1960 Chevrolet Bel Air Sedan

For sale 1960 Chevrolet Bel Air Sedan
$9800

I have 1960 Bel Air 2 door post sedan that is turnkey, driven often and currently Connecticut registered. Though I love this car, I have decided to sell it to raise funds so I can purchase my Dad’s ’31 Chevy from him, he needs to liquidate and we have decided to keep his car in the family.

I loaned the car to American Autowire in New Jersey and they used it for R&D to develop their latest complete wiring harness product for this model line. In exchange, they completely professionally rewired the car from bumper to bumper. They used this car for photos in their 58-60 Impala Classic Update kit install manual. They did a 5-6 part YouTube series with it that can be seen online. They also told me that Lowrider magazine did a “how to” photo shoot with it while they had it, but they have not run the article yet.

What it needs?
- Paint job. It’s in epoxy primer now which actually looks pretty good as is. Car is pretty close to being ready for paint. Few bubbles starting to appear in the primer from it sitting out. The poor car needs final paint, shouldn't be sitting in primer
- Door cards are crumby, but presentable IMO, need to reface them at some point or just buy replacements from Ecklers.
- Door glass is uninstalled. I have one which is mirror image of other to use as template, or purchase one new (cheap).
- Needs a door weather-stripping kit (cheap)
- Carpet needs to be installed (I have it...in BLACK, new in box)
- I have a roll of sound deadener (to go under carpet).

Car is fast and 90% done, just needs some TLC to finish it off.

Please contact me if you have an interested. Car is in Conn Connecticut.
