This '59 Belair has 100% RUST FREE original floors including the trunk floor. 100% original body panels.  Shipped in from California in 2004 to my location here in Bethlehem Connecticut. The car was painted in it's original Saphire Blue/Crestwood white back in 1986 in California and is still holding up well.I do see very small amount fo bubbling under the paint in the quater panels as seen in the photo but extremely small.  The car still looks awesom! Originally started life as a 6 cylinder 3 speed car now transformed into period correct muscle car.

What I have here is a project car that needs to be completed.  This is currenty a non running/driving car. The motor, transmission and rear end are all installed in the car. The engine compartment is detailed to original specs and is totally breath taking to see in person!! The Engine has been run and tested on a dyno {I saved all machine work and dyno test result sheets}  but not run in car. All you need to do to make it run is buy a battery and add some gas to the tank. You will also need to bleed the brakes. The interior kits need to be installed. The hood {which is in totally perfect original condition} needs to be painted in the correct Saphire blue and the exhaust needs to be purchased and installed. This is a 100% original 348 hood with the correct factory drilled holes for the x-flag emblems.

Though not perfect, This car is a real beauty with nearly perfectly straight body lines. An original California car with perfect floors and a very rare 348 Big block tri-power 4 speed with Posi-traction drivetrain. I am sure with some work this car will be a show stopper as well as a excellent investment. The hard work is done, you just got to finish this project.

Please give me a call 203-597-7360 for more questions. I invite anyone interested to take a drive out and see the car in person. You won't be dissapointed!

You will have to trailer this car back to your location. I am located in Bethlehem Connecticut.

Thanks for looking!!!

I do see very small amount of bubbling under the paint in exactly the same on both L&R quater panels, very small as seen in the photo. As stated the car was repainted back in 1986 almost 30 years ago. The job has held up very well during all this time.

The clutch pedal as a notching feeling when pushed in. I'm not sure why that has developed... possibly as the car has been sitting in my garage for a extended lenght of time, I'm sure it's an easy fix.
