Every component is nee- alternator, distributor, carb, wiper motor etc. The entire power steering is new. The power brake system is new and has a cadmium plated booster.

Looking up at the motor it is still spotless Chevy Orange and has been upgraded with a high torque starter. The transmission is now a Tremec 5-speed with a hydraulic clutch. A new drive shaft leads back to the 12 bolt posi rear end. The floors are immaculate metal painted in the red oxide primer and the chassis is all detailed in satin black.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and gave it a shake down. We tightened up some minor oil leaks, cleaned reverse light switch and headlight connector, calibrated the speedometer, rewired the tachometer, replaced amp gauge, repaired blower switch connection, installed new rear view mirror, and adjusted e-brake cables.
If you want a fresh restoration, here it is! Less than 100 miles since practically every part was restored or replaced. It's a body builder in a tuxedo!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year membership.
