1962 Preserved for over 60 Yrs

[63409]

Just FYI the reproduction floor pans and braces are only correct for 63-64. the 62 had unique floor pans especially the SS models. 1962 front seat mounting braces are not currently reproduced. You are lucky to have the original floor in your 62, You will always be able to brag that it is original. reproduction, replacement floor pans are very easily identified in a 62.

I didn’t know that

As usual It looks better than the day it came off the assembly line.

Pretty car Brian……. did I miss something……I don’t remember you mentioning this car before……. tell me a little something about it Brian….??

Here are some photos of this car from the Original owner from 1962 look how low she sits

That's a neat mild custom. The original owner must have had some serious disposable income. Tuck & roll interior, extra chrome under the hood, tube grill and Lucas headlights up front, Lee tail light lenses out back, Hurst shifter and more auxiliary gauges than Carter had liver pills. Cut down springs and nice chrome reverse wheels and spiders...later updated to mag wheels (Torque Thrust or Super Stock, maybe), minor de-badging.
Did I miss anything?

Unfortunately, I did not Joe The previous owner got rid of these wheels about 10 years ago and he had them in the basement and thought he would never use them.when I purchased the car it had Crager SS wheels on it but not so nice. Here is photo of the Belair after being painted in 89
