1962 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe 409

This spectacular Bel Air Sport Coupe Bubble Top is extremely nice and rare. Approximately 600 of the 409ci 409hp Bubble Tops were built in 1962. The option price for this motor was $321.21. All of them came with heater delete, 4-speed manual transmission and a factory steering column mounted tachometer. The engine code is QB indicating that is in fact a 409ci 409hp car. It has 11.0-1 compression and 420 ft. lbs. of torque. The mileage on the car is 43,286. It is originally from Bandy Chevrolet in Raymond, Illinois and spent all of its life in that part of the country. Has the original owners manual and 1962 shop manual. The sun visor is signed by Arnie The Farmer Beswick who grew up in Morrison, Illinois. It says Dale, Take good care of this beauty. I love these 62 Venturas. This of course was a joke, in reference to the Pontiac that Beswick raced in 1962 against the 409 Chevrolets. This is a very fast car in a straight line.

Branson Auto Museum was conceived in August of 2007 and opened on May 15, 2009. Partners in the Museum,knew that the Branson area was hungry for car and automotive related things to do. Branson Auto Museum was originally scheduled to go into a purpose built 20,000 sq. ft. building on the Strip. When the partners discovered that the former crafts mall the "Engler Block" was available, they knew it would be the perfect fit for what they were planning. The buiding is layed out in sections that wander through the building which is the ideal setting for a museum. The charm and character of the building also lends itself nicely to a museum.
