1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS5 4 speed M22 rockcrusher transmission, tachometer and gauge package, functional cowl induction hood, Cortez Silver with Black Bucket Seat interior. This car was completely frame-off restored in 2010 and the entire drivetrain (Motor, Transmission and Rear End) numbers match. It also has a very rare factory 4 speaker AM/FM stereo system! It's hard to believe someone actually ordered this car back in 1970 this exact way. The only exception is it came with a black vinyl top. Nothing but blood, sweat, tears and joy followed in the restoration. As you can tell by the pictures the restored car is better than factory. I'll be as brief as possible but the extent of the restoration is nothing that can be summed up in a paragraph. The frame metal suspension components were sandblasted and then detailed; individually. The suspension was rebuilt, the disc brakes restored, new brake lines, the original SS wheels were sandblasted and detailed along with new center caps and trim rings, new Wide Oval original style tires, new fuel lines, new brakes, new body bushing, new radiator bushing, new aluminized exhaust, new fuel tank and sending unit, new shocks and of course all new hardware. The body was stripped and it then spent several months in a body shop and painted. The paint was not what the person I bought it from wanted so the car was media blasted stripped and sent to another shop where the fantastic paint job that this car is worthy of was completed. The floor pans were so nice that he decided to go the extra mile and have the car removed off of the frame and have the floors and trunk painted to give it that true show look; they look fantastic! Next, all new badging and wheel well moldings were installed, new door handles, mirror, the windshield stainless was polished and straightened, and both front and rear windshields were replaced. The original motor was completely rebuilt. The numbers matching M22 was gone through as well as new shifter and linkage, clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing, the brake booster was re-annodized, new valve covers, new heater core, detailed firewall with all new components, detailed inner fender wells, lots of attention to detail under the hood with correct neutral hood latch assembly, steering column shaft and hood hinge springs, etc... . It runs and shifts like a brand new car! The interior was not overlooked either, all the gauges were restored and clock converted to a quartz movement so accurate time is kept, the dash housing was pulled and detailed, dash pad reconditioned, seat belts re-dyed, new seat covers front and rear, new door panels front and rear, new scuff plates, new window cranks, new door lock pulls, new headliner, new dome light assembly, steering wheel and shroud restored, new carpeting, new roof rail weather stripping, door weather stripping, U jambs, trunk gasket, hood to cowl, bucket seat head rest locks, bucket seat releases, console restored as well as all new wiring throughout the car so everything works as it should. I know I have overlooked many things that had been done and that were not even mentioned. It's hard to recall all the details with the hundreds and maybe even thousands of hours of labor involved. This Chevelle is outfitted with 4 new Cooper Cobra radials even though some of the pictures were taken and are shown with Firestone Wide-O-Oval tires. They ride better in my opinion. It is number matching motor, trans and the rear has similar date codes so I assume it's original but I could not find a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) sequence on it. However, I do have the protect-o-plate.Any inspections are welcome and encouraged. Sold as is where is with no guarantees or warranties. Build Sheet exists but has not been confirmed as authentic. However the protect-o-plate is original. This car is absolutely awesome and no one could be disappointed with anything about this Chevelle.
