Only 2,000 miles on a $75,000 body off frame restoration. Real
Super Sport with original motor, trans, and rear. It also has a few
nice upgrades like Vintage Air and power disc brakes.
EXTERIOR: The body is amazing; it is laser straight. The panels fit
precisely, the doors can open and close with one finger. Repainted
a glass finish red paint, the jams are even slick. There was a bad
reaction in the paint that has caused small bubbles in places.
Standing next to the car it looks like a jewel. Optional fender
skirts are included. They are painted and easily installed if you
prefer them. The trim really makes this SS stand out. The stainless
is polished like chrome, even the wipers! The chrome all sparkles.
It is decked out with extras: door handle guards, fuel door trim,
rocker moldings, rear antenna, bumper guards, grill guard, dual
mirrors etc. It is a Super Sport, so it has machine turned trim on
the tail panel and side trim. Even all the window frames are new
chrome. All the glass was replaced. All the weather strips and
seals were replaced. The 14 inch rims were painted, the SS hubcaps
are mint and wrapped in radial tires.
INTERIOR: Inside the car is new from carpet to headliner. Nice red
carpet and seat belts on the floor. The bucket seats are completely
restored, new reproduction console in between them. In front of me
everything looks fantastic. It has an optional padded dash. There
is a retro stereo and upgraded speakers in the factory locations.
The air conditioning controls look stock but are now electric. The
door panels, armrests, window cranks are new. The white headliner
with embossed stars and matching visors is new.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Original 327 according to the codes and dates.
It was completely rebuilt. It has stock manifolds, updated dual
feed Holley carb. New Vintage Air heat and a/c system. An aluminum
radiator keeps the engine cool. It also has power steering and an
upgraded power brake system with dual master reservoir. All the
metal surfaces are painted nicely, all the components look fresh
and properly installed.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb look like red
glass. It has a working trunk light. The weather strip and seat
insulation were replaced. The rim is painted and has a 5th matching
tire. The jack is restored. It comes with a few extras including a
toolbox and floor jack.
UNDERSIDE: The front end steering and suspension is completely
rebuilt and looks like brand new. The rear suspension also looks
new: the bushings, shocks, and springs. The brake system has been
completely overhauled. New lines, hoses, e-brake cables, and it is
upgraded to disc in the front. New dual exhaust system neatly bent
along the x-frame. It has glass pack style mufflers. The fuel
system including the tank was replaced. Looking up at the motor
it's clean Chevy orange, the starter looks new, it has correct
canister type oil filter. The power glide automatic transmission
looks fresh. Original rear end with 3.08 gears Il. I'm amazed at
how clean the metal under this car is. The chassis has no pitting.
The floors, braces, rockers are smooth as a chalkboard painted semi
gloss black.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and adjusted the timing, repaired the
reverse lights, replaced turn signal switch and wiper motor,
calibrated the speedometer.
This Super Sport has undergone an over-the-top restoration. The
small bubbles are the only negative. I think the rest of the car is
done so well I didn't let that stop me from buying it. It looks
amazing and it performs just as 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. A great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
