INTRODUCTION: Real Super Sport in its original colors and powered by a genuine L78 396/375 horsepower motor! Professionally restored with only 45 miles on a frame-off restoration and it is finished to an exceptional standard throughout.
EXTERIOR: I'm sure you'll find others on the internet that may look similar, but I'm telling you, they are not this car! I believe the fit and finish on this one is better than when it was new. The body panels are absolutely laser straight with clean, smooth metal from the rockers all the way to the roof. I did not find a ripple or dimple anywhere. The gaps are square and flush throughout, and the doors shut like a new car without even a rattle. It was repainted its original Marina Blue color, and without a vinyl top, the body lines really stand out. The metallic is laid out evenly, and the finish is polished to a very smooth, glossy shine. The chrome and trim sparkle bright throughout. The bumpers are original pieces that have been professionally rechromed, and the optional bumper guards are genuine NOS parts. It also features dual bowtie mirrors and a unique rear mounted antenna. The windshield has been replaced along with the weatherstrips, and the door jambs are exceptionally well detailed. It's rolling on a set of 15-inch rally wheels with new trim rings and center caps, wrapped in BFGoodrich radial redline tires for the perfect muscle car.
INTERIOR: This is a highly detailed and well appointed interior restored right back to factory original condition. One of my favorite features is the factory blinker tachometer, the turn signal indicator was incorporated into the tach itself. Very cool and unique feature. It also has factory gauges and a working clock mounted in the center console which is also home to the factory shifter. The entire dash area has been beautifully restored and is complemented by the optional deluxe steering wheel. The seats have been re-cushioned and upholstered, while the door panels, carpet, headliner, and visors have all been replaced. Everywhere you look, this interior is exceptionally tidy, clean, and properly restored.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This is a genuine L78 396/375 horsepower motor, and the factory “EG” code is still stamped on the pad. These legendary high performance big blocks came with a hotter cam, higher compression, rectangular port heads, and a factory aluminum intake. Sitting on top is the correct Holley 780 dual-feed carburetor, complete with the factory heat shield underneath that was unique to Chevrolet's high-performance engines. It's dressed properly with the correct air cleaner, valve covers, and exhaust manifolds, while an upgraded HEI ignition system improves reliability. It also features power steering and power brakes, making this muscle machine both exciting and comfortable to drive. The entire engine compartment is exceptionally clean and detailed. The squirters are hooked up, the horns and hood insulation are in place, it has reproduction battery cables and hose clamps. It still retains its original radiator that has been rebuilt. The engine bay itself is clean metal throughout and painted very nicely. You could absolutely consider this one highly detailed.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is really sharp looking. Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted slick Marina Blue to match the exterior. Inside is clean, solid metal with a proper spatter finish. It's complete with a jack and spare assembly, along with a tire cover that matches the trunk mat for a finished factory appearance.
UNDERSIDE: Exceptionally clean underneath! The body was off the frame, and the chassis was properly prepped and painted. The steering and suspension were rebuilt, and it's equipped with sway bars front and rear. The brake system was redone with replaced lines, and the e-brake is hooked up. It also has a great sounding dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers and a crossover pipe. The fuel system was replaced as well. Looking up at the motor, it's spotless in Chevy Orange and fitted with a high torque starter. The Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission connects to a rebuilt driveshaft, which leads back to a 12-bolt rear end with 3.55 posi gears. The floors are absolutely solid, clean metal with a neatly applied light undercoat.
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: You can go out and look at a hundred of these, or you can simply take my word for it: this is one of the best! The condition, the fit and finish, the L78 motor, the original Marina Blue color combination, and the factory features all come together to make this an exceptionally hard car to duplicate. The only real disappointment here would be letting someone else buy it!
