Real SS! Top ground up restoration! Born a California car that is
complete with the original purchase order, window sticker and more!
This restomod has certainly seen more smiles than miles since it's
completion with just 3,260 miles on the odometer. And with the
turnkey reliability of a fuel injected ZZ4 crate engine, the only
thing you need to worry about is where's the next cruise night!
EXTERIOR: This car was done the right way! The builder started with
a clean rust-free car then had it media blasted, and acid dipped
before primer. Then the PPG Bright Blue Metallic paint was expertly
applied with great attention to detail and brought to a very smooth
and highly reflective finish that is truly stunning. Looking down
the side of the body it is absolutely 100% laser straight. All the
panels have been painstakingly aligned and all the gaps are spot
on. The doors close easily like a new car. The NOS steel cowl
induction hood was a very nice addition. All the glass is NOS too
and the rubber seals/fuzzy strips have been replaced also. It has
chrome dual side view mirrors. The front grill has been replaced
with a very tasteful billet unit and all the chrome has been redone
with a magnificent shine to it. The rear of the car is equipped
with the correct SS tail panel and Super Sport emblems as well. The
17" chrome Coys 5-spoke mag wheels were the perfect choice for this
car and are wrapped in staggered size performance tires.
INTERIOR: It literally smells like a leather store in here! Almost
everything is clad in beautiful light gray colored genuine doe skin
leather including the headliner, sun visors, door panels, and 4
bucket seats. The seats themselves are by Teas Designs, they're
very comfortable and give great support. The front two fully
recline and all of them have seat belts. A custom fiberglass molded
mile long center console with arm rests has been painted body color
giving a very unique look. A B&M Pro Stick shifter nicely
completes the center console. That leads to the body colored and
custom molded fiberglass dash that houses a full array of Auto
Meter gauges, custom radio, a/c vents, and climate controls. The
custom dash was topped off with a pad that matches the upholstery.
The steering column was replaced with a polished tilting unit by
Billet Specialties and a billet steering wheel half wrapped in
leather was also added. The door panels have molded arm rest and
are equipped with Billet Specialties handles too. The gas and brake
pedals were both replaced with billet aluminum units. The carpeting
was replaced with beautiful and plush European wool. Additionally,
6" x 9" speakers were added to the custom upholstered rear shelf
and kick panels as well.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This car is a lot more than just good looks!
Under the hood we have a new 350 cubic inch ZZ4 crate engine that
produces 385 horsepower. It's been topped off with a very stylish
and polished Tune Port Injection system that provides turnkey
reliability and worry-free cruising. It also has many other
improvements like MSD ignition system, ARP polished bolts, braided
lines, and serpentine belt drive system etc. The radiator has been
upgraded with an aluminum unit that has an electric fan as well.
It's equipped with power steering and air conditioning also. The
brake master cylinder has been replaced with a very nice chrome
one. The underside of the cowl induction hood, fender wells, and
firewall are all very nicely painted and match the body perfectly.
The factory cowl tag is in place.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and jambs are
painted slick just like the body. The weatherstrip was replaced.
The inside of the trunk has been fully boxed and carpeted using the
same materials as the interior. It also has a 6 disc CD changer by
Custom Autosound.
UNDERSIDE: Sporting a complete restoration the undercarriage looks
outstanding! The entire steering system has been upgraded with a
power rack & pinion. The front suspension has also been completely
rebuilt with CPP tubular control arms and adjustable coilover
shocks. The front was tied to the back with frame connectors to
prevent twist. The rear suspension was redone with performance mono
slip leaf springs and shocks also. It has disc brakes at all four
corners and all new lines throughout. The rear brakes are a
Willwood kit equipped with stainless steel rotors. It has long tube
coated Hooker Headers leading back to a completely redone 2.5"
exhaust system that is complete with O2 sensors and Flowmaster
mufflers. The fuel tank and hanging straps were replaced. The fuel
lines were also replaced, and an external pump was wired in.
Looking up at the crate ZZ4 engine everything looks great, and it's
been dressed with a chrome oil pan. The new 200-R4 overdrive
automatic transmission also looks great and has a new crossmember
also. The power gets transferred through a custom driveshaft with
universal kit and finally a new Ford 9 inch posi rear end with
Moser axles and 3.73 gearing. This car was media blasted and acid
dipped before paint. The floor pans are smooth and neatly painted
black.
SERVICE: Our professional team of mechanics has completed a
thorough inspection of this car and bled the brakes, aligned the
front end, wired fans to come on with the A/C compressor, and wired
the wiper motor.
I have nothing to say besides: true SS, crate engine, fuel
injection, air conditioning, custom interior, killer paint, and
documented! Prepare yourself to be totally impressed! This custom
classic restomod has got it going on!
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.
