Genuine 1967 SS396 Super Sport Red/Red Chevelle Sun Dried Tomato You know you just don't find them like this. A Real 138 Super Sport Factory Air car with the factory grease pencil markings "13817" and other grease pencil numbers still on the firewall, unmolested. The overall Metal and frame condition of this Arizona SS is pretty exemplary of a very long life in this area. This is a real factory Bolero Red SS396 with matching Red interior. Although Dry Arizona is kind in terms of lack of rust which is a really big thing, still, if left in the intense sun and heat, you have here what I call a "Sun Dried Tomato." Evidently, the owner did not have a carport and the hood, roof and truck paint is thinned beyond retrieval. With just a paint job, you would have one gorgeous, appreciating, collectible 396 Super Sport. I don't have to tell you that these cars done, command some pretty mighty money. Options Besides Super Sport options, notable options include the Factory Air Conditioning, Tilt Steering wheel, Power Steering, Push button Radio,, 12 bolt Posti traction and 3 speed Turbo 400 Automatic. Body Condition The Body appears very straight with good fitment every where you look. I had my fabricator/ metal man go all over and under this car before I bought it as I wanted his expert opinion to validate what I thought was an unusually solid car. He was very impressed with the car and found one small hole in the passenger floor pan (which I still cannot find) he could easily fix and recommended we install new poly body mounts soon. Pictures show the front floor pans, that appear to be the original factory pans with factory paint still on them. Also check out the engine bay, the inner fenders, radiator support, cowl and firewall are truly in amazing condition. New factory dripper style valve covers and air cleaner with PCV and vent tube was installed to finish off a really nice factory looking engine bay. Trunk floor is raw and unpainted with light surface rust so hiding nothing, dirty but looks solid and the old factory spatter paint still exists on the quarter panels. The original Jack is in the trunk. (pictures) Importantly, frame and undercarriage look good. (pictures) The exhaust system appears newer from exhaust manifolds through mufflers. But tail pipes are missing so exhaust is obnoxiously loud. Personally, I would replace with some muscle car magnaflows. Video sound clip http://youtu.be/D3_DhfD3F7k (Midyearqueen on Utube) Major Mechanical Condition This Super Sport appears to have about a 10 year old exterior paint job, otherwise leaving things mostly original. The engine appears to be a replacement with a 1969/70 396/325 (402) with correct GM factory exhaust manifolds and correct Rochester Quadrajet and Factory Air conditioning. It starts immediately and runs great with not a hint of smoke or blow by. I drove it in 100 degree heat and it ran cool and did not detonate when shut off and it runs on regular unleaded. Ignition has been upgraded to HEI electronics. It flies straight at highway speeds and shifts very effortlessly without any hesitation or tranny or rear end noises or jerks. The former owner/restorer installed new Spider gears and a new positraction unit in the factory 12 bolt, as there was slack. No slack now, but there is a slight hum on acceleration. A note about the Air Conditioning. Pretty much complete with a condenser missing ($250 new) However, All the really rare under and behind the dash parts, even the hoses to side vents are all there. I know how expensive it gets to replace multiple sections of the a/c duct system and pulling the dashboard out to install it all, not to mention the time spent sourcing used duct parts as i just had to do it on a 68 Chevelle. Glass All the Glass is in good condition without the usual scratches and door windows roll up and down. Chrome and Trim Chrome bumpers look quite good and trim is good driver condition, but not show quality. Its all there, did not notice anything missing in the way of emblems. Interior Serviceable and driver quality, showing some age. The vinyl seat covers are good except the rear upper top most section under the window is sun damaged. A New dash cap, kick panels and red package shelf have recently been installed. Odometer works, but speedometer does not. Wheels & Tires 15" GM Rally wheels in good condition with stainless beauty rims and nice two piece caps that are correct for this model year. ****Because I have this SS priced to sell, A note on the tires: they are Brand New BFG Radial TAs, just mounted yesterday and have only 10 miles on them. With Buy It Now, they go with the car BUT If the car sells for less than the Buy it now, the car comes with the same Rally wheels, caps and trim rings as shown but whitewall radial tires that have a lot of tread on them. Or buyer can pay $620 for the BFG T/As and have both sets of tires. ******* Why Selling? I have a rotisserie restoration on a 69 Big Block Z10 Camaro in process, and a 1968 SS396 El Camino and a 1965 396 SS Chevelle almost done and a 1968 RS/SS Camaro convert that is finished and so I will soon have 6 cars and a 4 car garage! The last 3 cars I sold here on Ebay all sold at the Buy it Now Price, so I think I know where to price a car to sell. And check my feedback on those sales. This is a driver as it sits and you can cruise around town as a rat rod, just paint it or completely restore it. Email your questions, I will respond daily, inspections are always encouraged.
