Hi Mark,
That '62 Bel Air is a super nice black on red 409/409 car. It was purchased from a broker/dealer already restored, without much known previous history. It replaced a red/red Bel Air with Z11 upgrades he had prior. I can say that it is likely the nicest sheetmetal '62 I've ever seen-everything underneath is excellent, with every spot weld, drain hole, and dimple seemingly present and accounted for. It just seems like most of these '61-64s rusted somewhere underneath and usually you can find a patch someplace, where even if its done clean you inevitably seem to lose some sort of detail. This car apparently lived in a world without moisture. I'll try to shoot some pics of it along with its Bubbletop cousin, that Honduras Maroon '61 Impala SS 348/350hp car I've shown before. That's another incredible original sheetmetal car. McKay is known as a Ford guy and collector, but he's built a pretty impressive Chevrolet wing over the last decade or so.
