This Chevy Bel Air wears the short-lived flat-top sedan roofline with rear overhang as opposed to the Impala's large rear-glass version. The previous owner of this 1961 Chevrolet Bel Air purchased it twenty-two years ago when only 19,000 miles were on the odometer. Currently, the car has 23,528 miles in total.
The exterior is finished in Sateen Silver paint and accented with a single, narrow white stripe. The interior is done in two-tone silver-white upholstery, with a chrome-handled floor shift with a white ball knob, Sun column-mounted tachometer, and OEM dash configuration. The rubber floor mats are original, along with the glass, bumpers, and trim.
This Bel Air was originally sold through Mernan Chevrolet in Buffalo, New York. The car has been given a concierge restoration and received a rebuilt 348 cubic-inch V8 engine with the correct Carter AFB carburetor, GM aluminum intake manifold, a 2.5-inch dual exhaust, correct 348 manifolds, and develops 340 horsepower. It is backed by a Muncie M21 4-speed manual transmission and a 3.70 Positraction rear axle.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2021
