5 year body off frame rotisserie restoration! The bottom side looks just as good as the top. We have a big folder of receipts and pictures to document the build. Amazing looks and stellar performance; with this Chevelle you can have it all!
EXTERIOR: Super Sharp! The Burnt Copper paint is beautifully laid out with great attention to detail. It was then polished to a smooth and reflective finish. The SS stripes were applied under the clear coat and you can barely feel them. Looking down .....
the side of the body it is nice and straight with smooth contours and crisp lines. All the panels are well aligned with good consistent gaps. The bumpers have been rechromed and all the trim has a beautiful shine. The front grille and all the lights are in great shape. The steel Cowl Induction hood really enhances the profile, and it works too. The power convertible top vinyl is in fantastic condition. It's sitting proud on a new set of chrome US Mags wheels that are 18"" in front and 20"" in back. They are wrapped in performance tires that are also fatter in the rear.
INTERIOR: Completely redone! The sun visors, dash pad, gauge bezel, steering wheel, carpeting, and kick panels have all been replaced. The stereo was upgraded to a digital unit with Bluetooth capabilities. The tilt steering column, shifter, and center console all appear to be good originals. The seats both front and back have both been reupholstered with matching vinyl and are equipped with seat belts. There is a nice black vinyl boot for when the convertible top is down. And all the interior lights are working.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: A beefy 454 V8 makes the power! This one has been upgraded with an Edelbrock carb, LS6 heads, a billet front runner system, long tube headers, and a GM aluminum intake manifold with the Winters foundry casting. The alternator, water pump, and power steering pump are all billet aluminum as well. The master cylinder/booster has been replaced. The radiator was upgraded with a large aluminum unit that has dual electric fans. I'm totally in love with the aluminum Chevrolet script valve covers, they make the engine look tough. The Optima red top gel battery is properly secured. The horns and squirters are hooked up. The hoses and wires are all fresh too. The firewall and underside of the hood are painted body color. The fenderwells are neatly painted black. The original trim tag is still in place.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb is painted slick like the car. It has reproduction stickers and the weatherstrip was replaced. Inside is all clean metal painted glossy body color. Included is a spare tire along with a reproduction tire cover, trunk mat and well liner.
UNDERSIDE: The body was removed from the frame and placed on a rotisserie for restoration. Underneath this car is restored like the top. The frame was stripped and then powder coated black. The entire underbody is rust free, clean metal painted body color. All of the steering and suspension is rebuilt. It has lowering springs, swaybars front and back, and boxed rear control arms. All new fuel system including the tank. The brake system was completely redone. It has disc in front and drum in back, and the e-brake is hooked up. New brake lines and fuel lines. Custom fat stainless Pypes exhaust with x-pipe and SS tips. Looking up at the motor it is clean Chevy orange. New fuel pump and a high torque starter. It has a built Turbo 400 automatic trans with an aluminum pan. A rebuilt drive shaft leads back to a 12 bolt rear end with 4.10 posi gears and a chrome cover.
SERVICE: After performing our thorough inspection we recalibrated the speedometer, repaired the convertible top switch, repaired driver's window regulator, and adjusted a header.
All the build time and money have already been spent. Only this left to go is drop the top, go for a cruise, and have some fun!
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.
