What you're looking at is opportunity. This 1960 Chevrolet Bel Air wagon is your chance to have one classic that can carry the family and cargo in one vintage vehicle. And since this wagon has been upgraded with serious big block power, an overdrive transmission, and a custom interior, this is the one classic that your practical and passionate sides can agree on. Turning grocery-getters into go-fast machines is an art. The best way erase the suburban blues...is by investing in a bold red. And that's just the beginning. The white on the roof shows a hint of classic two-tone style. And speaking of classic elegance, these Bel Airs have some terrific brightwork and trim all around. Wraparound bumpers, symmetrical front end with the headlights boldly out in front, and the airplane-inspired side trim that signaled we were firmly in the jet age - it's all part of a very distinct package today. And our favorite original piece has to be the trim that starts at the front door, and it doesn't stop until it wraps around the rear and onto the tailgate. It's one of the most daring forms ever put to sheetmetal, and it remains looking crisp on this wagon today. And while this has a great vintage look, there's an upgrade to large Torq Thrust wheels with an aggressive 18/20-inch front/rear stagger. When combined with the lowered stance, this it does a terrific job of announcing this distinct classic also is hiding a powerful secret. Inside, two rows of bench seats are a nod to this one's family hauler past. But now the experience is nicely upgraded thanks to comfy cloth inserts for where you sit. The gray on the seats coordinates with the door panels, dash, carpeting, and headliner for a very thoughtful presentation. And that huge rear cargo area is also finished in gray, so feel free to load up the tailgating equipment when not showing off this Chevy. Because this is a car you'll want to share with family and friends, there are features to keep them entertained like an AM/FM/CD stereo and provisions for air conditioning. But the best treats are reserved just for you. The cool custom steering wheel gives you a great view of the dash. Chevy had a nearly European-style setup with the deep individual pods, and this one has been improved on with the large factory speedo now flanked by newer AutoMeter readouts. There's even a large AutoMeter Sport-Comp tach at mounted on the side. It all tells you there's something special under the hood. This was born a V8 wagon, but it never had anything this wicked from the factory. The engine bay is filled with big block power, and thanks to the polished components, you'll proudly show it off. Not only do you have a 454 cubic-inch V8, but it has also been upgraded with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and hi-rise aluminum intake. So this mighty V8 makes plenty of power, and it also gives a sweet rumble to the side-exit dual exhaust. More than just pure power, this is also a thoughtful all-around build. That's why you have great supporting features like an aluminum radiator w/electric fans and a four-speed automatic transmission w/highway-friendly overdrive. Plus, there's power steering, power brakes, and new performance tires for superior grip. This is the perfect classic. After all, you'll convince everyone that you bought a versatile family vehicle with plenty of cargo space. But really it's the big power that sold you. Since there are plenty of people who want to disguise their dream car as a practical classic, you should hurry and call today!
