INTRODUCTION: This one's going to be hard to beat! A genuine
factory Tuxedo Black Super Sport, it's been treated to a meticulous
body off frame restoration and it shows in every detail. The fit,
finish, and overall function are impressive throughout. With power
steering, upgraded four wheel power disc brakes, and a 4-speed,
this isn't just a showpiece- it's a car you're going to want to get
in and drive!
EXTERIOR: This Super Sport has an outstanding presentation! It's
refinished in its factory code 900 Tuxedo Black, and it truly looks
like a rolling mirror. The body is laser straight from end to end
with no rust, no damage, and the panel fit is right on the money.
The doors shut effortlessly, even with your pinky. The paint is
polished to a deep, glass like finish that you can literally read a
dictionary in the reflection. The jambs are just as slick,
weatherstrips have been replaced, and the windshield is new. All of
the chrome and trim is straight, bright, and in excellent
condition. It's equipped with dual bowtie mirrors and bumper
guards, and the Super Sport specific machined inserts on the side
moldings and tail panel are all in great shape. It sits right on
correct SS hubcaps mounted on black painted wheels, wrapped in
Hankook radial tires for a clean, proper look.
INTERIOR: It is super tidy and well equipped. It features a factory
tachometer paired with the factory 4-speed in the center console- a
great combination for a true driver's car. It's been completely
redone with a full reproduction interior, including the door
panels, seat cushions, upholstery, carpet, and a tight fitting
headliner with matching visors. It also has the optional padded
dash, which really finishes it off nicely. All the trim, knobs,
rear shelf, and steering wheel are in excellent condition. For
comfort and usability, it's upgraded with a retro stereo that fits
right in the factory location, along with dual speakers in the
dash. Even the glove box is detailed- it lights up and has the
owner's manual inside. A set of embroidered floor mats adds a nice
finishing touch. All the interior lights are working, and front
seatbelts have been added for safety.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Under the hood is very proper and well sorted.
It's powered by a smooth running, reliable 283 V8, upgraded with an
Edelbrock intake and Edelbrock 4-barrel carb with an electric choke
for easy starting and drivability. It's dressed right with a
matching set of aluminum valve covers and air cleaner, giving it a
clean, cohesive look. The components present very well; the power
steering pump, gearbox, and joints all look fresh. It's been
upgraded with a modern power brake booster and dual reservoir
master cylinder, which is a big improvement in safety over the
original single system. It also features an aluminum radiator to
help keep it running cool, while still retaining the factory fan
shroud. The firewall and inner fenders are smooth, clean metal,
neatly painted. Hoses and wiring are routed properly, the battery
is properly secured and has correct spring clamp cables, and even
the washer system is hooked up- complete with the glass bottle for
fluid concentrate.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: You guessed it- the trunk compartment is just as
nice as the rest of the car! Under the deck lid and in the jamb
it's painted slick Tuxedo Black, just like the exterior. It has a
reproduction sticker, new weatherstrip, and fresh trunk mats.
Inside is clean, dry, solid metal with a neatly applied spatter
finish. It's complete with a 5th matching painted spare wheel
wrapped in a Hancook tire and a full jack assembly.
UNDERSIDE: Body off frame restoration- this delivers the kind of
clean, detailed underside serious buyers look for. The suspension
and steering have been rebuilt, the fuel system (including the
tank) has been replaced, and it's upgraded with 4-wheel disc brakes
for confident driving. It sounds as good as it looks with a dual
exhaust and Flowmaster mufflers, neatly routed along the X-frame.
Looking up at the engine it is dressed in clean Chevy orange with a
fresh starter, backed by the correct T10 4-speed. A rebuilt
driveshaft leads to the 3.36 posi rear end. The floors are solid,
clean metal with a light undercoat, and everything underneath is
finished beautifully. This is the kind of car you don't hesitate
on- if it checks your boxes, now's the time to make your move.
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'll save you the time, you can go look at others, but
I highly doubt you'll find one that compares to this. It's a
beautifully sorted, great looking car. To build one to this level
would take a lot more time, money, and effort- this one's already
done and ready to go!
