#s match and ground up restored! The L72 427 making 425 horsepower
is muscle in its rawest form. Shifting those gears, hearing the
roar of the pipes is exhilarating! It's going to turn some heads
for sure!
EXTERIOR: One of the all-time best looking body designs! This one
is an excellent example; it is straight without damage and fits
really well. The doors shut like a new car, the headlights open and
close properly. It includes the bulge hood indicating there is a
big block underneath it! It's a factory Rally Red car as indicated
on the trim tag. The paint is polished to a high gloss finish. The
chrome and trim are shiny and fits right. The side exhaust not only
looks great but sounds great too. The knock off wheels also look
great and are in pristine shape. Each one is wearing BFG radial
goldline tires.
INTERIOR: I am sitting in the car and it's very tidy and authentic.
In front of me is a clean set of original gauges that all work
including the new quartz movement clock. Correct 6,500 redline
tachometer for this motor. I'm also looking at a genuine teakwood
wheel which is on a rare telescopic column. The dash pads are in
excellent shape, the glove box door is excellent. Inside the
glovebox is a working light, owner's manual, and a sales brochure.
Down on the floor the carpets front to back are in excellent shape
and there's a set of Lloyd embroidered floor mats. I'm sitting on
some genuine leather upholstered seats with matching leather center
armrest. The original Chevy bow tie seat belts are still in place.
The center console is very clean with the correct style chrome
shifter. The door panels are in excellent, unabused condition:
there is a small crack the passenger armrest. The chrome handles
are all sparkling. Up above the trim, headliner, visors, and mirror
look like new. The interior lights all work.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The L-72 427 producing 425 horsepower is
legendary! They feature 4 bolt mains, solid lifters, a hot cam,
11:1 compression, big port heads matched to an aluminum intake with
a huge Holley carb and more. Rebuilt by Bill Caudell Racing
Engines, we just rebuilt the carb. It's all stock in appearance. It
even has the correct valve covers with dimples, ignition shielding,
the right air cleaner and stickers. It has deep groove pulleys on
the motor, so the belts don't fly off! The hoses and clamps are
reproduction, so are the spring clamp battery cables. We just
installed the correct battery hold down. It has optional power
brakes with correct cadmium plated brake booster. The windshield
washers are hooked up, alternator has been replaced, radiator looks
fresh.
UNDERSIDE: It was claimed to have had a body off frame restoration
at one time. As of now it looks clean and proper. It has been
inspected and is in good working order too. These have independent
suspension front and back. A previous owner replaced the idler arm,
shocks, ball joints, swaybar bushings and driveshafts. We replaced
the rear wheel bearings and spindles. It also came with 4 wheel
disc brakes: the lines, hoses and calipers were replaced. We
replaced the e-brake shoes and cables then adjusted them properly.
The factory side exhaust was replaced and sounds amazing! Looking
up at the motor it is clean Chevy Orange with a correct starter. It
has the heavy duty M22 "Rock Crusher" 4-speed manual trans. We
replaced the speedo gear to make the speedometer accurate. In back
is a posi with 3.08 cruising gears. The fiberglass floors look
great, it is complete with the spare tire carrier too. The frame is
solid and painted 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 within reason.
What other investment is going to deliver this much happiness? Just
looking at it is very satisfying, driving it is off the charts!
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.
