Up for auction is an original, all numbers matching Gobi Beige 1970 Chevelle SS. This car was purchased new at Sands Chevrolet in Glendale AZ May 17th, 1970. I have some original paperwork and a letter from the owner adding to its authenticity. Car comes with build sheet (see pictures of when it was found).
Original owner had the car for 38 years and it never left AZ. Totally rust free car that had one repaint, to original color in 1998. All body panels are original to the car.
Interior is in excellent shape and both buckets were recovered otherwise appears to be all original. Small crack in the dash (see picture), small tear in rear seat at the seam and a rip in the headliner, owner repaired.
Engine compartment is original, appears the engine was never out of the car and has terrific patina. Motor and components are original to the car except of course routine maintenance items like belts, hoses, etc. GM HEI was changed by the owner for reliability. Intake and exhaust manifolds are original. A/C is hooked up and works, needs to be charged. Underside has original red oxide paint and mechanical the car runs and drive as it should. Brakes work great and even the key buzzer works. Also has original fender mounted blinker indicators. Car has a functioning cowl hood with original components and very rare power window car.
This is a great example of a very original unrestored car.
Motor is a numbers matching 396/350 hp big block matted to its original Turbo Hydromatic 400 and open 3:31 rear. Car is equipped with F-41 suspension and other options included with the SS package.
There is a great story behind this car. I have added pictures supplied by the original owner that shows him and his bride driving away after their wedding and pictures of him with his child with the car in the background. I added a letter from the owner with a story about a promise he made to his mother not to get married and she would by him this car. He made the promise, got the car and married the girl 6 month later. This car has great provenance.
I can answer any questions about the car and supply any pictures that you would like. You will not be disappointed in this car. Original numbers matching cars are harder and harder to find. There is not story behind this car it is a guaranteed original 1970 SS. I welcome anyone who would like to personally see the car or any third party inspections. Actually I would prefer this.
