1960 Chevrolet Bel Air Resto Mod

Perhaps the most well-known nameplate in the automotive world, the Chevrolet Bel Air was produced from 1950 to 1975. For the fourth generation of Bel Airs — which ran for only two years, 1959 and 1960 — the Bel Air received a major redesign with flat, wing-shaped tailfins on the rear. Sticking with its classic 1960s styling, this Bel Air was given a custom twist.

Finished in Slate Gray with laser-straight body panels, this custom has collected multiple awards on the South East show car circuit for its thoughtful craftsmanship. Before entering the Grand Rapids Classics Auto Museum, this example resided in 'Gils Collector Car Collection,' kept in a private climate-controlled garage alongside 30 other astonishing custom builds. The lifeline of the build is a chrome-dressed 348 cubic-inch engine with Tri-power (three two-barrel carburetors) backed by a thrilling manual transmission.

It is equipped with a custom air ride adjustable suspension that allows the build to be lowered and raised when needed. Other notable features include custom-fabricated headers, a Kenwood Bluetooth stereo system, Vintage Air air-conditioning, Boss wheels with disc brakes, and custom upholstery throughout the interior.
