Cool ’65 396 4-speed Chevy Belair
I know this isn’t a Pontiac, but it’s too cool not to share as I think most Pontiac lovers will enjoy seeing this. Scott is doing a quick once-over of a 1965 Chevy Belair that hasn’t been on the road since 1972. What makes it really unique is it is owned by the original owner’s brother, who has owned it since 1967…and it’s a factory original 396 (325 hp L-35), M20 4-speed, 3.31 posi 12-bolt, (manual steering & drum brakes!), in its original dark blue (Fathom?) paint and light metallic blue Belair trim interior with the factory in-dash tach and AM radio. The brothers installed ’65 bucket seats a long time ago and tossed the original bench seat out. It has 59,600 miles and was pulled out of a barn (yes, another true barn-car) and was trailered to a local car show for display, where Scott saw the car and met the owner, and subsequently talked into giving it the thorough inspection before it goes back on the road.
