Cool cool cool, I learned to use a clutch in a 1963 Bel-Air three on the tree when I was about 12 in 1972.

[@hasbeengood]

Love the time when car builders were making it fun to buy a car and had the goodies to option it out. It is great that these cars still exist, to remind us that there was a time when fun was part of life!

259 videos and finally there's my dream car.....I love the bubble top 409 Bel Airs

[@musclebone7875]

Bowtie masterpiece right there! The 409 Chevy

[@et4036]

409s raced 406 fords and Hemi Dodges all in low twelves @ Henderson Raceway near LV in early sixties, good memories 🎰

[@blackwaterdogs4256]

My favorite full-size Chevy from the `60s....especially in `09 form, they set the standard for "cool muscle"....

[@propdoctor21564]

Awesome piece of Automotive History !!

[@Tomgillchevy]

A real treat. Thanks for sharing!

[@Bumblebee4788]

Had 3 62 Chevy's, Bel Air sedan, Impala wagon , Impala SS parts car. My first 3 cars...283 and cast iron powerglide powered the first 2 cars. Friends called me the "62Kid".

[@brendasnider7158]

Thanks for the lack of Beachboy lyrics when talking about the'409

[@roknroy1]

perfect just the way it is!

[@MrEdwin57]

Back then when you couldn't afford mag wheels you got those wheels chromed out and they were called "Chrome Reverse " wheels !

[@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

Yeah, my fuel injected Stingray and a 409, revvin' up our engines and it sounds real fine...

[@gregorytimmons4777]

Matt Farah's Million Mile Lexus My fuel injected engine and a 413. Revvin' up our engines and it sounds real mean. Gotta be cool man PowerShot here we come.

[@domc2772]

wow 11's, back in the day, frikin super fast! What do you think of Pontiac Catalina 2+2, not sure if that was in the 11"s

[@GlassTopRX7]

I somewhat doubt the 11's he's talking about were from the early 60's mostly likely times it achieved later in it's time as a racer but it depends on what class it racing in. SD421 ran mid 12's in 62' drag trim and showroom stock was good for high 13's putting it on par with the 413 Darts. They were more than match for any showroom stock 409's though very few made it into the wild as most went straight to racers.

[@stefankoles]

I fck love this guy

[@jonrichardson7848]

Yes sir when cars,we're cars when performance and style took priority not 45 mpg and thin metal and plastic and noise like the cars,today I had a 67 olds 442 in high school and when I stomped in that thing u knew I was coming xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@GiordanDiodato]

well gas was also, what, 20 cents a gallon?

[@alexpavchinski]

Is that the 409/425?

[@V8TV]

Yer sir!

[@joeyalfaro2323]

from what I understand left over bubble tops from 61 production run ended up on some 62 cars. not 100 percent on that but sounds like something GM would do.

[@fernandosoto1002]

I own a 1961 Super Sport bubble top with a 1962 409 with 409 horsepower dual quad Factory 4 speed car yeah they did some crazy stuff back then

[@paulyoungblood7484]

How many horses?

[@V8TV]

409 originally, then upgraded with the 425 HP cam.

[@danielleighton2553]

They were called chrome reverse because the center was cut out and reversed hence the name

[@GREATGARLOOXX]

These cars are awesome but they where dominated by max wedge cars of the time
