1970 Chevelle SS 496-400 turbo w/brake ford 9 inch mini tubbed 4 link
Description
First let me say that I bought this car in January with every intention of putting it back on the street and doing a little arm drop racing over at Muncie Dragway. When I bought it it had a new 580 CID bigblock with over 900 dynoed HP. However it had 14.4 compression so I sold it and replaced it with a 496 10.5 hyd roller cam engine to be used with pump gas. I have been so busy that I have never got to drive it let alone play with it. Now a new job and I can see the writing on the wall, so its up for sale.

(08-30-16) Hi Guys thanks for all the questions here are some answers to the most common questions--Yes the fiberglass hood goes with the car- It has a SS steering wheel and GM Cowl hood-but i don't have a build sheet. Body is nice doors shut very well. no apparent rust. Floors are nice and solid again no rust to my knowledge. Paint does have chips and small blemishes. Drivers door slightly a different color- has been reshot at on time. Looks worse in pics than real life. Exhaust is brand new- bought painted ones to brake in new motor then was going to buy ceramic ones. For some reason you can't break in new engines with ceramic headers-they have there own break in procedures. I do have the side bars to the cage I was going to get two kits from Jegs to make them swing outs. The engine run strong has 11 pounds of vacuum at idle 900rpm. S&J
race carbs did a good job setting up the carb for my engine. does not load up or is real fat. I just got home from my new job at 730pm and it raining so I would be able to do the video today as promised. Sorry. I am going to take some underneath pics tonight will post shortly. Sorry I can not take calls during the day mon-friday with my new job but text and i will return. This is a nice car and If I was going to pick it could use new paint to be really really slick. It truly is one of the best looking cars at the track to say the least. You can take it to cruise ins and it will draw attention. Radio is am and works with after market speaker but MSD does interfer with it when its running. Yes all the lights work-turn signals ect.
The first serious one that sees this car in person will buy it
Now no trades except I am willing to take a nice and I mean nice pontoon in on trade-Not looking for fishing pontoon looking more a party type.
