INTRODUCTION: Documented by GM of Canada, it was born as you see it
today! It also has its original #s matching engine, transmission
and highly desirable factory colors. It has since undergone a body
off frame, rotisserie restoration. The fact that it's #s matching
and equipped with some of the most sought after colors and options
makes this an exceptionally desirable for collectors and
enthusiasts alike!
EXTERIOR: When have you seen another one like this? I know I
haven't. I call it the "Peppermint Candy" Chevelle, and the best
part is it was born this way. The body is laser straight from top
to bottom, including the rockers, with exceptionally clean, smooth
metal throughout. It features its original cowl induction hood
complete with a functioning flapper door and hood pins. Repainted
its factory color, the finish is polished to a smooth, glossy shine
and accented by correctly painted white stripes and a matching
white vinyl top. The chrome and trim are straight and bright, while
the windshield and weatherstrips have been replaced. For
authenticity, it wears T3 headlamps and rides on proper SS wheels
wrapped in reproduction Wide Oval tires that deliver the original
look with modern radial tire technology.
INTERIOR: The factory white interior is the perfect complement to
the bright red exterior! It has been restored with fresh seat
cushions, upholstery, headrests, seat chrome and trim. The door
panels, armrests, and window cranks were replaced. Fresh carpet is
dressed with SS floor mats, and the factory center console looks
like new with a Hurst 4-speed shifter proudly sticking out of it.
The restored instrument panel features a full set of gauges,
including a working clock, and a retro stereo fits neatly in the
factory radio opening. The SS steering wheel is in excellent
condition as well. Up above, the headliner is fresh and the dome
light works.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Open the hood and you're looking at a motor
compartment that could have rolled right off the showroom floor in
1970. At its heart is the original VIN # matching 396 rated at 350
horsepower, restored to factory correct specs. It retains the stock
manifolds, valve covers, and a fully functional cowl induction
system. The brackets, pulleys, power steering, and power brakes all
appear proper and correctly detailed. It is complete- The washer
squirters are hooked up, the horns are functional, and it features
reproduction hoses and clamps, spring-clamp battery cables, and a
Delco battery topper for the correct factory appearance. Even the
hood insulation is in place, completing the showroom fresh
presentation.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is impressive like the rest of the car. Under
the trunk lid and in the jamb, the finish is a beautiful gloss red,
while the trunk itself features exceptionally clean metal coated
with a neatly applied factory style spatter finish. As a nice
finishing touch, it includes a matching SS spare wheel fitted with
a never used BFGoodrich tire and it has the jack assembly.
UNDERSIDE: The body was removed from the frame and flipped on a
rotisserie for a thorough restoration. It is equipped with the
desirable F41 suspension, which includes front and rear sway bars
and boxed rear control arms. The steering and suspension systems
have been completely rebuilt and even feature the correct spiral
shocks. The fuel system has been replaced, including the tank and
fuel lines. The brake system has been rebuilt with front disc
brakes, rear drums, and a functional emergency brake. The dual
exhaust system features a crossover pipe and Flowmaster mufflers
for a great sound. Looking up at the engine, it is clean Chevy
Orange and fitted with the proper style starter. Power is routed
through the VIN # matching M20 Muncie 4-speed transmission to a
12-bolt rear end with 3.36 gears. The underside is detailed
throughout, with clean, smooth, dry metal floors finished in
semi-gloss black.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Every
vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected,
test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for
sale.
CONCLUSION: GM of Canada documentation is ironclad, so you can rest
assured this Chevelle is exactly what it's supposed to be. In the
muscle car world, documented and desirable are the key words and
this car is both!
