QUALITY '58 BEL AIR, 348 TRI-POWER V8, 4 SP MANUAL, R134 AC, PS, FACT. COLORS!

Description

Owning a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air coupe is already a mark of distinction. But when yours has been restored to the highest standard where the exterior is radiating shine, the interior is quite correct (with the addition of A/C), and the motor has been upgraded to big-block tri-power with a four-speed... well then, you know this is an amazing all-around classic.
The '58 Bel Air looks terrific in its factory-correct Honey Beige. This is thanks to a nice restoration that took the time to get the kind of gloss that really highlights the dramatic one-year-only styling. More than just the paint, there's a high quality finish all around, so the doors fit extremely well, the gaps are even, and the sheetmetal is crisp. Against the glossy paint paint, you can bet a small fortune was spent making sure that bumpers shined like mirrors, the grille had a 10,000-watt smile, and the upgraded Impala-style trim remains an unbroken line as it artfully runs down the profile and merges with the extra long tailfins. But this is much more than just a solid execution of an American classic, and the 15-inch American Racing Torq Thrust wheels are your first clue.
Inside, you'll find more big investments in a correct presentation. For example, the gold vinyl with comfortable black cloth inserts are factory-correct, but you know there is no way they could last 60 years and still look this great. Plus, the dash, headliner, and carpeting all have the same fresh feeling of money well spent. Everything looks period-correct, right down to the artful steering wheel and AM radio that's still cranking out tunes. But because this is a full-sized coupe that's perfect for sharing with family and friends, you'll be glad they also upgraded to modern R134a air conditioning. Then again, the Hurst shifter on the floor tells you this was also upgraded to be a driver's car.
While you'll want to show off the interior and exterior, we bet the engine bay will give you the most pride. 1958 is a very desirable year because it was the first time the big block V8 was available in passenger cars. If you were really lucky, a 348 cubic-inch motor came with the tri-power (triple two-barrel carburetor) you see here. And because this is so desirable, there was plenty spent to give this engine upgrade and upgraded presentation. Correct Rochester carburetors, a bold orange block, and iconic Offenhauser ribbed valve covers makes this look like the ultimate street king for '58. Plus, you have all the right upgrades to support this big block, like the twin pusher fans to help keep it cool. And the four-speed manual transmission means you're in complete control of this powerhouse. Add in power steering and the modern grip of Hankook Optimo tires, and this is an all-around terrific cruiser.
Complete with owner's manual, you're looking at everything you want in a '58 Bel Air and so much more. But there's only one of these very unique coupes up for grabs, so hurry and call today!
