This is a legit numbers matching SS 427 that has been body off
frame restored to factory specs! They started with a clean
rust-free California car with just over 50,000 actual miles. All
the components were intact right down to the smog equipment 52,357
actual miles. We have a photo album showing before and during
restoration. It's original California "black plate" is still with
the car. It scored 995 points at a Late Great Chevy Show. This is
in my top 3 favorite cars we have. I appreciate the unmolested
quality, the features, the rarity and it's a good looking car!
EXTERIOR: California born and raised rust free metal. This
full-size muscle car looks fast with its sleek fastback design. It
is laser straight and the panels fit precisely. All the chrome and
trim are straight and sparkles like jewelry. I especially love the
427 cross flags on the fenders and the grilles on the hood that are
unique to the SS 427. The factory Bolero Red color is laid out and
polished like glass. The windshield and all the seals were
replaced. The vinyl top looks new. 15 inch wheels were also a part
of the SS 427, they are new looking rallys wrapped in reproduction
redline tires.
INTERIOR: Outstanding from carpet to headliner! It was completely
gutted and put back together to look and function as it did on day
one! All the soft items like the upholstery, door panels, carpet,
headliner, visors etc. are in excellent shape. The fit and function
is also impressive. All the bits and pieces: knobs, dash pad, glove
box liner, heater controls look great as well. The original 4-speed
console is looking really good and has the correct reverse lock out
shifter. There are some really great features including the rally
dash with a tachometer, gauges, and clock. That multiplex 8-track
stereo is rare and actually functions. It also has a deluxe wheel
with reproduction floor mats on the floor as well.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The heartbeat is strong in this Chevy! It has
it's original "born with" 427-385hp big block with original
components: manifolds, heads, and even the alternator and
distributor! Being a California car, it has smog equipment which is
also original to this car, not reproduction. Options include power
steering and brakes. All the finishes are proper and look amazing.
It has reproduction hoses and clamps, spring clamp cables, hood
insulation etc.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: This trunk is huge; a full-size spare doesn't
take up any space at all! Under the trunk lid and jamb are painted
slick. It has reproduction stickers, weatherstrip, mat and a
working light. The spare matches the wheels: 15 inch restored rally
with reproduction redline tires. The jack assembly is complete
too.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame, every component was
disassembled and restored like new underneath! All of the steering
and suspension was completely rebuilt. It even has correct spiral
shocks. The brake system was completely restored. It has disc in
front. The hoses, lines and e-brake cables were replaced.
Completely replaced fuel system including lines and tank.
Reproduction dual exhaust system. Looking up at the motor you will
see spotless Chevy Orange, the correct starter and canister type
oil filter. A little further back you will find it's original
Muncie 4-speed trans. A restored drive shaft complete with assembly
line markings connects to the original 12 bolt rear end with 3.55
posi gears. The trans and rear are correctly dated and coded.
There's no rust under this car, the floors and braces are spotless.
The frame and chassis components are smooth, and it has all been
neatly painted semi-gloss black.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you
the best cars reasonably possible.
We really got this one dialed in! We changed the antifreeze and
replaced the radiator cap. We replaced valve cover gaskets,
glovebox lamp assembly, rubber tips on visors, speakers, steering
gearbox and power steering fluid, battery hold down, hood springs
and master cylinder. We also rebuilt the shift linkage, fixed horn,
fixed trunk light, fixed 8-track player, refastened brake light
switch and adjusted the wing window.
I am being straight up, believe me or not. I've been around buying
and selling the nicest cars for decades. This SS-427 is
exceptional. When you start with a clean and complete car to do a
full restoration on, it is going to turn out much better than one
that has been used and abused. It is unique and desirable. Worthy
of the most elite muscle collection or if it's going to be your
only collector car it's one to be proud of!
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.
