49-year-old car with just 61,000 miles.

Not long after Forslund purchased the car, its trunk lock broke. Repair required the removal of the rear seat. It was at that time that Forslund discovered the original cardboard separator between the interior and trunk compartment was still in place, an element not always found in early-Sixties Chevrolets.

The bench seat interior was redone at the time of the restoration and looks showroom fresh.

Forslund says the car is a fine driver, so much so that it was driven not only to the Goodguys show, but also as far away as Solvang, a 350-mile round trip from his home in Orange County. The trip constitutes almost one-third of the mileage put on the car since its 2005 restoration.

Its new owner will enjoy a blue-chip Chevy muscle car that can be driven to shows rather than trailered.

Forslund's Bel Air (presented exclusively on AutomotiveTraveler.com) is priced at $95,000. This represents an exceptional opportunity, considering the sale prices reached by comparable cars at this year's Arizona auctions and last November's Milton Robson collection auction.
