Extremely rare SS 454 convertible, #24 of an estimated 70 made.
Listed in the registry. Only 170 miles on concourse restoration.
The person that rescued this car from a 25 year hibernation in 2009
says he put his heart and soul into restoring it. Completed in 2012
and stored in a climate controlled environment since. It was also
invited by the MCACN event to be in a Showcase Display which is for
"superior examples of limited production vehicles".
EXTERIOR: I absolutely love the Sequoia Green with the white, it
really makes a killer combination. These are the factory colors it
was born with. The panels are laser beam straight from every angle.
No bubbles or damage. It has original cowl induction hood with
functional flapper door. The metal flake is all laid out evenly,
the clear coat is polished like glass. The SS stripes are painted
on proper dimensions. Jambs are painted slick. All of the trim,
bumpers, lenses, grill, stainless moldings are new or restored. It
has new windshield and all the trim around the windshield is new.

I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
