INTRODUCTION: The sleeper awakes! Numbers match on the engine,
transmission, rear end, and more. Amazingly preserved! Meticulous
body off frame restoration utilizing many of the original parts.
Wonderfully documented with the original broadcast sheet and NCRS
shipping report. Now is no time for a nap, the car in your dreams
is here!
EXTERIOR: Amazing original colors! Factory code 75 Cranberry Red
paint. After you're finished gawking at the mirror finish, take a
good look at that stance, she sits pretty and perfect. Rolling on
body color steel rims with poverty hubcaps wrapped in reproduction
Firestone Wide Oval radial tires. Looking down the side of the
laser straight body is pure bliss with all its smooth contours and
crisp lines. All the body panels have been painstakingly aligned
with good gaps that are well above average. It looks like some of
the glass was replaced, as were the fuzzy strips and rubber seals
too. The chrome hood louvers, fender mounted fish gills and 396
emblems hint that this is not your typical Nova. SS badging proudly
adorns the front grill and tail panel. The bumpers have been
rechromed and the remaining bright work all has a lustrous
shine.
INTERIOR: Black and beautiful! This is the way it came from the
factory so it's really difficult to tell what's original and what
has been refurbished but nonetheless it's an fantastic condition.
The dash pad is not cracked, the headliner is tight as a drum, the
carpeting was replaced, and the SS steering wheel refurbished. The
sun visors and door panels both look to be original as do the
climate control and radio. The front bench seat has great vinyl
that could very possibly be original but still in excellent
condition, and the same goes for the rear seat and seat belts too.
And of course the crown jewel is that Hurst 4 speed shifter sitting
front and center. The dome light is working. This interior is just
as well preserved and restored as the rest of the car.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The toughest block on the block! The legendary
high performance L-78, #'s matching optional 375 horsepower 396
cubic inch engine with 11:1 compression ratio and heavy duty
internal components. Original and correct square port heads,
carburetor and intake manifold with Winters foundry "snowflake"
casting. The distributor, brake booster, alternator, water pump,
and many other components are also stamped with the correct numbers
dating the parts as original. Stock looking cast iron exhaust
manifolds flank the sides and also have the correct casting
numbers. Power steering and power brakes are much appreciated
options. The battery is properly secured plus the squirters and
horns are hooked up. Thankfully the original cowl tag is still in
place. The underside of the hood is painted satin black and
complete with insulation. The fenderwells and firewall are also
neatly painted satin black.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and inside the
jamb are painted Cranberry Red just like the exterior, with a shiny
finish. The weather strip was replaced and reproduction jack
stickers were added. It is equipped with a full size spare tire and
jack assembly. The floor pan is all solid rust free metal with a
neatly applied spatter finish paint.
UNDERSIDE: Body off frame restored! The steering system has been
completely gone through and works fantastic. The front suspension
also looks great with new springs and shocks too. Out back is a
leaf spring suspension with fresh shocks. It is equipped with front
power disc and rear drum brakes plus the emergency brake is hooked
up. The exhaust system has been replaced from the manifolds back
with new tubes and transverse muffler. All the fuel lines were
replaced. Looking up at the original #'s matching engine you will
see bright Chevy orange paint. The #'s matching Muncie M20 wide
ratio 4 speed manual transmission that was only available with the
SS option and appears to have been recently serviced. The drive
shaft was rebuilt and transfers power to the original #'s matching
12 bolt posi rear end with 3.55 gearing. The floors are solid and
rust free with nice satin black paint.
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: The ultimate sleeper! If you're into originality, don't
think twice because this is the one. The numbers have been pictured
and listed for your inspection. Undoubtedly investment grade. The
car that woke up swinging!
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.
