Real RS-SS, CE warranty replacement L-78 motor. 1 owner for the
last 52 years, 50,845 actual miles! We acquired the car from his
estate, 5 miles from us. Starting in 1975 it was treated as a
collector/show car.
EXTERIOR: OMG, this paint is gorgeous! The body looks fantastic
too. It is straight, lines up just right and there's no rust or
damage. The doors click shut like a new car. It has front and rear
spoilers along with the Rally Sport option. This includes hideaway
headlights, they open manually. Repainted in 2010, it was
originally Garnet Red, now it is this amazing Magnetic Red. The
metal flake is laid out evenly and the clear coat is polished like
glass. The hockey stick stripes are smooth to the touch. The tail
panel is painted black indicating an SS 396. All the chrome and
trim sparkles. It also has the exterior trim package including rain
gutters, wheel well moldings and the louvers on the 1/4 panels. The
weatherstrips and seals are in excellent shape. The vinyl top was
replaced. The SS wheels have been restored and have BFG tires.
INTERIOR: It is really in great shape, unabused. The plastic trim,
moldings, dash area, heater control panel look mint. The seats were
reupholstered. Carpet, door panels and headliner look like new. It
still has full set of original seatbelts. A retro stereo fits in
the factory hole. Vintage gauges are mounted below the dash and a
tachometer on the steering column.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The legendary L-78 396 makes 375hp. This one is
a CE warranty block, it still uses it's correct big port heads and
matched factory aluminum intake. On top The Holley carb has been
upgraded with a 770 Street Avenger and it also has a set of
headers. The engine was rebuilt in 2018, only 2,000 miles since.
It's dressed in correct chrome air cleaner and valve covers.
Everything looks clean and proper. It has power brakes and new
power steering. It is complete with the correct fan shroud; washers
are hooked up and it has hood insulation.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and jamb are painted slick
like the car. Inside is rock solid metal with a tidy spatter finish
that has been clear coated for durability. It has a 5th matching SS
wheel and BFG tire for a spare. Complete with jack assembly
too.
UNDERSIDE: The front end suspension looks like it was rebuilt:
shocks, springs, bushings look fresh. The steering system was
completely upgraded with rack & pinion. In back the leaf springs,
bushings and shocks were replaced. Upgraded with some traction
bars. Upgraded stainless steel exhaust with Cherry Bomb mufflers.
the brakes are functioning great, it has disc in front and the
e-brake is hooked up. Looking up at the motor it is fresh. The
original Turbo 400 automatic also looks fresh. It still has it's
1969 tag riveted to it. A 12 bolt rear end sits out back. The
floors appear to solid, original metal.
SERVICE: We inspected this car and replaced the door lock
cylinders. The headlight doors are opened manually.
This car is exceptional! Really, I just inspected it and I'm really
liking it. The overall unabused, 50,000 original miles really is
evident. Not to mention the features and let's not forget about the
color! Wait til you see it in person.
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.
