1973 Black Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 No Rust California Car - Must See!

Description

I recently obtained this vehicle from the guy who brought life to it. He got the vehicle about 5 years ago - an SS roller with all original rust free and straight sheet metal, original interior, etc. A low mileage 454 engine(4 bolt main) and TH400 3 Speed Automatic transmission were taken from an 80's Chevy pickup. As you can see from the photos he spared little expense. He tried to keep as much of the original vehicle as possible - only redoing those items that needed attention. The exterior paint was re-done - a beautiful black - the paint is like glass - easily a $5K + paint job. The interior is extremely nice - the car retains it's original SS door panels and rear seat. Restoration included a custom dash pad, new matching upholstery on the front seats(factory swivel buckets), new carpet and headliner. Upgrades to the 454 include the following: General Motors Dual Plane high rise manifold, Edlebrock 800 CFM carb, HEI distributor, Hooker Headers, 2.5" dual Flowmaster Exhaust, large aluminum radiator, Transgo Shift kit. The car has a 3.55 positraction rear end. New parts include water pump, belts, hoses, alternator, starter, tires, KYB rear shocks, U joints, rebuilt front disc brakes. It also has new rubber seals at both doors and trunk. Newer tires sitting on vintage Centerline staggered wheels. You won't find any rust on this Fremont CA built Chevelle. The car has mostly been sitting in a garage, driven rarely since completion - the owner found a new project and this one was taking up the garage space so had to go. With that being said it will probably need some tweaks here and there but the car is extremely solid, has plenty of power and can be driven and enjoyed as is. The car has Power brakes, power steering and power windows - all work as they should. Gauges work in a blend of factory gauges and after market(Example - factory tach does not work but the large lower tach does work). I had the vehicle dyno tested(mostly for curiosity sake) but I figured any potential buyer would be interested to have those figures. Outcome showed Max numbers of 211.9 HP and 318 Ft Lbs of Torque. The car pulls strong and will easily chirp the tires if you so desire. Feel free to contact me anytime with any other questions on the car. My name is Randy and I can be reached at (661)203-8472. I am listing with what I feel is a very low reserve so good luck and happy bidding.
