I am selling my project car that I have had for nearly 5 years because I have finally given up on the dream of getting it finished.  My original intentions were to strip it down and make a drag car out of it, but $$$ got to be a little too much for me. I have lost interest in this project and would like to see someone with the desire to get it back on the road have a chance.

Here are the details:

1966 Chevrolet Bel Air (Biscayne/Impala) 2 door

350 V8/TH350 Auto - Engine is out of a 1980 Chevy truck that had very low miles. Has a mild cam, Performer intake, and Edelbrock 750 carb. Has headers, but NO exhaust. Trans works good (when last driven) and has a shift kit.  Car has a 12 bolt rear. Also has newer tires on the front and completely bald tires on the rear (275/60/15). Wheels are GM ralleys. Car has an awesome stance and looks great. Note: The mileage listed in the description is a guess because Ebay required you to put something.  The odometer reads 24000 but actual miles are unknown.

The interior leaves a little to be desired.  It is all there, but it is all in rough shape.  Seats need recovered, headliner needs replaced, door panels look a little rough, etc..

The body appears to be in good shape, as does the paint.  There are a few dings as you can see in the pictures:                                                                                                                        1. the front valance in front of the hood has a scratch with missing paint.                                                                                                                                                                                 2. on the driver's side rear quarter panel, there is a spot where the paint is cracked from something hitting it that was in the trunk                                                                                        3. on the trunk lid there is what looks like a ding from a bullet???

All of these things were there when I purchased the car.  The trunk appears to be in good shape, as do the floorboards (the photo shows rust, but it looks like surface rust only on the drivers side). 

The car needs a starter and a battery to run, and needs a serious tune-up to run good.  I believe the valves need to be reset as this motor has not even been broken in since the cam was installed.  I am honestly just completely burnt out on cars and have no interest in fixing these simple things.

This would make the perfect project car for someone.  It would probably take too much to make a show car (my opinion) but would make an excellent driver/drag car/resto-mod. Much cheaper than a Camaro, Chevelle, Nova, Corvette, etc.

There are a couple things that will be included with the car: 1. I have a brand new trunk seal for it as the one on it needs replaced. 2. a large aftermarket front sway bar (not sure of brand, might be Hotchkiss???). I removed this as I was trying to make the front end lighter for racing.

I do have a pair of Moser axles for this car that I am listing separately, but will sell to the buyer of the car if you want them. 

I know I am forgetting things so please ask if you have questions. 

All Sales are Final and everything is being SOLD AS IS.  Please ask any questions BEFORE bidding.  It is up to the BUYER to arrange for pick up or shipping.
