Description
What’s cooler than a 409? How about a date-code correct 409, freshly rebuilt and stroked to 474 cubic inches? This powerhouse features BWR aluminum heads, a Scat forged rotating assembly with “H” bearings, a Comp Cams hydraulic roller cam, Howard’s hydraulic roller lifters, a true roller timing chain, a Melling shark tooth oil pump, and one-piece chromoly pushrods.

What’s cooler than a 409? How about a date-code correct 409, freshly rebuilt and stroked to 474 cubic inches? This powerhouse features BWR aluminum heads, a Scat forged rotating assembly with “H” bearings, a Comp Cams hydraulic roller cam, Howard’s hydraulic roller lifters, a true roller timing chain, a Melling shark tooth oil pump, and one-piece chromoly pushrods. Topping it off is a high-performance intake with dual Edelbrock quad carburetors and Scorpion roller rockers, ensuring this beast breathes with authority. Keeping everything cool—even in Florida’s heat—are dual electric fans and a large aluminum radiator.
Built by Muscle Machining in Largo, Florida, this engine delivers a deep, aggressive rumble through high-performance exhaust manifolds and aluminized dual exhaust. It’s paired with the original 4-speed manual transmission, which has also been rebuilt, along with the rear end, which appears to be original to the car. This very well could be a numbers-matching drivetrain from engine to rear end!
This stunning Bel Air underwent a full frame-off restoration, making it one of the cleanest examples you’ll find. The Tuxedo Black exterior with a Red interior remains true to factory specs, blending classic elegance with sporty appeal. The cabin stays mostly original, except for a few discreet gauges under the dash to keep an eye on that monster V8. Few designs are as eye-catching as a Bubbletop, and this one is flawlessly straight, smooth, and polished to perfection.
Adding to its restomod appeal are modern alloy wheels wrapped in big radial tires, giving it the traction needed to put down all that power. Step inside, and you’ll be transported back to 1962, with upholstery that looks factory-fresh and room for up to four passengers to enjoy the ride. Whether cruising the strip or hitting a car show, this Bel Air is guaranteed to turn heads—and likely take home trophies.
The cowl tag confirms Paint Code 900 and Trim Code 872, along with RPO 587 and accessory codes: 03, 336, and BZW. Additional numbers include the engine casting (3788068, built July 14, 1961), transmission case (3851325), tailshaft housing (3846429), and rear end (3789812, dated B-26-2).
With only 9,600 Bel Air Bubbletops built, this is a rare and highly desirable piece of American muscle history. Stored in a climate-controlled garage and never driven in the rain, it’s ready for a new owner to enjoy and showcase with pride!
