One of the most documented SS in the country with a great story. A
marine returned from Vietnam in 1969 and treated himself to a brand
new 1970 SS. He owned it until he passed in 2015, 46 years. He also
kept all the documentation from original invoice to a gas mileage
log. In 1999 the motor was a little tired, he decided to build a
beast. We have a VHS tape of him installing a 502 motor. He also
upgraded to a Super T-10 4-speed, 9" rear, 4 wheel disc and
Hotchkis suspension components. It was built right. Runs mean,
cruises nice.
EXTERIOR: Factory Astro blue, beautiful color you dont see very
often. No ugly vinyl top. Has very clean original metal except
lower 1/4s were properly replaced. The body is laser straight, no
issues. Everything fits real nice. Has original cowl induction hood
that functions. It was only repainted once, back in 1999. It has
proven itself to last this long and look as good as it does. It has
some nicks touched up but shows really well, has glass finish.
Stripes are painted correctly. Up front looks pristine. The grill,
emblem, bumper, lenses, bezels look new. Has H4 LED headlights. The
wheel well trim, emblems, all the stainless around the glass and
the roof are shiny. Door handles are shiny. In back the bumper,
tail lights, SS rubber pad is all excellent. The door jambs are
very clean, bottom of doors are dry metal. The weather strips and
window seals are like new. Has SS wheels, wider in the back. Shiny
trim rings and center caps.
INTERIOR: Inside is really mint. From carpet to headliner
everything looks new, fits right, functions properly. Interior
lights work, gauges light up up crystal clear, heater controls
slide smooth, windows roll easily. No cracdooin the dash pad. New
mirror, handles, SS floormats. Has retro stereo in factory hole
with 6x9 speakers in back. It does have aftermarket tachometer and
gauges.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Now has a GM 502-502 horsepower crate motor. It
runs real strong! Has aluminum heads, intake, and water pump. Big
850 Holley carb with fuel regulator. MSD ignition system with fat
plug wires. An oversized aluminum radiator with dual electric fans
keep it running cool. Everything is sharp looking, clean and tidy.

the aqua spatter finish. It has an SS wheel with the jack all
properly mounted. New mat. Under the trunk lid and the jamb are
original paint in excellent shape. Has original jacking

each one of his children.

arms. Currie Ford 9 inch rear with 4.10 posi gears. 3 inch all

4-speed, all upgraded clutch, shift linkage, heavy duty bell

It is obvious to me that this car was this man's passion. It was an
ongoing love affair to make it better and maintain it to the a high
standard. That is the type of person you dream to buy a car from.
Really, by far this car has the biggest pile of documentation then
any car we've ever had! A 9 inch pile, not a stack of books, but
receipts of everything from day 1. This is a rare opportunity to
buy the most iconic muscle car with a great story. Functions
incredibly well, strong too!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
