-Grams family & Volo Museum staff
INTRODUCTION: Wow, this car is stunning, unique, comfortable,
quality, and reliable! I wouldn't be afraid to send my daughter and
granddaughter on a long road trip in this one! It drives and
functions exactly as it should. Everyone in service spoke highly of
this one, Michael drove it to a cruise night and loved it.
EXTERIOR: One of the best looking station wagons I've seen! It has
some custom body mods: the hood was refitted with 427 chrome
grilles, the front valance is now one piece, rear pillars are
molded to body, rain gutters are one piece, taillights are flush,
the door handles including the tailgate handle were shaved and
filled. The body is absolutely straight with no rust or damage.
Panels line up properly and the doors shut like new. The doors open
with a remote fob and there's a hidden button as well. Gorgeous PPG
paint, code 933 Luxo Blue with a clear coat. The metallic is laid
out evenly and the clear is polished like glass. Those side
moldings are air brushed on by Crazyhorse Painting! They look so
good you have to touch them to believe it. The trim that remains on
the car was chromed including the grille. The bumpers were tucked
in tighter to the body. All new glass with a mild smoke tint. New
premium Steel Products weatherstrips. It looks great on staggered
size US Rambler chrome wheels wrapped with Diamond Back redline
performance tires.
INTERIOR: Wow, is this a Biscayne or a Bentley! It looks and feels
first class inside. Genuine soft leather used everywhere: seats,
side panels, visors, consoles trim, dash etc. It has 4 custom
contoured bucket seats. There's a console with cupholders front and
back. The side panels are sculpted and have billet handles. The
instrument panel was customized and has a very clean look with
relocated knobs, ignition, a/c vents and controls. It has Dakota
Digital gauges with only 1,212 mi showing on the odometer. A
beautiful custom wheel is on an Ididit tilt column. Want the
windows down, not a problem with the NuRelic power window
conversion. The wiring was updated with an American Auto Wire
system. There's a Kenwood touchscreen Bluetooth stereo with cd, and
backup camera. The speakers are in the kick panels, 2 more in back
along with a sub woofer and amp. It also has a USB port and 12 volt
receptacle. The interior lights use Buick portholes for bezels.
There are new seatbelts, 3 point retractable in front. Down on the
floor it has premium carpet and mats. Overhead is a cloth headliner
with a customer leather wrapped center section.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This is certainly a custom engine compartment!
Hiding underneath that custom engine cover made in Canada is a GM
Performance Fastburn crate motor. It's a 350 making 385 hp and 405
lbs of torque. It comes with 4 bolt mains, forged crank, aggressive
roller cam, high flow aluminum heads, aluminum intake and HEI
ignition. Sanderson headers have been added. The front of the motor
has a serpentine belt system, polished a/c compressor, modern
alternator and power steering. It also has power brakes with a
Wilwood master cylinder. It runs cool with an Arctic Chill aluminum
radiator and overflow bottle with dual electric fans. The
firewall's been smoothed and painted. The core support and inner
fenders are powder coated. Stainless hardware was used throughout.
It has those billet hinges that I love so much. Under the hood is
finished with an insulation pad.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The switch under the dash opens the power window
for the tailgate and you reach in and pull the latch to open it. It
is refinished as nicely inside the back of this car as it is up
front. All the trim is leather and it has premium carpet. Under the
floor compartment has the relocated Optima battery, there are
remote terminals under the hood and a kill switch under the car. It
also has stereo equipment, custom cloth car cover, some extra
leather and paint.
UNDERSIDE: The underbody on this car appears to be original and
rust-free, not cut up or patched. The mechanicals have been rebuilt
and upgraded. The front end steering and suspension was rebuilt. It
has CPP 2 inch drop spindles, heavier front and rear swaybars,
Billstein gas shocks and new springs at all four corners. Upgraded
Wilwood brake system with drilled and slotted disc at all four
wheels, e-brake is hooked up. New dual exhaust with crossover pipe,
resonators and stainless mufflers. Looking up at the motor it is
clean and has a high torque starter. The trans was upgraded with a
700R4 overdrive automatic and has a remote oil cooler. It has a 10
bolt rear end. There is a battery disconnect switch behind the rear
bumper.
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 service the essentials on every car
we sell.
CONCLUSION: I am thoroughly impressed with every aspect of this
car! The new owner will be very happy!
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.
