We have photos of the complete body off frame rotisserie
restoration. This car was taken down to a bare shell and a bare
frame then completely restored to show quality. It is a genuine
Super Sport with a 409 motor and a 4-speed!
EXTERIOR: Built in California, the body is exceptionally clean. We
have photos showing it taken to a bare body shell and the metal all
looked solid. It is straight, there's no rust, bubbles, or damage.
The doors click shut even with the windows rolled up. Repainted its
original Ermine White color and is polished to a smooth glossy
finish. It looks like all the trim has either been replaced or
restored. Being a Super Sport, it has the machine turned trim going
down the sides and on the tail panel. This one is dressed up with a
rear antenna, dual mirrors, and rocker moldings. It looks to me
like all the glass was replaced. Weatherstrips and seals are new
too. Right away you'll notice the lowered stance and it is sitting
on new 15 inch painted rims with poverty hubcaps. They are wearing
new BFGoodrich radial red line tires. It's a perfect match to the
red interior.
INTERIOR: The interior was literally gutted to a bear shell also.
They put sound deadener on the floors it has all new wiring harness
with an upgraded fuse block. A reproduction interior from carpet to
headliner was installed: red carpet, upholstery, door panels,
armrests, rear shelf and headliner. It's a factory bucket seat car,
the cushions have been replaced. Rare 1962 center console and SS
bezel around the correct shifter. Upgraded with some Dakota Digital
gauges including a tachometer. It also has a custom tilt column
with a custom steering wheel. A retro stereo fits right in the
factory location. Upgraded with red seat belts in front and
embroidered mats.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It was all apart and restored, it's detailed
and looking sharp. The star of the show is the 409 motor with a GM
dual quad and two Edelbrock carbs. Upgraded Pertronix ignition
system. Upgraded aluminum radiator and overflow bottle, correct
shroud, and new clutch fan. New alternator, the battery is properly
secured and has a disconnect switch. It features power steering and
an upgraded power brake system with a dual reservoir master
cylinder. The metal surfaces are painted nicely.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted
smooth, gloss white. Inside is rust free metal with a gray and
white spatter finish. The wiring and weatherstrip were
replaced.
UNDERSIDE: The body was removed from the frame and flipped on a
rotisserie. Underneath is completely rust free metal painted gloss
white just like the car. The entire chassis was disassembled,
rebuilt, and painted black. All the front and rear suspension was
completely rebuilt. The steering is all rebuilt. The brake system
was all rebuilt and upgraded with disc in front. E-brake cables are
hooked up. It has a new factory type dual exhaust system that runs
neatly along the frame. New fuel system. Looking up at the motor it
is clean Chevy orange, the starter is new. It has a T10 4-speed
trans.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and spent $3,958 getting it dialed
in. We replaced the water pump, installed progressive linkage on
the carbs, tuned the carbs, set the timing, shimmed the starter,
fixed the reverse lights, adjusted the shifter, repaired the horns,
centered the steering wheel, installed a new glovebox liner,
repaired fuel gauge, rewired the wiper motor, installed the rear
springs correctly, had a front end alignment done, repaired the
brake lights and adjusted the brakes.
The look turned me on, the quality impressed me. Buy a real SS,
have it rotisserie restored and let me know in a year or two when
it's done if you have less than $150,000 in it. Or hit the buy it
now and save a lot of money and time!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
