This car has been completely been gone through from front to
back and I have receipts totaling over $22,000 just in parts and
work done to the car. It appears to be a slightly older restoration
but the receipts show purchase dates of around 2012-2014.
Exterior:
The car has a great look and stance.
It is sitting on a one piece California frame, it has had all of
the floor pans replaced and the welds were ground down smooth for a
very nice, seamless look and the car is rock solid underneath with
no rust issues showing. The floor braces are all in great shape and
not rusty on the ends like so many of these cars end up. The inner
and outer rocker panels are super solid as well.
All of the exterior trim and moldings are new or restored to new
condition and look great.
The wheels are 15" American Racing chrome 5 spokes with nice
BFGoodrich tires all the way around.
All of the glass is new and all of the windows roll up and down
smoothly.
All of the head lights, tail lights, brake lights and turn signals
work as they should.
The horn also works.
The paint job is the biggest downside to this car. It was probably
a really nice paint job when it was originally painted, but I
believe it had some sort of bad chemical reaction and it has tiny
bubbles/blisters all over the car. To be a super nice show car, the
car would unfortunately need to be repainted. It looks fantastic in
photos and from 10 feet away but when you get up close you can see
the imperfections. I wanted to describe the paint condition before
someone spent the time to come look at the car in person. I would
be more than happy to take close up photos for anyone that is
seriously interested in the car that is not in a position to come
look at the car in person.
Interior:
All of the interior has been completely redone and looks
fantastic.
The bucket seats are new aftermarket units that have been recovered
in black and gray leather and are very comfortable. They slide
forward and back and also recline. The original rear seat was also
recovered in the same leather and is in great shape as well.
The door panels were covered in the same leather and are also in
great shape.
The chrome tilt steering column and leather wrapped chrome steering
wheel are new and in great shape.
The Lokar shifter is new and has a low profile and does not look
obtrusive.
All of the dash trim is new and in great shape.
The speedometer is hooked up at the transmission but does not work
so the head inside the speedo may be bad or froze up and need to be
replaced. The gas gauge does work.
Drivetrain:
The engine is a rebuilt 327 V8 that runs very strong. I have
receipts for all of the work that was done when the engine was
rebuilt. It has an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold, Demon 4
barrel carburetor, HEI distributor, finned aluminum oil pan, chrome
water pump and alternator, aluminum water pump and crankshaft
pulleys, finned aluminum valve covers and air cleaner, and factory
cast iron exhaust manifolds running through new dual exhaust to a
pair of turbo mufflers with tail pipes running out the back of the
car.
The transmission is a turbo 350 with a shift kit and about a 2400
stall converter that will chirp the tires going into 2nd gear if
you want it to. It also has a Lokar braided stainless steel
transmission dipstick tube cleanly mounted to the firewall.
The rear end is stock with what feels like 3.73 gears. It runs
really strong from a dead stop but I would put an overdrive in it
if I were planning on doing much highway cruising.
Suspension:
All of the suspension has been redone with new parts from CPP.
The power steering box is a new CPP unit and the steering feels
nice and responsive.
The power front disc brake conversion is also from CPP and has a
great pedal feel and stops the car easily.
The rear end has to stock drum brakes.
