This one hits it and gets it with a built 427! The custom chassis
can handle it, the question is: can you? It is a good looker, too.
You don't see many in white and with the polished wheels and custom
interior; it stands out!
EXTERIOR: The body is straight as a rifle and fits right. It has a
tall metal and cowl hood and spoilers. The bright white paint is
polished like glass! It is dressed up with correct dimension black
hockey stick stripes. The vinyl top looks like new. The glass was
replaced. All the chrome and trim is straight and shiny too. It has
the exterior trim package. The lowered stance sits perfectly on the
highly polished 18 inch Torque Thrust wheels wrapped in performance
tires.
INTERIOR: The first thing you notice is the custom handmade 2 tone
upholstery done in genuine leather. The sport seats are firm and
supportive. The door panels, armrests, handles and window cranks
are reproduction. Down on the floor is fresh carpet and embroidered
SS 427 mats. Up above the headliner, visors and mirror have been
replaced. In front of me is a new dash pad, the glove box area is
mint. Right in front of me is a completely custom instrument panel
with Sport Comp gauges and a polished billet instrument bezel. It
also has a chrome tilt column with a Grant sport wheel. The factory
center console has been retrofitted with a B&M slapstick
shifter. There is a JVC stereo with kick panel speakers and 6x9s in
back.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The 427 has been boosted to 439 cubic inches
and is making about 600 horses! It has all the best components: a
steel crank, polished rods, forged pistons, solid roller Com Cam,
roller rockers, Meloing oil pump, ARP fasteners, Clevite bearings,
Pete Jackson gear drive, fluid dampener balancer and more. On top
is a set of GM Performance aluminum heads, Edelbrock air gap intake
and a Holley 750 carb and an MSD Pro Billet distributor. A set of
Dynatech headers flank each side. Premium fuel fittings, braided
lines and a fuel regulator were used. It is using an external
vacuum pump to make up for the lost vacuum from the radical cam.
It's dressed in some really nice looking cast aluminum valve covers
and air cleaner that say Chevrolet. A big aluminum radiator with
dual electric fans and an aluminum electric water pump keeps it
running cool. Horns are hooked up, wiper motor has been replaced,
it has chrome hinges and billet fender supports. Premium braided
hoses were used for the transmission cooler lines to the
radiator.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted
gloss white, the weatherstrip was replaced. Inside has a carpeted
floor with boxed and upholstered side panels. The Optima battery is
relocated behind one of those panels.
UNDERSIDE: Complete custom suspension front to back. It has a
custom subframe with tubular control arms, Ridetech adjustable
coilover gas shocks swaybar and a rack & pinion steering. Frame
connectors tie the front and back together to help prevent body
twist. In back is a 4 link system with tubular control arms and
Ridetech coilover adjustable gas shocks. Stopping power is provided
with a Wilwood brake system that has drilled and slotted disc at
all four wheels, 6 piston calipers in front, 4 piston in back. The
fat exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers does make it all the way out
the back. It has a custom fuel system, the tank has been modified
with a sump, braided lines run all the way to the front, it has an
Aeromotive fuel pump and filter. Looking up at the motor it has an
extra capacity Melodin oil pan and a high torque starter. The
aluminum ribbed flywheel cover matches the oil pan on the Turbo 350
automatic which has a performance build. A Gear Vendors overdrive
has been installed which makes for cruising at highway speeds much
more comfortable. A custom driveshaft was cut and connects to a
heavy duty 9 inch rear end with the backbone brace, aluminum center
section and of course posi gears.
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 within reason.
This is a muscle car beyond what GM was building in 1969! It has
significant upgrades that make it a street beast.
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.
