1953 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe I6

This 1953 Chevrolet Bel Air sport coupe is finished in two-tone green over a matching interior and powered by a 235ci inline-six paired with a three-speed manual transmission.

The 235ci “Blue Flame” inline-six features a valve-in-head design and a 7.5:1 compression ratio.

Service included converting the electrical system to 12-volts, replacing the battery and spark plugs, and refreshing the ignition system with a replacement cap, rotor, condenser, coil, wires, and points.

The aluminum radiator, electric fan, and coolant hoses were installed in December 2015.

The oil and filter were changed in January 2023.

The body is finished in Surf Green with a Woodland Green Metallic roof and side molding accents.

Features include a driver-side door-mounted spotlight, five-tooth grille, rear bumper-mounted spare tire, fender skirts, and a windshield sun visor. Chrome brightwork lines the grille, front and rear bumpers, side moldings, light surrounds, window surrounds, exhaust tip, and driver-side mirror.

The 15″ steel wheels wear polished stainless-steel hubcaps sourced from a 1954 Bel Air and are wrapped in Remmington Cushion-Aire whitewall tires.

Braking is handled by hydraulic drums at all four corners.

Work completed under current ownership consisted of resurfacing the drum brakes, installing KYB gas shocks, and replacing the steering stabilizer.

The front and rear bench seats are upholstered in tri-tone green vinyl with cloth inserts and are complemented by a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets.

Features include a column-mounted shifter, locking glovebox, dash-mounted rearview mirror, heater, sun visors, an analog clock, and a push-button radio.

The two-spoke steering wheel is equipped with a full horn ring and fronts a 110-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges indicating coolant temperature, fuel level, battery status, and oil pressure.

The five-digit odometer shows 60k miles, TMU.
