Just finished a body off frame restoration as an LS-6 tribute.
Everything is new top to bottom!
EXTERIOR: Born and raised in Georgia it has rust free original
metal, it still has the factory spot welds on the lower quarter
panels. It is straight and fits right with no damage. It has a cowl
induction hood with working flapper door. Painted tuxedo black
without a vinyl top and it is polished like a mirror. The white
stripes are correctly painted. All new weatherstrips and seals. The
chrome, emblems and moldings were all replaced. New SS wheels and
BFG tires.
INTERIOR: Completely restored from carpet to headliner back to
factory condition. All brand new reproduction carpet, upholstery,
door panels, headliner and visors. The seats have all new trim and
headrests. The entire dash area is new including the instrument
bezel, factory SS gauges including tachometer, dash pad, knobs,
vents, heater control panel etc. It has a new deluxe steering wheel
and console. The 5-speed shifter is disguised as a Muncie
4-speed.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: That is an actual LS-6 block with 512 casting
and CRV stamp. Completely rebuilt, it has aluminum Chevy bowtie
heads an original aluminum LS-6 intake, dual feed Holley carb and
stainless headers. Every component is nee- alternator, distributor,
carb, wiper motor etc. The entire power steering is new. The power
brake system is new and has a cadmium plated booster. All the
wiring is new, it has spring clamp battery cables. All new cooling
system and it has reproduction hoses and clamps. Let's not forget
about the all new and functional cowl induction system too. It is
neatly painted and detailed.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted
gloss black. Inside is all rust free metal they neatly spatter
finished. It has reproduction weatherstrip, decals and trunk mat.
Complete with jack and spare.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame and underneath is new, new,
new! It has the F-41 suspension which includes boxed rear control
arms, front, and rear sway bars. The suspension and steering is
entirely rebuilt and upgraded with air shocks in back. The fuel
system is entirely new. The brake system is entirely new with disc
in front and a working e-brake assembly. It has a custom exhaust
with x-pipe, stainless mufflers and cowbell SS tips. Looking up at
the motor it is still spotless Chevy Orange and has been upgraded
with a high torque starter. The transmission is now a Tremec
5-speed with a hydraulic clutch. A new drive shaft leads back to
the 12 bolt posi rear end. The floors are immaculate metal painted
in the red oxide primer and the chassis is all detailed in satin
black.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and gave it a shake down. We
tightened up some minor oil leaks, cleaned reverse light switch and
headlight connector, calibrated the speedometer, rewired the
tachometer, replaced amp gauge, repaired blower switch connection,
installed new rear view mirror, and adjusted e-brake cables.
If you want a fresh restoration, here it is! Less than 100 miles
since practically every part was restored or replaced. It's a body
builder in a tuxedo!
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.
