Nice Day 2 '62 409 Bubbletop, Mostly Orig Paint
Factory 6-cyl car, but you sure don't see original paint '62 bubbletops on every corner. Judging by the prices I see of project cars, this seems to be a pretty fair deal. One of 3825 ordered with the 6 that year.

The price guides are pretty much right when they say to add 75% to the value for a 409. Of course, that doesn't mean the car has to be real. It just has to have those funny shaped valve covers under the hood and everyone opens their wallets. This car is a perfect example. An up front clone. No false claims.

Verne, what is the deal with the 3 piece bumpers on California cars? I have seen a number of them with 3 piece bumpers, did they sub the 3 piece for the one piece for a time or have they just been swapped put over the years?

As far as I know, all the originals were one piece. Lots of things got changed on these cars after they were new. Even the "original" cars.

Bid to $49,5k the last time around, and relisted in the link below with a $60k buy-it-now. Sounds like the seller is taking offers if the car doesn't hit the reserve.
I still think this is a pretty fair deal if it could be bought around $50k. There are just so few nice ones around, and to see one with some original paint is pretty rare. Link to 1962 Bel Air Bubbletop auction

Almost purchased this car around 2007-ish for $30K when it still had the 6-cylinder still in it. It was far from the ideal color combination but it did appear to be one of nicest, unmolested examples that I’ve encountered in a very long time that hadn’t been transformed into a poorly-done 409 clone like countless others . . . yet.

I wonder if it comes with a hood?
