This is a genuine SS 454, verified right in the vin #! It was
ground up restored about 5 years ago. Very desirable combination of
colors and features.
EXTERIOR: SS, yeah Super Sexy! All red, no vinyl top, black
stripes, a lowered stance with some custom wheels make this a real
looker. I just went all around the car and there's no signs of
rust, I didn't find any bubbles or body work. The car is straight
from. New full quarter panels, bottoms of each door are clean,
fenders are all metal. It has an actual cowl induction hood with
the flapper door and racing pins. The paint has a very glossy
finish. The stripes are painted to the correct dimensions, they're
smooth to the touch. Up front the grill, headlight bezels, bumper
bumper guards, emblems have been replaced. On the sides the wheel
well moldings, emblems, mirrors, door handles and the stainless
trim around the windows have been replaced. In back the bumper,
bumper guards and emblem were replaced. The door jambs are painted
nicely, weather strips, sill plates and window seals were replaced.
New windshield. It rolls on 18 inch Boss wheels, extra wide in the
back with performance sneakers on them.
INTERIOR: It features the SS gauge dash with round gauges, bucket
seats and console. It has been completely redone. The seats are
reupholstered, seat backs and chrome trim were replaced. Down on
the floor it has new carpet, embroidered mats and Complete set of
original GM seat belts. The side panels, armrests and window cranks
have been replaced. Overhead the headliner, visors and mirror were
replaced. The dome light works and shoulder belts are there. In
front of me the dash pad, instrument panel, vents are new. It has
factory tachometer, upgraded retro stereo. There's an upgraded
Walnut steering wheel and a owner's manual in the glove box. The
center console is in good original condition.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The 454 motor runs strong, it has some
performance upgrades including Edelbrock intake, chrome plated
Holley carb with electric choke, HEI ignition and a set of headers.
It runs cool with an upgraded aluminum radiator, the stock shroud
and a new clutch fan. It features power steering and power brakes.
Everything looks proper and complete- the wiring is run neatly, the
squirters are hooked, it has hood insulation. It also has an Optima
battery with a disconnect switch. Overall clean, painted
nicely.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Clean trunk floor, full quarter panels put on at
it's factory seams. Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted
glossy. The decals, weatherstrip and trunk mat were replaced. There
is a new car cover included.
UNDERSIDE: Upgraded QA-1 performance suspension. In front it has
fat tubular control arms, coil over gas shocks, Proforged tie rods,
HD sway bar. In back it has solid upper and lower control arms, HD
sway bar and adjustable coil over gas shocks. Great sounding
exhaust with fat pipes and Flowmaster mufflers. Bottom of the motor
is clean, fuel pump and high torque starter look fresh. It has a
Muncie 4-speed and a 12 bolt 3.31 posi rear. Fuel tank, straps and
sending unit were replaced. It has disc brakes in front, e-brake
cables are hooked up.
You know most the Chevelles out there that have SS emblems on them
were not born that way. This is a rare opportunity to get one that
was born a real 454. Aside from that, it's a sharp looking, nicely
restored car that is great to drive. Shifting those gears with big
block power at your foot is great. The improved suspension and
brakes keeps it on the road real well!
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.
