Vehicle Description
STK 2414 1973 Chevrolet Chevelle SS
This SS454 is a very rare Chevelle. The 1973 model was the final
year for the SS option and only about 600 big-block LS4/4-speed
Super Sports were built that year. This was one of the last
produced by the KC plant and the original build sheet indicates
that it was a COPO vehicle. Our well-documented Chevelle was
featured as the cover story of the Silver Anniversary issue of
'Chevelle Report' magazine (January, 1998) and has spent many years
at the Floyd Garrett Muscle car Museum in Sevierville, TN. The
Chevelle is in original condition with only minor restoration work
carefully performed over the last four decades. It was refinished
in Code 74 Dark Red Metallic hand-rubbed lacquer w/silver trim in
1979 and the exterior is stunning. The carpeting and some
additional interior components have also been refreshed due simply
to normal aging. The driver's bucket seat swivels for easy
entry/exit and convenience features consist of a NOS AM/FM stereo,
center console, full gauge package, and tinted windows. Factory
correct GM Rally Wheels sport color-keyed centers and trim rings.
Tires are period-correct G70-14" Goodyear Polyglas. According to
the build sheet, the COPO Chevelle is equipped with the LS4 454ci
engine, M21 4-speed manual transmission and posi-traction
differential with 3.42:1 gearing. Other performance options include
the F40 HD suspension package, power steering, power disc/drum
brakes and HD radiator. It has also been fitted with a new 2-1/2"
exhaust system and new fuel tank. This Chevelle SS454 comes with
the owner's manual 'dealer package', original build sheet, Chevelle
Report magazine article, Best-of-Show trophies and '73 GM
promotional brochures. It is truly a piece of Bowtie history - one
of the last big-block Chevelle Super Sports produced. ALL VEHICLES
SOLD "AS IS".
