Awesome glow at night. • Custom finished steering wheel with yellow horn button. • New seat belts and restored retractors. • Fully restored and upgraded wiring harness throughout; extraneous circuits removed and additional accessory power provided. • Custom aftermarket power windows with concealed switches. • Power door locks and power trunk opener with two remotes and back-up door/trunk keys • New Stereo system with rear shelf and kick panel speakers. Includes remote control • Digital gear PRND21 indicator with integrated turn signals and high beam indicator. • Super cool push button code and start/stop system – no ignition key. • Always garaged – perhaps seen rain 3 times total. • Included in sale: 4 original 15” rally wheels with trim rings (no center caps) A near perfect car with a few areas that could be improved: • Engine and transmission are not perfectly sealed – small leaks from each. • Typically of many small block Chevy’s – a bit of piston slap noise at cold idle. • No jack, no spare, no parking brake system. Driving experience: • This car both takes you back all while enjoying the many upgrades. • A real head turner – expect attention! • Look, sound, smell (yes – carb SBC engine runs rich) all great sensory inputs • Feel is very unlike a 1975 car. The suspension, tire/wheel, and alignment give a very precise handling experience – steering inputs are immediate and responsive. This actually takes some getting used to if you are expecting a 42 year old driving experience. Serious inquiries only. Why am I selling: • This was a fun project and fun to drive but time to “thin the herd” and move on to the next “thing.” I’ll be looking for a weekend trip car with equal cool-ness but more creature comfort for road trips.
