I’ve owned my girl for over 10 years now, with the restoration back to factory stock taking the last 2 years. Many, many thousands of dollars spent on her making sure I went above and beyond to ensure she is as close to possible as she was rolling out the factory door back in 1964.

An original code correct one colour car it has been freshly painted in factory Portsea Blue Metallic, with bone interior. All the exterior trim mouldings have either been replaced with OEM parts or tirelessly refurbished by Automotive Moulding Repairs & Polishing. It also has

boot lid,
grille,
front and rear bumpers,
front and rear licence plate panels.

All NOS taillights were used in the rear and correct NOS dog dish hubcaps are included.

Inside the cabin there have NEVER been any holes cut for speakers or aftermarket radios and the door trims are still original. New carpet was laid and a new headlining installed. The seats have been recovered earlier on in the restoration but have been very well looked after since. The list of items that have been recently refurbished include

steering wheel,
original air chief deluxe AM radio restored by Nostalgic Wireless,
dash clock and the dash cluster restored by Lionel Otto Instruments.

Many new and refurbished parts inside including

new pedal covers,

door handles and many nobs etc. were freshly chrome plated.

In the engine bay particular attention has been payed to ensure it is representative of a factory Bel Air as possible. The 283 engine has been completely rebuilt and balanced from ground up with the only modification being so that the heads could accept unleaded petrol and a harmonic balancer. The air cleaner has the original stamp (not the USA decal) on it that the Australian cars came with and all decals used are factory correct. Also rebuilt were

brakes,
power steering.

with the 2 speed Powerglide and diff only needing a full service.
