#'s matching! Factory colors! Frame off restoration! Truly
exquisite top to bottom. Completely documented with a binder full
of info. Many parts are date coded correctly including the rear
axle, exhaust manifolds, intake manifold etc. All roads lead to
this being a true SS 396 car. Oh, I forgot to mention it's a 4
speed with a/c too!
EXTERIOR: Phenomenonal! Stripped down to bare metal then repainted
it's original Lemans Blue without a vinyl top. This is a high
quality 2 stage PPG paint job that is stunning. Looking down the
side of the body it is laser beam straight. All the panels are
properly aligned with gaps that are spot on. The doors close easily
with minimal effort. The bumpers were redone in show quality
chrome. The windshield was replaced and the remaining glass seems
original with some minor scratches. The white SS stripes look great
on the blue. It's sitting on 14" SS rims wrapped in Cooper radial
tires.
INTERIOR: Stunning factory white interior, code 791. It is in
excellent shape! The gauges, shifter, center console, ashtrays,
seatbelts all appear to be original and in very good condition.
Everything else looks like it was replaced or refurbished including
a new deluxe wheel. It has been upgraded with a modern Vintage Air
electric climate control and a retro stereo that fit in the factory
holes(original radio in trunk). It has the factory tachometer/gauge
cluster plus AutoMeter water temp and oil pressure gauges were
added under the dash.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Exceptional! Original VIN # matching 396 with
optional 350hp has stock manifolds, valve covers, air cleaner and
even date coded plug wires. It has optional power steering and
power brakes. A Vintage Air heat and a/c system was added. The
squirters and horns are hooked up. The bottom side of the hood is
complete with insulation and the remainder of the engine bay is
painted the correct satin black.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Great! The underside of the trunk lid and jamb
are painted slick just like the body. Reproduction stickers were
added and the weatherstrip was replaced. All the trunk pan metal is
clean and solid with a neatly applied spatter finished paint and
reproduction mat. It also comes with an SS wheel, Goodyear tire and
jack assembly.
UNDERSIDE: Pretty! Complete frame off restoration with virtually
everything redone. The fuel system, brakes, lines, e-brake assembly
were replaced. Steering and suspension was completely rebuilt.
Front disc and rear drum power brakes. It has the optional high
performance chambered exhaust with resonaters and SS tips. Looking
up at a engine it still looks fresh. It has a correct Muncie
4-speed also looking fresh. A rebuilt driveshaft leads back to it's
original dated 12 bolt rear with 3.55 posi gears. Floors and frame
have both been prepped and painted and look amazing.
SERVICE: Our lead mechanic thoroughly inspected this car and we
cleaned the headlight connections, replaced the wheel well trim,
and installed the antenna mast. This car was very dialed in when we
purchased it!
This is a very high quality frame off restoration! The colors are
amazing and born this way according to the cowl tag. A 4-speed with
a/c and a 350 hp big block sounds like fun! This car is right, the
engine is right; now it's up to you to make the right decision and
purchase it before someone else does!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights.
Our cars are displayed within a museum setting. If you are
interested in a specific vehicle, please schedule an appointment
with a salesperson to view it. Without an appointment, there is an
admission fee to enter the showroom. If you decide to purchase a
car, your admission will be refunded, and you'll receive a one-year
museum membership.
