column-mounted Sun tachometer emphasize the Bel Air's no-nonsense look. The Soft Ray tinted glass and California one-piece bumper add just the right amount of flair. The attention to detail is evident throughout this outstanding Bel Air bubble top 409. It has three Gold Spinner awards and one Best in Show.
