The top dog of the muscle car era: an LS-6 Chevelle! Rated at 450
hp that was the highest of them all including the hemi. This
Chevelle has only 170 miles since a body off frame, rotisserie
restoration to LS-6 specs from the correct motor and rock crusher
trans to the 6,500 redline tachometer and the deep groove pulleys.
Date coded correct parts throughout. Rare factory color really sets
it apart from the others. All this in a 1970 convertible makes it
one of the most desirable muscle cars you could ask for.
EXTERIOR: What an eye-catching color combination! The misty
turquoise paint color is one of my favorites and you never see it.
Before painting the entire body was sandblasted and restored. The
paint has been applied neatly and looks fantastic. The racing
stripes are painted under the clear coat and smooth to the touch.
All the body panels are aligned nicely with good gaps. It has an
actual cowl induction hood with the flapper door. A new windshield
was installed. All the other windows are in nice condition and very
clear. The correct SS grill looks to be restored. The headlight
trim rings, front and rear bumpers all look like new. Several of
the other trim pieces do look original and are in great condition.
The correct SS wheels are date coded and are wearing reproduction
Wide Oval Firestone radials. are reproductions. It has a white
power top in great shape. You'll turn heads everywhere you go in
this vehicle!
INTERIOR: I love the sheen of this pearl white interior! It's
absolutely gorgeous in contrast with the misty turquoise paint. A
combination of new reproduction and clean original parts were used
for restoration giving this interior a pleasing factory look. All
the seats have been reupholstered with matching vinyl. The front
buckets have a nice fresh feel when sitting on them. The door
panels have been replaced and include the correct SS badging. The
carpeting has been replaced and looks great. The center console
looks original and in fantastic condition with a correct flat bar
Muncie 4-speed shifter sticking out of it. The instrument panel and
dash pad were replaced. It has a set of factory gauges including a
correct 6,500 redline tachometer for an LS6. The odometer shows
less than 170 mi since restoration. The gauges work except the amp
gauge, there are aftermarket gauges below the dash that work too.
It has a tilt column and correct SS steering wheel. You'll be
cruising in absolute comfort here!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The engine compartment is very nice with a
mostly stock appearance. The motor is a correct LS6 with the
desirable 512 casting. Correct dated code, the pad is stamped CE
which is a warranty replacement block. It also has correct big port
heads matched to an aluminum LS6 intake with a dual feed Holley
carb. A functional cowl induction air cleaner sits on top. Correct,
fuel lines, valve covers, exhaust manifolds and deep groove
pulleys. It also features power steering and brakes. All the
components look fresh and proper. The underside of the hood has the
proper components to complete the cowl induction. The metal
surfaces are painted the correct satin black. as well as the fender
wells and firewall. The hinges look fresh as well as radiator with
fan shroud. All the hoses and wires are run neatly the way the
factory would have routed them. Any way you look at it this is an
exceptional engine compartment!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk compartment has been completely
restored along with the rest of the car. The bottom side of the
trunk lid is painted body color and smooth just like the paint.
Reproduction stickers were added. The weather stripping has been
replaced. The trunk pan is rust free and spatter painted neatly. It
has a full-size spare with a jack. Matching mat and tire cover.
UNDERSIDE: Nice, clean looking body off frame restoration. It has
the F-41 suspension which includes front and rear sway bars and
boxed rear control arms. The suspension has been completely rebuilt
and it even has correct spiral shocks. The front brakes are discs
and they look fresh and also have the lines replaced. The rear
brakes are drums and are in good shape also. The e-brake is hooked
up. It has a full dual exhaust system with flowmaster mufflers and
polished oval tips that look and sound fantastic. The gas tank
appears to be replaced as well as the straps and hardware. Looking
up at the motor everything displays nice and clean, there are no
leaks visible. Correct starter and fuel pump look fresh. It has a
correct Muncie M22 "Rock Crusher" 4-speed transmission. That is the
heavy duty and it looks fresh. That transfers the power to the
correct 12 bolt rear end with 3.73 gearing and positraction. The
floors were restored and are clean metal neatly painted black.
Absolutely no disappointments here!
SERVICE: Our team of professional mechanics has done a thorough
inspection on this vehicle and replaced the following items: the
vertical seals on quarter glass, hood pins, alternator, power
steering return hose, right high beam headlight, installed new
gauge cluster, new horns, adjusted the front brake cable, and
tightened the visors.
Obviously if this car was documented and #s matching we would be
asking several hundred thousand dollars more. Here is an
opportunity to drive an incredibly desirable machine at a fraction
of the price. We have a folder of receipts and pictures of it on a
rotisserie.Don't let this top dog out of your grasp!
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. One 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.
