INTRODUCTION: This is a genuine SS 396, built in California.
Correct motor and colors.
EXTERIOR: Just repainted in its original code F Marina Blue color.
Being a Super Sport it has the dual scoops on the hood, blacked out
grille and tailpanel and SS emblems. The trim has been replaced
including the rear bumper, emblems, taillights, wheelwell moldings,
bowtie mirror etc. The front bumper is very good original. The
windshield has been replaced and the convertible top is a nice
bright white. The weatherstrips have been replaced. It's rolling on
15 inch rally wheels and Coker Classic radial redline tires.
INTERIOR: I love the matching blue interior. The door panels,
armrests, seat upholstery, dash pad and visors have all been
replaced. In front of me it has the factory gauges in the dash and
the knee knocker tachometer. That radio may look like an original
AM, but it is upgraded with modern FM internals. The tunes will
play through the molded kick panel speakers. The carpet show some
age and it has embroidered mats. The center console has a working
clock and the shift indicator is updated for the overdrive. It has
original seat belts front and back, they were still optional in
1966! It also has a two spoke deluxe wheel on a tilt column.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It has a correct 396-325hp motor, suffix EM.
Factory Holley intake and Quadrajet carburetor, stock exhaust
manifolds, air cleaner and valve covers. It also features power
steering with the original remote reservoir and power brakes.
Detailed out with GM hoses, clamps and spring clamp battery cables.
New horns, squirters are hooked up, original trim tag is still
attached. The metal surfaces are neatly painted.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are clean,
glossy paint. The weatherstrip and well liner has been replaced.
Inside is rock solid metal that's been spatter painted. It has a
fifth matching Coker Classic redline and a blue painted rim.
UNDERSIDE: The previous owner claims it was body off restored at
one point. The floors appear to be very solid including the braces
and inner rockers. The bottom of the car was painted black. The
steering and suspension has been gone through, springs and shocks
look new at all four corners. The brake system is working properly,
e-brake is hooked up. It has dual exhaust with a crossover pipe and
stainless mufflers. Looking up at the motor it is clean, fuel pump,
starter and canister type oil filter are correct. The transmission
is upgraded to a 700R4 overdrive automatic for nice, easy cruising.
In back it has a 12 bolt rear end.
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.
CONCLUSION: You can cruise in confidence knowing you have a real
SS396. Cruising will be easy too with power steering and brakes
along with the addition of the overdrive trans. Yeah, you will be
turning heads too!
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.
