Rare, stunning colors! Only 766 Made total in this beautiful
Horizon Blue and even fewer with the matching interior. It's
meticulously restored like jewelry. More than just a pretty face,
it has the optional dual quad performance engine, a 4-speed and
3.70 posi rear! Very fresh, recently finished. A thick pile of
documentation and photo albums document the restoration.
EXTERIOR: The photos show this car recently taken down to a shell.
It was professionally worked to a straight body with precise gaps
and no damage. Then it was repainted it's beautiful factory color,
we have the paint formula. It was laid out and polished better than
when it was born. It just recently got paint correction and ceramic
coated, it's slick! Optional white covers really give it the
classic look. Every piece of chrome and stainless is either
replaced or restored to show quality. All new weatherstrips and
gaskets. New glass as well. Completely restored hardtop by
Glassworks, $6,300. It's painted as nice, all the chrome, windows,
headliner and weatherstrips were replaced. New white convertible
top installed by Al Knoch himself. The frame was restored, painted
and given new weatherstrips. It is sitting real pretty on a set of
reproduction white wall tires. The rims are painted blue and have
highly polished correct hubcaps with spinners.
INTERIOR: Genuine leather upholstery installed by Al Knoch himself!
It is so meticulously done inside, and it shows. It was completely
gutted and lined with sound deadener. So many things you don't see
were replaced like wiring, cables etc. The seats were rebuilt with
new cushions and the upholstery might look stock, but it is
upgraded with glove soft leather. Door panels and all their trim
was replaced. The dash was repainted smooth and glossy, dash pad
and all the trim were replaced. Completely restored set of gauges,
they all work. New steering wheel, visors, mirror etc. correct
reverse lock out shifter and the bezel. New carpet and matching
mats. Factory wonderbar radio is in place.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Only 300 miles on a complete rebuild. Correct
casting code 283 motor with the optional 270 hp which means it has
a factory aluminum intake with dual 4 barrel Carter carbs on top.
Every part is restored and detailed like new. It proudly wears
correct finned aluminum valve covers, polished air cleaner and
complete ignition shielding. Correct hoses, clamps, glass fuel bowl
etc. upgraded with a new aluminum radiator. It's show quality!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Best C1 trunk I've seen. It is detailed and
complete. The entire compartment is painted glossy. Under the floor
is a restored rim with a matching reproduction whitewall. It has
the complete jack which is seldom included. New rubber mat,
weatherstrip and a soft cover. There is also a box of extras and
shop manuals.
UNDERSIDE: It is very clean under this car. The original raw
fiberglass floors are not painted over and don't appear to be
damaged. The chassis is very clean and neatly painted black. The
steering and suspension have been gone through, shocks look recent.
In back it has correct travel limit straps and swaybar. Correct
dual exhaust system going out through the back bumper looks recent,
I believe the pipes are stainless. The brakes have been serviced;
e-brake is hooked up. Looking up at the motor it is spotless, it
has correct starter and flywheel cover. Correct, dated T-10 4-speed
trans is clean. Correct coded and dated 3.70 posi rear end.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and repaired the temp sensor,
tightened swaybar links and replaced both window regulators. The
speedometer runs a little slow.
We have been referring to this car as jewelry, it sparkles
everywhere! It stands out with these colors. We have a few hundred
of the coolest cars on the planet and this one has been getting
compliments from everyone. Looking at it is great, opening up all 8
barrels and shifting those gears is great too!
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.
