For sale, 1953 Chevrolet Belair 4 door. 235 in line 6 cylinder with 3 speed shift on the column. This isn't a show car but a good solid driver. I recently did a 200 mile endurance test run around the Lynchburg Va. area and it performed nicely in the mountains. It cruises comfortably at 55-60 on the highway (3.73:1 diff. gears). The car has a very comfortable ride and handles well. Engine runs nice and cool in the 95+ weather we've been having. Very nice interior and respectable paint. Car is very solid on the underside (see pictures). Have clear Va. Title. Price is $13,000. Car is located in Lynchburg Va. Call 434 then 528 then 5435 after 5 pm on week days or anytime before 8p on weekends. This is a cash only sale, no checks, money order or other forms of payment. Serious inquiries only please. Can share more pictures on request.

(6volt generator available) • Tires have less than 5K miles, plenty of tread on them. • New exhaust by previous owner • Vacuum windshield wipers work fine.
The Not So Good Stuff • The vacuum windshield washer pump doesn't work but is there. • The dash clock needs to be removed and cleaned to get it working. • Original radio is there but doesn't work. • Front end pulls to the left slightly so needs front end alignment and steering box adjustment. • Paint job isn't perfect, there are some dings and scratches. • Ashtray that goes in the back of the front seat available but not installed. • Replaced the glass in the drivers window and now it comes out of the holder occasionally but can be pushed back into place easily.
