INTRODUCTION: The pinnacle of muscle cars, the heavy weight champ boasting the highest HP rating of any production car from the muscle car era! Real deal SS 454 LS6 documented with the original build sheet! It's a collectors dream with so many undocumented Chevelles out there. 450 horsepower, 4.10 posi, and cowl induction, they don't get any better. This is the one you've been waiting for!
EXTERIOR: Sinister looking! I love how the Shadow Gray paint plays so nicely off the black vinyl top and black racing stripes, it looks so tough! The functioning Cowl Induction hood elevates its street status. The hood pins are also a nice touch. I believe the windshield is original and most of the other glass was replaced. It was repainted some time ago and still presents very well with a fantastic reflection. The black racing stripes are painted on. All the brightwork has a lustrous shine. The blacked out SS grill and blacked out rear bumper are both in great shape. SS 454 badges proudly adorn the fenders. Headlights and tail lights are both looking really good. She's sitting pretty too with an ideal stance, 14 inch SS wheels and reproduction Firestone Wide Oval tires.
INTERIOR: Looks great! The upholstery was still original when we got the car and was not worn, but the seams were splitting so we had new reproduction seat covers installed. It still has its original seat belts front and back. We replaced the carpet, the headliner is tight as a drum and the dash pad is not cracked. I do believe the door panels are really good originals. Factory gauges with functioning clock and 6,500 RPM redline tachometer which is correct for the high revving LS-6. A vintage Sun oil pressure gauge was added and an original Am-Fm is in dash. Original sun visors and rear view mirror plus the original SS steering wheel is still retained. Also, the dome light is working.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Real LS6! A period correct, 512 cast block has been given a performance rebuild and the HP surpasses the original 450! It has the rectangular port heads, a lumpy cam, MSD ignition, Holley carburetor, billet pulleys, and Hooker headers. It's always nice to see the correct style air cleaner with functioning Cowl Induction and the GM aluminum intake manifold with Winters foundry mark. This car was equipped with power steering and power brakes from the factory. It's also been upgraded with a transmission cooler. The squirters and horns are hooked up. The underside of the hood is complete with insulation and neatly painted satin black just like the firewall and fenderwells. The original cowl tag is still in place.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and inside the jamb are neatly painted Shadow Grey. The weather strip was replaced. Inside the trunk pan is solid and rust free with a neatly applied spatter finish paint.
UNDERSIDE: Clean underside! The power steering gearbox has been replaced and all the other steering components work well. The front shocks have been replaced and it also has a big fat sway bar. Modified rear suspension with solid control arms plus the big block springs and shocks have been replaced. The factory front disc brakes have been freshened up and the emergency brake is also hooked up. The 3 inch exhaust has been completely replaced and has a crossover pipe, Flowmaster mufflers, and the correct polished cowbell style tips exiting under the rear bumper. Looking up at the engine you will see nice and bright Chevy orange paint and a billet crank pulley. The Turbo 400 automatic transmission just had a $3,200 performance rebuild.
