Thread: 1960 Chevy Bel Air BBC post sedan - Looking to TRADE

Tweet

Location: Connecticut Price: $8000
For Sale but prefer to TRADE. I am really hoping to find a 30’s sedan (or rumble seat) rod in similar condition or comparable value to this car. I need that back seat for the kids. Projects may be considered.

I have 1960 Bel Air post sedan that is turnkey, driven and currently CT registered. Though I love this car, I'm thinking about getting more into some sort of rod similar to what my Dad always had when I was kid. The Bel Air does need finishing, basically exterior paint. I’ve already done all of the hard work and spent a ton of money on it so far. I have listed more info on the car below.

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. In exchange, they completely professionally rewired the car from bumper to bumper. It’s the car they used for photos in their 58-60 Impala Classic Update kit install manual and they did a YouTube series with it that can be seen online, I think it’s a 5-6 part series. 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.

Some more pics (and video) here:
Note:Some of these pics were taken as I was putting it together, the car is pretty much intact now minus some odds and ends.

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.
-Various pieces of side trim, I have a box of trim peices, need some more depending on trim option package you want on it
-Needs a small patch (2”x4”) in bottom inside of trunk fender wells, I’ll probably end up doing it over the next week or so. Looks like water got in and settled.
-Door cards are decent, but personally I’d reface them at some point. They aren’t installed yet.
- Door glass uninstalled. Missing one side, I have one which is mirror image of other to use as template, or purchase one new (cheap).
-Assholes at alignment shop stripped two lug nuts using air gun (minor)
-Needs a door weather-stripping kit
-Carpet needs to be installed (I have it)

I would sell for right price but really looking for trades. Since I need a price let's just say $8000. But TRADE is what I’m after here, cash in my hand would probably get pissed away on bills right now and I don’t want to do that. Let me know if interested. Car is in Conn Connecticut.
