A true muscle car with all thrills and none of the frills. Base
model Bel Air post sedan with no options. Actually it was taken 1
step further- factory heater, wipers and radio delete! Badged as a
427 but it is a 496 stroker and a 5-speed! Body off frame,
rotisserie restored to show quality condition.
EXTERIOR: The fit and finish is outstanding. The body is perfectly
clean, straight from every angle. All the panels fit real nice and
square. I believe they started with a clean body. The ermine white
paint is polished to a very smooth, glossy finish. I don't see any
bubbles, cracks, or issues. The door jambs are detailed, the pant
is smooth and glossy even upfront by the hinges. The latches are
detailed, weatherstrips, window seals and sill plates are new. All
of the trim is excellent. Upfront the bumper is rechromed, the
grill is very good original. The moldings down the side, emblems,
bowtie mirror, all the stainless around the windows, door handles
look new. In back the bumper is rechromed, tail lights and trim are
excellent. No antenna, it's a radio delete. All of the glass is
crystal clear. Has a muscle car stance. Bigger tires in back on a
new, vintage style Torque Thrust wheels.
INTERIOR: Inside the car is pristine from the carpet to the
headliner. I'm looking at a spotless, sparkling dash area. The
chrome bezels, lenses, dash pad, steering wheel, knobs are mint.
The metal is painted glossy. Inside the glovebox looks new and has
owner's manual. It has a factory in dash tachometer and aftermarket
oil/temp gauges under the dash. It has the factory heater, radio
and wiper delete plates. Down on the floor it has new carpet and
what looks like a 4-speed shifter. Has original GM seatbelts front
and back. It's actually upgraded with a 5-speed. Completely
reupholstered, original type fabrics, seats feel firm. The
headliner, visors and mirror look new. The cloth welting around the
door jamb looks new. Even up under the dash is clean.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Completely restored and detailed like a factory
427. It is actually a 496 stroker motor. They started with a 454
block, has hi perf cast on the side of it. It was bored and
stroked. They kept it looking stock with original manifolds,
pulleys, chrome valve covers and dual snorkel air cleaner with 427
decals. It has reproduction hose clamps, reproduction spring clamp
battery cables with a Delco battery topper. Everything is painted
like new. Has hood insulation. All the components look new-
alternator, master cylinder, wiring harness etc. It has an upgraded
aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. It is so fresh and
detailed, looks like it hasn't been started yet.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Giant trunk compartment has perfectly clean
metal with a very neatly applied spatter finish paint. Bottom of
the trunk lid and the jamb are gloss white. Has new weather
strip.
UNDERSIDE: Body off frame restored. The frame and chassis was
apart, prepped and painted semi gloss black. The front end is
rebuilt and detailed. New ball joints, bushings, springs and gas
shocks. Rear suspension was gone through, has new adjustable
panhard bar and shocks. Has swaybar front and back. Brakes were
rebuilt. Lines, hoses and e-brake cables were replaced. Bottom of
the motor is spotless, new starter. Upgraded to a Tremec 5-speed
trans, new clutch and linkage. Has custom driveshaft and u-joints
were replaced. 12 bolt rear end. New fuel system- tank, straps,
lines and sending unit. It has a fat custom exhaust with x-pipe and
Flowmaster mufflers. The floors look like they are dry, clean
original metal painted satin black. Under this car is detailed,
orderly and fresh.
Very cool, nostalgic, stripped down hot rod. The condition is
outstanding. Needs nothing, ready to enjoy!
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.
