Get in, drop the top and turn some heads! This Chevelle is wearing its desirable factory colors plus it's been lovingly restored and is begging to be driven. The only thing you have to do is enjoy it!
EXTERIOR: According to the tag it was born LeMans Blue. It was neatly repainted and has a slick and shiny finish. Looking down the side of the body you will see smooth contours and crisp lines. The SS side stripes add the perfect pop plus it complements the white vinyl power convertible top as well. I really like the SS hood with dual bulges. The car is equipped with dual side view mirrors as well. The bumpers were rechromed and the remaining trim all has a lustrous shine. The blacked-out front grille with SS 396 badging looks to be in great shape. In back it has the blacked out tail panel and the trim was replaced. It also has the correct cowbell style polished exhaust tips. The ensemble is rolling on a sweet set of 14"" SS wheels wrapped in excellent BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.
INTERIOR: Striking! The Parchment colored interior has a pearl iridescent sheen that is very attractive. The front bucket seats have been reupholstered and the rear bench done in matching vinyl. It has seatbelts front and back. The door panels and armrests were also replaced. The original looking center console has a chrome 4 speed shifter sitting front and center. A practical triple gauge cluster was added to monitor the vitals. It was also upgraded with a digital stereo by Retrosound that has Bluetooth capabilities and fits in the factory hole. The gauges and instrument panel appear to be original It has a tilt column and an aftermarket woodgrain steering wheel. The original dash pad is still in place and has a couple small splits. The carpeting was replaced and the interior lights are working.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The 396 big block runs strong and sounds tough! It appears stock but that's an aluminum intake painted orange, a hotter cam and an HEI ignition. It is nicely dressed in new chrome air cleaner and valve covers. It has a fresh 4 barrel carburetor and is also equipped with power steering and power brakes. The squirters and horns are both hooked up. Upgraded with a large aluminum radiator, it also has a heavy duty 7 blade clutch fan keeping everything cool. All the hoses and belts were replaced. The original cowl tag is in place. The fender wells and firewall were neatly painted black.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and jamb are nicely painted body color. It is furnished with reproduction jack stickers and the weatherstrip was replaced. There is also a full-size spare tire, vinyl cover, and trunk mat. Under the mat is all solid metal finished with spatter paint. The convertible top motor was replaced.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame during restoration. It has the F-41 suspension which includes swaybars and boxed rear control arms. The suspension and steering were rebuilt. The brakes were rebuilt, it has disc in front. The lines, hoses and e-brake cables were replaced. It has neatly installed dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers and correct chrome tips. The fuel system was replaced including the tank. Looking up at the motor it is fresh Chevy Orange with a fresh fuel pump and starter. The M-21 Muncie 4 speed manual transmission and shift linkage look fresh. In back is a 12 bolt rear end with 3.73 posi gears. The floors look like really clean metal painted gloss black.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you the best cars within reason.
There are not many things better than a drop top Chevelle with a big block! Truly an iconic image of American muscle car history!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide is my professional opinion based on my experience with these vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
