Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

291 Hemi, 4 bbl carb (needs accelerator pump repair), factory A C, P S, P B, P W, P Seat, automatic. A 1994 restoration that shows its age with dirty underhood presentation and chipped edges but is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Exceptiolly well equipped.

Market commentary

A Chevy Bel Air hardtop in this condition would bring $25,000 in an instant and it probably wouldnt have anything close to this Fireflites exceptiol options list. It probably doesnt all work (although the carb problem could be fixed for under $10) but this is a great value at anything close to this reported bid.
