One owner from 1998-2021. He bought it as a rolling shell and spent
10 years meticulously restoring it. It only has about 5,000 miles
since finished. He enjoyed driving it to car shows. We just bought
this car from the couple we sold it to 3 years ago and they really
enjoyed the car too.
EXTERIOR: They started with a bare shell and restored it to show
quality. The body is excellent. It is laser straight and the gaps
are excellent. The door handles were shaved for a clean custom
look. Painted with PPG paint, it has a very smooth and glossy
finish. The coral color really sets it apart from all the others
and the ghost flames were done by a reputable artist. Upfront the
grill, bumper, trim looks new. The SS hood louvers and marker
lights and look new. The trim around the window frames were
chromed. In back the trim, bumper and SS gas cap look like new. It
has the SS black tailpanel. Weatherstrips were replaced. The rally
wheels are chrome plated, wider in back with a taller tire for a
great stance. The glass is tinted.
INTERIOR: It has custom reclining high back bucket seats. The seats
and door panels are upholstered in vinyl with comfortable cloth
inserts. On the floor the carpet looks new and there's a custom
made center console with a Hurst ratchet shifter. It has racing
belts on the front seats. Overhead is a tight fitting new
headliner. The visors and mirror look real nice, it has a working
dome light. In front of me is a 3 spoke deluxe wheel on a tilt
column. It has a rare functional factory tachometer. It also had a
Monster tachometer with shift light and matching gauge cluster down
below the dash. The lenses, heater controls, dash pad look very
nice. The big tachometer is removable, no holes drilled in the dash
pad. There is a CD stereo.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This built 402 big block has an Edelbrock
intake, dual feed Holley carb with electric choke, and fuel
regulator, an MSD ignition system and long tube headers. It has a
performance cam so there is an electric pump and vacuum reservoir.
Features include power steering and power brakes. Its dressed up
with some extra chrome and real nice aluminum valve covers. The
radiator has an engine fan, a shroud, electric pusher fan, polished
overflow bottle and a transmission cooler. The heater box and
heater core were replaced.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Clean metal trunk compartment neatly sprayed
with a gray spatter finish. It has a fuel cell with foam insert.
There is a stainless box with the vacuum pump inside. The trunk lid
and jamb are painted slick like the car. New weatherstrip.
UNDERSIDE: The front end was completely rebuilt including bushings,
shocks, ball joints and steering components. New quick ratio
steering box. There are welded in, countersunk frame rails to tie
the front to the back. In back it has relocated lower shock mounts,
and traction bars. The brake system was completely rebuilt, it has
disc in front. It has a fat exhaust with stainless mufflers.
Looking up at the motor it's fresh Chevy orange with a high torque
starter and chrome flywheel cover. The Turbo 400 automatic was
rebuilt with upgrades. It was rollerized, has 3500 stall, shift
kit, electronic kick down and a remote oil cooler. The driveshaft
was rebuilt and balanced. In back is a 4.11 12 bolt posi with
aluminum cover. The floors look rock solid.
This is a well built car. The owner has a lot of pride in what he
has done. He stressed to me how he took his time and didn't do
anything hokey. It's fun to drive, that big block really
rumbles!
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.
