62 Belair bubble top 409
 

Need to know ASAP the value of a Cherry 62 bubble top Belair. Dual quad, 4 speed, 4.11 posi 409 I'm thinking of buying it & don't know what its worth. I'm assuming that its a clone. But done so well that it's hard to tell. Production numbers would also be helpful this car is a 10. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

<font color="blue">I know 2 people with 409 clones like that.
One paid $28,000 the other paid $30,000.
Both beautiful cars &amp; well worth it.
GOOD LUCK https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif</font>

Is it turqoise ?? You will not find a truly perfectly restored car for 30k IMO...I have seen a very high quality car in the upper 40's as recenly as a few weeks ago...either way...you get what you pay for...lets see some pics

------Out that way, Im wondering if its Jim Mattisons old 09er. It was a red bubble. It went to Cal., and the last I heard he was trying to get it back. Seems to me price would have been somewhat higher than those mentioned, tho, as it was a spectacular example (not that those mentioned arent)............Bill S

This is a Roman Red/Red frame off car.To be honest I'm trying to save this piece of history from the present owner who wants to cut the floor tunnel to install a five speed. trans, power steering,&amp; some other incorrect things to this beautiful 09.I', thinking that the car is worth about $40-50,000 range.I wonder how many of these were built in 62? &amp; yes I'm located in Calif.

-----That red/red part sounds like Jims 09er alright. That contemplated work would kill him if its his!.........Bill S

I posted pics of a red/red 62 BT 409 dual quad car some time back. It sold and went to CA i think. Does it have radio/heater/door lock delete by chance. If so it might be the same car that was here and that Boyd did the resto on a few years back.

Yes it sure sounds like the same car! I'm really having a time of this makeing up my mind.I only wish I could determain the correct value.I own an auto repair business &amp; right now its parked in my shop &amp; tempting the hell out of me. I feel like the character in that movie Christene.Who gets possesed by a car. But in this cae its a red Chevy not a Plymouth LOL.Anyway I need to find out all I can about it before I decide marry this thing.Regards Lou https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Heres the ad from the paper here before it was sold if its the same one. Might call and see if it did sale or still for sale just the same. I know he came down in price for the car compared to what he listed.

I also have some pics of the car someplace I try to find and send to you.

------The red/red car Im thinking of would be priced at wholesale at that $46,000 price, in my opinion. If it can be bought for that and everything points the right direction I say "buy it"!
------Whats getting done at your shop? At least it allows you great access to car this way..........Bill S
