Vehicle Description
The muscle car era wasn't over in the '90s, it just moved on to the
trucks. This 1991 Chevrolet Silverado 454 SS combines big block
power with the lightest half-ton chassis to create a fuel-injected
muscle truck for a more modern era. Now a numbers-matching and
well-documented example is ready to be your affordable classic.
We love these SS 454 pickups because they really put their attitude
on display. Sleek black paint, a front chin splitter, and a
blackout grille with a red Chevy bow tie. And because it has only
averaged about 3k miles annually, you have a clean look and
straight sheet metal. This example has only been given the right
detail upgrades, like a liner paint in the bed, repainted tailgate,
and a nice dual exhaust with bright tips. So overall, this 454 SS
is one of those rare beasts that hasn't been modified or
overworked. It would have been tough for previous owners to resist
having fun with a big block pickup, but this one shows plenty of
signs that it has been under mature care for the last 30 years. And
this age and upkeep is a magical combination. This one is now
eligible for antique registration/plates in many states. So it's a
shining example of a new era in classic vehicles.
It isn't a true SS truck without the Garnet Red interior and the
premium cloth bucket seats. It's quite distinctive and still looks
good today. In fact, while the mileage is low, the condition of the
upholstery, carpeting, and dash will almost have you mistaking
elements for brand new. A center console armrest provides extra
storage and a set of cup holders, which is a nice feature that
doesn't yet come in many classic collectibles. This SS is loaded
with power windows, power locks, a tilt steering column, cruise
control, a sliding rear window, and the correct dual-panel
AM/FM/cassette stereo. Plus, the air conditioning is blowing cold
with modern R134a refrigerant.
We already hinted at the monster 454 cubic-inch fuel-injected big
block under the hood. This comes from the grand muscle car
tradition of Chevy grabbing the largest motor they had and
shoehorning it into one of the smallest, lightest bodies for
exceptional performance. These engines were initially intended to
do work but then were installed in an 800 pound lighter pickup...so
you know this one has some serious power to spare. The
numbers-matching engine runs superbly - another indication of the
well-respected care. You'll be proud to pop the hood at any car
show or cruise-in because it has an interesting sinister black
appearance in the engine bay. This one feels quite capable on the
road thanks to a sports car-like ratio on the power steering and
power brakes with discs up front. This one came later in the short
run of the 454 SS trucks, and fans know that means the transmission
is the 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive.
The sale comes complete with the original window sticker, owner's
manual, title documentation, and maintenance records going back to
the original owner. This is the muscle truck that's presented with
the respected modern classic it has earned. Call now!
