This is a very desirable Rally Sport- Super Sport with a list of
options including a big block and a 4-speed. It looks like it went
through a pretty extensive, quality restoration. Exceptionally
clean metal that I believe is original.
EXTERIOR: This car shows really well. Body, paint and trim are
exceptional. It features a cowl hood and spoilers. The body is
straight, it fits real nice. Doors open and close like new. I did
not see any damage, bubbles or cracks. Appears to have original 1/4
panels, I did not see any splices from the inside. The paint is
polished very smooth and glossy. Stripes are painted on, jambs are
painted very nicely. Weather strips were replaced. It looks like
all the chrome was replaced. It has the optional bumper guards and
the exterior trim group which includes the louvers on the quarters
and wheel well moldings. The bumpers, bumper guards, emblems,
grills, marker lights, mirrors and handles were replaced. The Rally
Sport of course includes the hideaway lights but also includes
relocated reverse lights below the bumper. This car has radial
redline BFG tires on 14x7 rally wheels. The black convertible top
is new, the frame was prepped and painted gloss black and all new
weather strips installed.
INTERIOR: It's restored very nicely and it's optioned out really
well. It has the very desirable deluxe interior with houndstooth
upholstery. This also includes molded door panels and wood grain
trim. Other options include factory gauge package including a
clock, a center console, sport wheel, reproduction floor mats and a
factory AM/FM stereo. I'm sitting in the car and in front of me the
metal part of the dash has been painted very neatly, the dash pad
and the pillars have been replaced. The heater control panel looks
like it's been replaced, the instrumentation all looks clean. I
don't see anything broken, drilled or cracked. It has a new ashtray
and matching cigarette lighter, inside the glove box the liner is
new. Both kick panels look nice, the vents are functional and it
has the optional factory speakers. The center console has a Hurst
4-speed sticking out of it with a chrome ball. It has the correct
GM seat belts down on the floor. The carpet is excellent, has
reproduction mats. The door panels are overall in great shape, has
a nick or two on the very edge. The upholstery is not new but very
good.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It looks like a very fresh restoration under
the hood to factory specs. It has a 1972 Camaro 396 motor, the
Chevy orange paint is spotless and all the nuts and bolts are
fresh. It fires right up and runs smooth. It as stock manifolds,
distributor and carb. New cowl induction air cleaner and new
correct chrome valve covers with proper decals. New brackets,
pulleys and alternator. The radiator, fan clutch, shroud looks new.
It has reproduction GM hoses and clamps. The power steering pump
and hoses look new. The power brake booster and master look new.
The wiper motor looks fresh, squirters are hooked up. Lots of
little details look new- Delco battery topper, power top relay,
vacuum headlight components etc. All the metal is nice and clean
with a smooth black finish, hinges are gray. Bottom of the hood and
jamb are painted glossy.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk compartment looks very tidy and
complete. It has the shaker canisters in each corner, new rubber
mat and matching tire cover. New weather strip, decals and well
liner. It has a redline tire on a rally wheel. The trunk floor is
solid, the 1/4s don't have any splices, it's paint with a spatter
finish. The bottom of the trunk lid and the jamb are painted
glossy.
UNDERSIDE: The metal looks to me like it's original and
exceptionally clean. Even the inner rockers and quarters are dry,
the original drain holes are in tact. The front end has been gone
through. It has frame connectors to reduce flex. The bottom of the
motor is spotless, starter looks new. The trans and linkage also
look fresh. It's a Muncie M-20 4-speed. Original 12 bolt in back
with 3.07 gears. New fuel tank, straps, insulators and sending
unit. New correct exhaust system with transverse muffler. Disc
brakes in front with new calipers and hoses, e-brake cables are
hooked up.
Wow, now that I'm done with my inspection I am really impressed
with the metal. It appears to original and very clean. I rarely see
the metal right behind the rear tires this clean. Overall nicely
restored. Very, very desirable car with desirable features. I would
love to go for a nice fall cruise down some winding roads shifting
those gears. I'll leave that for you, but you need to call and buy
it first!
