I love this car! It is a sleeper being a base 300 sedan but boy oh
boy it's ready to rock n roll. Under the hood is a 427 which
connects to a 4-speed and a posi. The suspension and brakes have
been upgraded and it even has air conditioning! This car was the
recipient of a thorough frame off restoration! It is one of the
exceptional ones.
EXTERIOR: The exterior is remarkable overall! It has a street
sleeper look with the body colored 17" rims and bowtie poverty
center caps. The paint job is done right, it was applied with great
attention to detail. Even inside the door jambs is done to the same
quality as the body. The exterior is very shiny, and I can see my
reflection while standing here. The fit and alignment of all the
body panels is exceptional. The gaps are tight and consistent all
the way around the car. The doors close like a new car. The
windshield and side windows appear to be new, as well as the
weather stripping. The rear window looks original and has some
insignificant scratches. The front grill bumpers and all trim
appears shiny and refinished. 427 badges have been added to the
fenders and trunk lid. There may be a couple very hard to find
imperfections but honestly there's not one bad thing I can say
about the exterior of this vehicle.
INTERIOR: This interior is classy! The two-tone color scheme is
very unique and tastefully executed! Nearly every aspect of the
interior appears new looking. The dash, steering wheel and column
have all been painted body color red and look outstanding. A new
dash pad has been installed also. They used a vintage style Stewart
Warner gauge cluster and a knee knocker tachometer. The radio is an
original Delco AM unit. The headliner has been replaced with
matching visors. The seats have been fully reupholstered with
benches in the front and rear and are extremely comfortable. Also,
there are seat belts all the way around so you can take a cruise
with the entire family. The two-tone scheme carries onto the
reproduction door panels. The carpeting has been replaced and there
is a set of reproduction floor mats. The 4 speed Hurst shifter
sticking out of the hump is the best part! It's amazing what the
builders have done inside this car! I'm absolutely in love with
it!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The engine compartment is a thing of beauty.
Underneath the hood as well as the fender wells and firewall have
all been painted smoothly in a satin black finish. The hood latch
and hinges have been replaced. The engine is a stout, completely
rebuilt as a 427. It's sports lots of aftermarket parts like AFR
aluminum heads for example. It also has an upgraded GM aluminum
intake manifold and Holley double pumper carb that all look very
fresh. Stock chrome air cleaner and valve covers. Coated Hooker
competition headers and Flame Thrower billet distributor are
additional performance upgrades. This features a functional factory
air conditioning system. It also features power steering. It has a
high performance Wilwood brake master cylinder. The radiator has
been upgraded to a fresh looking aluminum unit. All the hoses and
wires have been run neatly and routed appropriately. Everything
under the hood looks new or rebuilt. This engine compartment is
truly amazing.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk compartment is very tidy and fully
appointed. The underside of the trunk lid and the jamb has the same
shiny finish that the body has. The weatherstrip and decals have
been replaced. Inside the metal has been very neatly painted in a
durable spatter finish. It also a reproduction mat, a full-size
spare mounted on a body color rim and a factory style jack. This
trunk compartment is as exceptional as the rest of the car!
UNDERSIDE: This undercarriage looks amazing! It has many
performance upgrades that enhance the overall driving experience.
It appears that all the steering components have been replaced and
include new hardware. The front and rear both have a swaybars and
coilover adjustable gas shocks. In back it also has upgraded
control arms with supports. The brake system has been upgraded and
now has Wilwood front disc brakes with slotted and drilled rotors.
The brake lines have been replaced and the e-brake is hooked up.
Coated long tube headers have been attached to a large and full
dual exhaust system with X-Pipe and Flowmaster mufflers. It is
nicely accented with chrome oval exhaust tips coming out the rear.
The fuel tank, straps and fuel lines have all been replaced.
Looking up at the 427 motor it's nicely painted Chevy orange and
very clean with no visible leaks. It has a high torque starter. The
Muncie 4 speed transmission looks fresh and rebuilt with a polished
bell housing. The drive shaft has been nicely painted black. It's
attached to a 12 bolt posi rear end that was also painted. The
floors are totally rust-free and very smooth looking. They have
been painted black and look fantastic. This underbelly is prim and
proper with attention to detail that is sure to impress.
This car is a real knockout! Even in our showroom of exceptional
classic cars this one stands out. The quality, workmanship and
attention to detail are evident everywhere you look. Not every
Chevelle needs to be a Super Sport!
