This 62 Bel Air was a radio delete car with a date code correct QB block. There was no mention of if being a documented original 409/409 car so all I know for sure is that it was an original V8 Bel Air sport coupe. It was bid to $78K.

This 69 Chevelle SS was advertised as a recent barn find that had just undergone a complete frame off restoration. According to the build sheet it was shipped to Roller Chevrolet in Monterey CA.
