GarageScout Take

This Bel Air has been modified with a 350 small-block and a recently rebuilt Powerglide transmission indicating drivetrain updates that may not appeal to a purist looking for originality. The very low mileage since the transmission rebuild is positive.

Strengths

Recent rebuild of the Powerglide automatic transmission with minimal miles
Fresh grille and carpeting installed relatively recently
Low usage (5,650 miles) on the car overall
Polished aftermarket American Racing wheels complement the appearance

Watch For

Missing heater core
Inoperative gas gauge
Refurbishment and modifications performed prior to current ownership, limiting clarity on restoration quality and originality
