There were 47,562 Bel Air's created. They were originally available with a six-cylinder engine that produced 115 horsepower. They came in a two-tone paint scheme and two-tone interior. As the years progressed the Bel Air was available with a variety of engine sizes, including the V8 which was normally reserved for the Corvette.
The Chevrolet Bel Air was a very dramatic and bold vehicle with many recognizable features such as the rocket-inspired twin spear ornaments inset on the hood, and the chrome outlined rear tailfins.
This vehicle has been treated to a full frame-off restoration that occurred during the mid-2000s. It is finished in Tropical Turquoise with a matching white interior and white canvas convertible top. The engine is original, restored, and the desirable Power Pack four-barrel carburetor setup, offering 220 horsepower when needed. There is power steering, power top, a Powerglide automatic gearbox and four-wheel drum brakes. It was brought to the 2007 Monterey Sports & Classic Car Auction presented by RM Auctions, where it had an estimated value of $75,000 - $100,000. It was offered without reserve. As the gavel fell the lot had been sold for a high bid of $71,500 including buyer's premium. | |
