[Dave Castine]

Priced at $72,000 - Pretty rare 62 BelAir Bubbletop 409/409 Dual quad car, 4:11 rear, believed to still have the original drivetrain, original shifter long gone, owner still has the orig exhaust manifolds, ceramic coated headers are installed in the car currently.

Car belongs to a close friend in Temecula, CA - great guy. Here is his description:

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CAR (Located there currently)
Exceptionally well restored and detailed example of one of the most highly desirable performance cars produced during an era in which the “big block” muscle car reigned supreme. Below is a comprehensive list of the many new, rebuilt and reconditioned components of this beautiful, legendary automobile. All work was launched/completed with reliability, performance and re-marketability in mind; nothing has been overlooked. It starts with exceptional ease, sounds absolutely awesome at idle and operates well within a reasonable temperature range during 100+ degree Southern California summer days. The advanced stage of tune and upgraded power disk braking system ensure a combination of spirited acceleration and appropriately predictable stopping power.

This multi-time "Award of Excellence" winner, along with its accompanying paperwork, would disappoint no suitably discriminating buyer. Please consider the following restoration details and snapshots.
