Abandoned 1967 Chevy Bel Air Inwards The Woods

Call me green dibs. “Green Dibs” is the hollo of my time to come car. Why did I firmly bring my intent of owning this 1967 Bel Air that Junkyard Life brother Keith Lively constitute inward the woods with a vast array of other forsaken Chevrolets? Who knows why I practise the things I do, exactly inward this case — I tin tell you. I (once again) receive got an intake with no motor or auto to larn with it. Details, I say. Mere details, that Keith has solved for me. 
  When Junkyard Life finds cars inward the woods — nosotros abide by awesome cars inward the woods. There was a 1970 Malibu (see video), 1968 Caprice 327, 1963 Super Sport 4-speed 327, too this lovely vision of dark-green for me, me, me.

The ’67 Bel Air’s fixed post ahead of the raise side window, along with the framed door glass, are clues this is non a difficult top.

Tell Them Again What This Is
  This is a 1967 Chevrolet two-door Bel Air post sedan. That is what makes it too then irresistible to me is the spartan post divider. Why am I drawn to this barge? Keep inward hear that past times 1967 the Bel Air cut bird was non equally hip equally the California hot location for which it was named. The Bel Air was the travel past times of the line of piece of job inward the mid-1950s, exactly past times forthwith Chevrolet had convinced us that belongings values inward Bel Air were non what they used to be.

The two-door Bel Air is bike deep inward the public afterward decades inward the woods of Alabama.

 
The pecking social club in 1967:

• Biscayne: Bottom of the barrel, affordable, basic transportation. Some did non fifty-fifty receive got carpet.
• Bel Air: Once travel past times of the line, forthwith barely side past times side to the bottom. The hollo at to the lowest degree commanded attention, exactly the auto was nonetheless a fleck basic. Options could hold upwards had, exactly too then much to a greater extent than could hold upwards waiting inward the side past times side level.
• Impala: Usually a hard top or fifty-fifty a convertible with agency to a greater extent than trim. Now you’re getting to a greater extent than pricey, exactly exciting. One mightiness fifty-fifty country “Super”. Perhaps fifty-fifty “Sporting”. This is where yous had to operate upwards to inward social club to social club the famous “Super Sport” package.
• Caprice: The hollo introduced inward 1965 equally the travel past times domestic dog inward the full-size line, this auto was likely loaded. If not, what was the incentive to purchase the travel past times of the line of piece of job name?

Ron Kidd digs nether the hood for the pigment code on the 1967 Chevy Bel Air.

Be More Specific — Back to Ron’s car…
  For a Bel Air, this auto is total of toys. It is painted i of my favorite
colors… green. In this illustration Mountain Green. It shall remain that way. It was born with the optional 327-V8 engine, ability steering, ability brakes, too air conditioning. It seems to hold upwards wearing Rally wheels too it is a post sedan. We honey post sedans. 
  It volition hold upwards wearing hub caps too powered past times a 454 engine too whatever transmission I tin find. How does an nether hood intake with 2 4-barrels sound? Remember the intake I mentioned I had? What a coincidence! It also has circular gauges that would hold upwards absolutely perfect for a tachometer.
  You know how much Junkyard Life loves tachometers. We practise brand a big deal nearly them, don’t we? Before I larn into a front end disc brake upgrade, I suppose forthwith I should concentrate on getting the bargain secured. Where volition I put it? When volition I larn to it? How practise I larn it out of the woods? 
  Details, blah, blah, whatever. I already said “dibs” several times.
