Vehicle Description
M. Scott Peck said, "Until you value yourself, you won't value your
time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it."
He may not have said that with the idea that it was justification
for buying a Chevelle SS, but it sounds like a good one. Your hard
work is valuable and you deserve this car! Once you have it, the
time you spend with it will be precious and you will definitely be
doing something with it as often as you can.
This car looks fantastic in Champagne Gold with Black SS stripes.
The body and paint pros must have put tons of time into getting the
panels lined up just right and making sure the surfaces were well
prepped before a drop of that paint was sprayed on the metal. After
the SS stripes were sprayed on and looking good running up the cowl
induction hood and down over the trunk, everything was clear coated
over. The results are a real nice shine that lights reflect off of
in smooth, straight lines down the side and gentle curves over the
rear fenders. A white SS badge proudly leads the way on the
blacked-out grill while SS 454 appears on the front fenders, and
another SS appears on the back bumper. All the chrome on the car
looks sharp and shines brightly and peeking out the back are a pair
of oval chrome exhaust tips.
Open the door and you will find a neat and clean Black interior. To
start things out, the door panel is looking good with a pleated
center section trimmed in chrome piping with an SS badge toward the
front. The two spoke steering wheel has another SS badge in the
center and it sits in front of a stock dashboard with the
speedometer in the center and a tach to the left with engine gauges
flanking it on each side. An auxiliary set of Auto gage meters for
oil pressure and water temp are mounted at the front of the center
console to keep more accurate tabs on those functions, and there is
a horseshoe shifter for the automatic transmission that falls
easily to hand just in front of them. The front bucket seats are
nicely trimmed out in textured vinyl with smooth side bolsters
while a nice feature of a mid-sized muscle car is that you friends
will have plenty of room in the back seat to join you on a cruise
night too.
Up under the hood of this car is the muscle behind this classic.
Chevy's 454 cubic inch powerhouse. This one is dressed up with a
chrome air cleaner with a 454 Turbo Jet 450 HP decal on it as well
as black and brushed metal valve covers bragging about the
displacement too. There is a Holley 4-barrel carb feeding an
Edelbrock Performer air gap manifold which gets the mixture to
aftermarket cylinder heads. Hooker long tube headers get the spent
gasses out through dual Flowmaster mufflers and it all works
together to give this car a nice healthy rumble. Signs of good
regular maintenance include new cap, wires and plugs as well as
newer belts and hoses and a new battery. Power flows back through a
3-speed automatic transmission to a 12-bolt rear end mounted on
coil springs with trailing arms. Control arms and a sway bar up
front help the car handle well and power front disc brakes provide
good stopping power. 225/70R14 white lettered tires are mounted on
5-lug Magnum wheels with SS center caps to complete the
picture.
Come on down and spend some of your valuable time with this car.
You might just decide that you deserve this car. And you would be
right.
