In other words, you can buy a classic Bel Air for less than $1,000, but bringing it back to the road is going to be challenging, to say the least.
This 1955 Bel Air is a 2-door hardtop that’s been sitting for decades. The owner says the car was last driven in 1987, but despite sitting for 36 years, it still comes in a fascinating condition.
Obviously, nobody should expect this Bel Air to be a perfect 10. That almost never happens, especially in the case of cars that spent decades in hiding.
But on the other hand, the most surprising tidbit is that this Bel Air survived the test of time in a pretty easy way, with the rust seemingly not a concern this time.
We’re not getting any information about the engine, but the seller claims the car is 98 percent complete. As such, this Bel Air flexes a rare mix, as it’s original, unmolested, and very complete.
eBay seller buckaroosky1956 has also configured a reserve, which means that the car wouldn’t sell below this secret value. Of course, we know nothing about the reserve, but it’s yet to be unlocked.
If you want to check out the Bel Air in person, you can find it in Sioux City, Iowa, at least until the end of the auction.
The car, which was found in a barn, retains this condition, so anyone who plans to take it home must also arrange transportation. The bidding is projected to end in 4 days, so it won’t take long to figure out if this Bel Air finds a new home.
