#s matching driveline. Same owner the last 24 years. Restored in
and out, top to bottom. Big block power, custom paint and a
comfortable interior. California built car, dry metal.
EXTERIOR: Show quality 3 tone custom paint with blue pinstripe.
Exceptionally clean body, the panels all fit square and flush.
Doors shut real nice. Virtually rust free, there is one bubble at
the bottom of the door. Not bad for 15 year old paint, looks like
it was done yesterday. Otherwise clean dry metal. The metal flake
is laid out evenlu, the clear coat is polished like glass. The
tri-tone paint continues right into the jambs. The jambs are slick.
The bumpers fit the body beautifully. Upfront the grill looks like
it's been replaced, very shiny but does have one rock dent. The
bumper and emblems were replaced. The emblems, bowtie mirror were
replaced. It has the cross flag 396 emblems on the fenders. In back
the rear bumper and emblems were replaced. New weather strips and
windshield. It has a vintage lock on the hood on 3 small holes in
the trunk lid from the original dealers emblem. Has 20 inch
polished Torque Thrust wheels with performance tires. The custom
paint and wheels really make this stand out.
INTERIOR: Exceptionally nice inside. As I'm sitting in here looking
around it is really spotless. The seats still have firm cushions.
The upholstery and matching door panels are excellent. All of the
trim is nice, headliner is nice and tight, visors are mint, seat
belts are clean, the rear mesh speaker tray is excellent. The whole
instrument panel- bezels, lenses, knobs, heater control panel is
really nice. New carpet. It has a stereo, cd changer stuffed in the
glovebox and 6x9 speakers in back. Also has a small gauge cluster
below the dash.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Vin # matched 396. We also checked casting
codes and dates. Only 1,000 miles on rebuilt motor. Dyno tested-
350 hp at the rear wheel according to the owner. Upgraded cam,
Edelbrock intake, dual feed Holley carb. Runs cool with a big
polished aluminum radiator and a flex fan. The motor compartment is
exceptionally clean. All the metal is nice and smooth, painted
satin black. All the components look clean and proper. New chrome
Chevrolet valve covers and air cleaner. It features power steering
and brakes.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Huge! I bet you could haul two yards of mulch in
here. Perfectly clean, dry metal. I don't see any rust or patches.
Very neatly applied spatter finish paint. The full size spare and
jack is mounted properly and barely takes up any room. The bottom
of the trunk lid and the jamb are painted as slick as the exterior.
The seams and spot welds are crisp. Weatherstrip is new. It has a
fire extinguisher for peace of mind.
UNDERSIDE: Wow, the bottom of this car has spotless metal. Not
rusted, not even pitted! Dry inner rockers and lower 1/4s. Crisp
seams and factory spotwelds. All painted a smooth satin black.
Looking up at the motor it is spotless. Has chrome oil pan, high
torque starter, flywheel cover and correct canister oil filter.
Original #s correct Turbo 400 automatic, it is clean. Original 3.08
12 bolt rear end. New shocks, air shocks in back. Hardly any miles
on the redone brakes, e-brake assembly is complete.
This is a comfortable full size cruiser with big block power. It
presents itself like a show car. Has a custom appearance but still
a #s match 396 with investment potential. A lot of car for the
money.
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.
