Vehicle Description
Chevrolet did a lot right in the 1960s, especially when it came to
the Camaro, Chevelle and Corvette. That's why big block Chevelles
continue to be some of the hottest metal on the collector car
market. This impressive, first-generation coupe has all the right
ingredients to bring big value and even bigger appeal. For
starters, it's an authentic Chevelle Super Sport that backs 396
cubic inches of fuel injected big block with a proven Tremec
5-speed. It also combines vivid Marina Blue paint with a cool
Medium Blue interior. And best of all, this Chevy has benefitted
from acute restoration that, instead of fixing what wasn't broken,
focused on bettering every aspect of how the car drives! Looking
for a timeless Detroit superstar that mixes macho swagger with some
of the best lines to ever prowl Main Street? Here's your next
American idol!
DEEP MARINA
Carefully refinished in glossy Marina Blue two-stage that was
sprayed over fully disassembled panels, this Chevelle is the
beneficiary of focused restoration that's been performed as needed.
At the front of the car, a familiar Super Sport grille hangs a bold
"SS396" emblem between a bright "CHEVELLE" header and a polished
bumper that's finished with clean parking lamps. Opposite that
bumper, a correct Super Sport Hood fronts factory-tint glass that's
seated behind polished wipers and straight frames. At the base of
those frames, polished bowtie mirrors reflect polished door
handles, ornate profile badging and correct Super Sport rocker
trim. And at the back of the car, a striking Super Sport valance
centers a second "SS396" emblem between clear brake lights and a
second polished bumper that's finished with bright reverse
lamps.
BIG BLOCK, BIG POWER!
Pop the hood and you'll find 396 cubic inches of choice Chevrolet
power that's been fully rebuilt and completely restored to the tune
of 425 horsepower! At the top of the Chevy Orange mill, a
customized air cleaner drops oxygen into reliable FiTech fuel
injection. A polished intake feeds lightweight aluminum heads that
tilt polished and finned valve covers under a polished and finned
oil cap. A hot COMP Cam fills throaty long-tube headers, which
crawl around a polished oil pan. An MSD Pro-Billet distributor
shoots spark through Moroso Ultra 40 Race Wires, which work well
with an Accel Super Stock coil and MSD Street Fire ignition. A
polished Wizard Cooling radiator swills water around quick SPAL
puller fans. And, speaking of cooling, billet pulleys spin a proven
Edelbrock water pump between a polished alternator, modern power
steering and a polished AC compressor.
AS IT WERE, BUT BETTER
One look under this storied classic reveals a solid chassis that's
every bit as road-ready as its stout 396. That beastly big block
spins a tough Tremec 5-speed, which utilizes an 850 horsepower Ram
dual-disc clutch to twist a familiar 12-bolt axle. That buff
drivetrain rides a thoughtfully upgraded suspension, which mixes
Classic Performance Products sway bars with double-adjustable
coil-overs and tubular Classic Performance Products control arms.
Turns come easy thanks to a quick-ratio Classic Performance
Products steering box. A polished master cylinder pushes fluid to a
quartet of fully sorted calipers, which squeeze a quartet of
drilled and slotted rotors. Spent gases roar through three-inch
pipes and throaty Magnaflow mufflers. And at the corners of the
floors, stainless-trimmed Rally Wheels spin 235/60R15 BF Goodrich
Radial T/As in front of 245/60R15 BF Goodrich Radial T/As.
BLUE ON BLUE
Decked in familiar Medium Blue vinyl, this Chevelle's retro
interior is both attractive and inviting. Its clean bench seats are
firm to the touch, showing no signs of detrimental wear and tear.
In front of those seats, a chrome-trimmed dash anchors factory
telemetry beside a correct AM radio and bright Equus accessory
gauges. A polished shifter, fitted with a 4-speed knob for the sake
of nostalgia, surfs a sea of blue carpet, which flows to pick-free
door panels that are decked in stainless. The driver spins a
requisite Chevrolet Rally Wheel around a cool Sunpro tach. And
Vintage Air climate control keeps everything cool.
In summary, this top-notch Chevelle represents 'muscle motoring' at
its very finest, combining a timeless driving experience with
stunning design, acute restoration and no-excuses performance. Hit
the backroads... Take it to the local cruise... Put it in the
Holiday parade... Whatever you elect to do with this cool Chevy,
it's sure to be the centerpiece of traffic, the focal point of your
garage and, most importantly, the car you most look forward to
being seen in!
