LS9 Powered Barrett Cup Winning '62 Bel Air Bubble Top Built by Cal Auto/Andy Leach

[@richardashwood5771]

That car is absolutely flawless. Beautiful paint.

[@dieseldabz7104]

Well over $20K in paint

[@ZEPRATGERNODT]

Back in 95 I drove past a house with a For Sale sign on a 62 Impala Bubbletop. I turned around and went back and found out it was a dual carb 409 car and he wanted $10,000. This was in Pana, Illinois, if I recall the town correctly. It was red with red steel wheels and hubcaps. I called my dad (the guy with the money) and he said he wasn't interested in it. He already had a 62 409 but it wasn't a Bubbletop. I'll never forget that car.

[@Davivd2]

I absolutely love this car. You can drive it around town, it's got enough power and handling to have fun with. It can win trophies at a car show. You couldn't ask for a cleaner engine compartment. And the gauges....they look stock but you can tell that they are a modern reinvention of the analog gauges. This is a rolling work of art.

[@gagem7005]

That’s the cleanest bubble top I’ve ever seen. Keep up the great videos!

[@funandgames2497]

The car is awesome the giy is like the walking dead

[@MrUltraworld]

In a world of overpowering straight piped cars, this car sounds great.

[@MrUltraworld]

@Steve Miller Yeah, this is a nice one.

[@blackcarsgarage4745]

Wonder what exhaust is that, just sounds perfect

[@MrUltraworld]

@@blackcarsgarage4745 I'd love to know. Wonder if there are headers on there too.

[@James-zj3ud]

Sounds tough 💪

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

Man, I love the bubbles, but this one? It's awesome! All the added details & the motor look great. I love that trick to open the trunk, too.

[@blackbolt3685]

Yesss,that trunk gadget,and,the trunk itself,is on point

[@YukonDemon]

Wow... I'm pretty speechless on this one. What a stunning piece.. Just incredible...

[@josave8563]

Everything about that car is time stopping. Something to dream about during the day. I like the last part of the vid where you two allowed the natural music. Great job!

[@TWOxTONE_773]

If only engine bays looked that clean from factory. Edit: this dude said “auto cross at good guys a number a times” So this beauty has been driven…. Like actually driven? 👏👏👏👏👏

[@dieseldabz7104]

Hell no

[@frankm2385]

I love the classic bench seat. This car is nothing short of amazing.

[@John375PD]

From top to bottom, what a spectacular vehicle. The sound is perfect, not the aggressive annoying sound. I'm sure she handles just as well as she looks!

[@troymattice4236]

Beautiful car!!! But it’s not just a Bel Air. It is THE Bel Air. Best I’ve ever seen

[@timothydraper3687]

The tail light way of opening the trunk/boot is awesome.

[@9531-d7w]

This car is beautiful. The understated details, the stock looking but superb interior and to top it all off the third pedal. Just enough horsepower to be fast but not un drivable on the street like 1500 HP blower sticking through the hood cars. The bubble top, hardtop is the icing on the cake. Love this car.

[@simon.houseaccount4807]

That red interior is amazing

[@transam4555]

Man I have seen some fine ass automobiles on this channel but I must add this one to my top 10 list.. no wait my top five, beautiful car!!!

[@blackwaterdogs4256]

I`ve seen plenty of nice `62s, but this one leaves me flat gobsmacked....Holy SHIT, what a fine car !

[@AutotopiaLA]

It is such a beautiful build and drives perfectly

[@carlyeremian]

It's perfect. It really is. I mean. It's the perfect combination of everything needed.

[@joeginiel2092]

I can't believe I just ran across this car. I just finished a build of a 1966 Biscayne in the same color combo, only my interior is period correct red. The Honda color that this car is painted in is called "Lunar Silver Metallic". Unbelievable color combination!!

[@robertphillips3078]

Gr8 look'in 62 chevy. Beautifull body. The colour & interior r a 1st class match

[@DesertRunner602]

I usually don't like super flashy cars, but this one has some subtly and I love it.

[@johnbehneman1546]

So beautiful and fast. Thanks for sharing!!! I LOVE THE 62 BUBBLE TOP!!!!

[@fishpony1211]

U said it best, work of art!!! What a great collection that dude has.

[@markkowalski3575]

The car is fantastic looking. That gentleman is one cool man to let you drive his car that's a true car guy. Beautiful job on that they didn't come from the factory that's Sharp. Have fun stay safe

[@BigTweez9]

One of the cleanest engine compartments I’ve ever seen

[@iansharpe8420]

I had the pleasure of seeing this car In person and speaking to the builders. Super cool vehicle.

[@muzaffarshamim447]

Truly a nice piece of craftman ship in every expect. Engine bay, Interior, underbody. And it sounds awesome too 👌❤️👍

[@scarbourgeoisie]

I remember when this car was first shown, it's simply a masterpiece. IMHO, the '62 bubble top is the best looking Bel Air ever made, and this build is the closest thing to the perfect car there is.

[@chrischandler5914]

What a lovely built ride! Very well done, nothing to over the top but the details, WOW!

[@I-Teee]

That’s one of those caliber of cars that I’m actually glad you didn’t beat on it. Stunning.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Agreed. This one is pure class

[@CyberDocUSA]

The metal fabrication and interior on this car alone are worth the price of admission. Super sweet ride.

[@calvincooley1074]

That's 638 hp for a stock LS 9 lol Koolest 62 I've ever seen! L O V E that rear lip "wing"!

[@Johnnyfreitas1]

Beautiful car! One of my favorites you’ve shown bro. What a clean flawless job.

[@raulrrodriguez7552]

Beautiful 62 , immaculte build love 62's used to have an SS with a smallblock bored .60 over with 11-1/2 to 1 compression 780cfm holley on an edelbrock hi rise and shelby full race cam solid lifters and it would sream to 7ooo grand with no problem, loved that car

[@tomsroadhouse8467]

That is one clean and mean build! Great display of craftmanship and taste.

[@user-ne9wp8ve5u]

Now this one is really nice!! I love how it has a manual transmission.

[@artagain8977]

Dam straight! So many of these were automatics.

[@user-ne9wp8ve5u]

@@artagain8977 I can’t see muscle cars with a automatic. It’s gotta be a manual!

[@ericswires8534]

The taillighttrunk latch is awesome. Super clean design. Dig the red line tires.

[@brianspangler3771]

I actually remember seeing this car at the auction where it won the barrett cup. Love 62 bel airs, and impalas also.

[@greym6436]

Super nice setup and execution with this classic! I own a 93' buick roadmaster and have been looking to do a real nice clean lowered level look w/custom wheel setup and this look has inspired me.

[@buddy8412]

The damn trunklid opener. That's Cold as Ice

[@bodieb.1239]

Just beautiful. So understated and dignified.

[@bryantthombs2027]

Beautiful car, one of my favorite cars and the cleanest one I've ever seen, love the custom touchest like the trunk pop and trunk spoiler, and its a stick, what more can you ask for.

[@GuardianMB]

What harmonic build! The paint matches the body form of the vehicle combining with the color of the rims, the pipes covered by the bumper. The interior beautiful restauration keeping the seats vintage style. If it was mine the interior would be black. But hey, taste is like a butt everybody has its one, right?! Anyhow, amazing vehicle... Thank you Shawn for making our life meaningful and colorful with your awesome videos...

[@rudyoviedo9258]

BADASS!! and the color is Honda base color just amazing

[@CJColvin]

Very beautiful 62 Impala brother and that LS9 V8 sure is a beast.

[@rolandcardinal7480]

I always loved the 58 to 63 the first time I read and saw a 409 it's a beautiful looking monster those body lines on this car are just perfect I'm glad there are so many beautiful years to love but a bone stock looking 62 with dog dish hubcabs red interior white with a 409 4 speed these cars tricked out are awesome either way this one is sweet as cherry pie I almost bought a 63 once with a 396 4 speed it was a thrown together daily driver but like many cars I've almost bought it needed a frame I almost bought a all original 64 Malibu conv 283 auto it was to perfect 1500.00 bucks it ran great he didn't want me to open the doors

[@rolandcardinal7480]

Oops anyway the door wouldn't close right I'm no expert but I suspected a weak frame that's when he offered a frame with it lol it was still a great deal but I'm by far a restore guy I'm more of a die hard car fanatic I try to learn as much as I can about a little of everything and love all cars foreign and domestic retro original outrageous Chevy ford Pontiac Buick Mopar I can find a favorite in all especially like 64 Malibu nomad never seen another one besides the teal green 283 4 speed I had a short time yea why don't I still have it or the 71 454ls6 Vette with no ac no options yellow that my dumbass business partner sold from under me not realizing it wasn't it 8k Vette it was a 80k Vette he tried to replace it said he needed money quick to pay off ex wife and I got a less than o deal compared with that beast

It might not be converted to a low rider . It is sitting low no doubt on that .

[@ernestcortes1392]

Yeaaa... most Lowriders, a bel air past 1957, isn't really a desirable model. Impala's is where it's @. Lowriders probably saying I'm just happy they didn't convert into a drag racing car. To each his own, If it was an original impala bubble top, why even mess with it. lmao
