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.

I have a ton of other pictures too, just ask.

GM veteran Bryan Nesbitt tapped to head Buick design
Sat, Jun 6 2015General Motors styling veteran Bryan Nesbitt (pictured above) took over a new role on Monday as executive director of global Buick design and global architectures. Andrew Smith, who previously did that job and also coordinated the look for Cadillac, has remained in charge of the pen at Caddy with this shift. Nesbitt rose to prominence when he designed the Chrysler PT Cruiser, according to Automotive News. He joined GM in 2001 and has been there ever since in multiple high-level roles. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of design for North America and was later briefly general manager of Cadillac in 2009-2010. Nesbitt took over as the vice president of GM's international operations design in China in 2011. This shuffle also moves Ken Parkinson, currently styling boss for Chevrolet trucks, to China as design vice president there. In addition, John Cafaro becomes the person in charge of the look for Chevy globally, rather than previously splitting that role between cars and trucks with Parkinson. GM Global Design Leadership Changes – effective June 1, 2015. Bryan Nesbitt, Design Vice President, GM China will repatriate to North America and assume the position of Executive Director, Global Buick and Global Architectures. He will be located in Warren, MI. Bryan will be the design Champion for Buick in the US and China. Ken Parkinson, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture will assume the position of Design Vice President, GM China. He will be based in Shanghai, China. Andrew Smith, Executive Director, Global Cadillac and Buick Design will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Cadillac. He will continue to be the design Champion for the Cadillac brand. In addition, he will continue to lead the Global Color & Trim team. He will be based in Warren, Michigan. John Cafaro, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Cars will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Chevrolet. He will be the design Champion for Chevrolet. In addition, John will lead the exterior components and accessories team. He will continue to be based in Warren, MI. The roles and responsibilities of Helen Emsley, Mark Adams, Carlos Barba, Clay Dean, Michael Simcoe, and Teckla Rhoades remain the same.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
GMC Hummer EV SUV first drive, RIP Camaro, Ferrari Roma Spider | Autoblog Podcast # 773
Fri, Mar 24 2023In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by News Editor Joel Stocksdale. They start off with one of the week's biggest official news items — the impending death of the sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro. On the subject of powerful American cars, they pivot to a teaser from Stellantis execs that there are big things ahead for its Dodge Charger SRT Daytona Banshee concept. From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV. He also had the new F-150 Lightning Pro in his driveway, and that's followed by Greg's update on Autoblog's long-term Toyota Sienna. Autoblog Podcast # 773 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown News Chevrolet Camaro production will officially end after 2024 model year Dodge CEO teases more to come from Charger SRT Daytona Banshee Ferrari Roma Spider returns a front-engined soft top to the lineup Ford Model e losing billions as it says EV unit should be seen as startup What we're driving Ford F-150 Lightning Pro 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV 2023 Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.
