Used Chevrolet Bel Air for Sale near Chicago, IL

I am absolutely thrilled with this car. This is a car that won't let you down as long as you take care of it. Sure, it was in a small fender-bender at some point during its life, and the cheap paint a past owner put on it is tacky at best. Even so, I love the styling of the car. The curves which billow out around both wheel wells are an elegant touch that you'd be hard-pressed to find on any modern automobile, and the typical late '60s quad headlights and tri-pointed chrome nose of the car look downright aggressive. Despite the fact that the car weighs two tons, the V8 pulls it along smoothly and effortlessly. If you drive with the windows rolled up, all you will hear from the engine is a dull roar, if the car still has the stock muffler. Even on rough or bumpy roads, this Bel Air gives a nice, smooth ride. Typical of older vehicles, the 1969 Bel Air can be completely disassembled with a phillips head screwdriver and a good ratchet set. Because of this, anything short of engine or transmission work can be done by the average Joe in his own garage. The '69 Bel Air was originally rated at 12 miles per gallon in the city, but I've found that even with a 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission and the stock Rochester 2-barrel carburetor, I can get upwards of 15 MPG on a regular basis if I take it easy. The power steering in this vehicle is the smoothest I've ever felt, even after driving much newer (and smaller) vehicles for friends or family. My car wasn't ordered with power brakes, but even so, I've had no trouble stopping when I needed to. Even on the worst days out on the road, heat buildup never got to unsafe levels while braking, and there was no noticeable pedal fade. All this, and it only cost me $900!

The car looks mean from the front grill all the way back to the rear fender. Chrome fenders and emblems. Gas mileage was better than what you would expect from such a big car. Has been in the shop very few times for maintenance. The cars performance was unimaginable. It accelerated beautifully with a wonderful muscle car sound. Its a beauty to drive.

these cars have quite abit of power. their qualiy is very good and they are strongly built. cost is kinda high to own one. but aint to bad. these cars a very fun to drive especially if u turn them into a hot rod.

no guts,no glory
