Get in, drop the top and turn heads! Just at a quick glance you can
tell this car oozes quality. The fit, finish and color combination
are tremendous. In addition to a stout 454 it also has air
conditioning, power steering and 4 wheel power disc brakes to
enhance the driver's experience. Extremely dialed in and ready to
rock! We used to own this car, then sold it to a long time customer
that is very knowledgeable about cars. He tinkered and really
dialed it in. We bought it back recently and dialed it in even
more. Aside from all the features and beautiful colors, what
separates this one is how turnkey it really is. The fit and
finishes in and out look great and the car is very functional. All
you have to do is enjoy it!
EXTERIOR: Knockout color combo! The SS hood with bulges looks sharp
and fits square. Same for the remaining panels, they all fit flush
and square with gaps that are well above average. The doors open
and close easily with minimal effort. Looking down the side of the
body it is absolutely straight as an arrow with smooth contours and
crisp lines. The Lemans Blue paint is magnificently applied with
great detail and polished to a smooth, slick and reflective finish,
just like a piece of glass. The side stripe is the correct vinyl
decal. It has a restored white power vinyl top and a matching boot
for when the top is down. The bumpers are shiny and in really nice
shape, plus they come with the optional bumper guards. The
remaining trim also has a beautiful shine. It has dual side
mirrors. The glass is all in nice shape with new rubber seals and
fuzzy strips too. SS 396 emblems are proudly displayed in their
correct locations. The blacked-out front grill and headlight bezels
all look like new. The blacked-out SS tail panel and polished SS
exhaust tips both look phenomenal as well. It's sitting on 15"
reproduction SS wheels that are a little wider than stock and
wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.
INTERIOR: A proper and complete interior! The door jambs are all
painted up real nicely. The weatherstrips and sill plates were both
replaced. The door panels and side panels were also replaced and
fit great. The gauge bezel looks new and the gauges are in
fantastic shape. It has a power top, electronic climate control and
a digital radio that fits in the factory hole. There is an external
cd player and new ac vents mounted under the dash as well. The dash
pad, kick panels and carpeting are all very clean. The interior
lights all work. The bucket seats with headrests have all been
reupholstered. The rear seat was recovered to match and it also has
seatbelts. The center console with storage also has the staple
style shifter and a cool little quartz clock as well. The sun
visors, rear view mirror and deluxe steering wheel have all been
replaced as well.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The 454 powerhouse runs really strong! It's
been upgraded with a Holley dual feed carburetor and Edelbrock
Performer RPM aluminum intake. The chrome air cleaner and valve
covers nicely dress the bay. Flanked by a nice set of long tube
headers it also has an upgraded HEI ignition also. Reproduction
Delco battery topper plus the horns and squirters are hooked up. An
upgraded aluminum radiator keeps everything running cool. It's
equipped with air conditioning, power steering and power brakes.
The underside of the hood, fenderwells and firewall are all neatly
painted satin black. The original cowl tag is still in place.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Nice and tidy! It has a new latch mechanism,
sticker, weatherstrip and bolts too. The jamb and underside of the
lid are neatly painted to match the body color. Inside is all clean
and rust-free metal with spatter finish paint. It also has a
full-size spare tire, jack assembly and trunk mat.
UNDERSIDE: Clean and correct! The steering system has been rebuilt
and works well. Redone front suspension with fresh springs and
shocks plus a big fat swaybar. It has the F41 package which
includes boxed rear control arms and a rear swaybar etc. Upgraded 4
wheel power disc brake system with a hooked up emergency brake
also. Coated long tube headers lead to a nice replaced dual exhaust
that sounds just right. It has Flowmaster mufflers and the correct
polished SS tips exiting under the rear bumper. The fuel tank was
replaced and must be polished because it has a mirror finish.
Looking up at the 454 engine it has bright Chevy Orange paint. The
Turbo 350 trans looks recently serviced with a fresh linkage,
chrome flywheel cover and chrome TCI pan. It also has a 12 bolt
rear end with 3,55 posi gears and a chrome cover. The floors are
solid and rust free with a thin undercoating and a nice dusting of
black paint.
SERVICE: We ran this car through our shop and replaced the
transmission mount, adjusted the reverse light switch, repaired the
passenger seat back, replaced the quarter trim, replaced the front
and rear driver's side window rollers, welded in the brake line
tabs, then we also replaced the rear axle seals and bearings.
Ready to enjoy! All the build time and money have already been
spent. The only thing left to do is go for a cruise and have some
fun!
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.
