This is an older restoration and has been a daily driver for the last 3 years. Last winter the shelter it was parked under, partially collapsed and did very minor damage. A small crease on the roof which can be seen through the vinyl and the antennae was bent which cracked the paint around the mounting hole. I pulled the right fender off to do the repair and noticed the lower rear quarter was improperly repaired during the restoration. I pulled the other fender off and it was the same. I bought the correct patch panels and welded them on and finished it to the primer stage. They still need to be block sanded and color matched. As this was a driver and had some dings and scratches I thought I would take care of all that. No time. We are in the process of moving and I'm taking an overseas contract. It would take very little to finish. This is not a turn key car that you can enter in a show and win anything but it is turn key that you could drive it to the west coast and back with no issues. This car gets driven often and has been very reliable. View video on casey savidge channel I bought this from Streetside Classics in Charlotte 5 years ago. They said it was a real SS and not a clone but didn't have the documentation. I'm not a purist or collector and wasn't really concerned about the history. This was a good looking solid car and I did not investigate further. I added several thousand in upgrades but kept all the original parts. Interior: Everything looks to be new. Needs dome light lens. There is a stock radio in the dash but no speakers. They were old and cracked so I tossed them and didn't get around to replacing them. Engine: Replaced cam with a Comp Cams 268H .485 lift and duration of 219. Replaced the quadrajet with an Edelbrock carb. Replaced the points style distributor with a new GM HEI unit. Replaced exhaust manifolds with Hedman headers and a Pypes 3'' exhaust system and Dynamax mufflers. Installed new radiator. Made custom battery cables from welding cable. They are more flexible, durable and carry more amps. Chassis: SPC performance series tubular front lower control arms, ride height adjustment kit, SPC pro series coil spring set, Street comp stage 2 plus prolite arms, Currie tubular rear control arms/adjustable upper with johnny joint, Currie billet aluminum lower control arms, Hellwig sway bar 1.25" tubular front bar with severe duty end links, Hellwig sway bar 1 1/8" tubular adjustable rear bar, Bilstien HD front and rear shocks, rear disc brake kit, Steering box and pump were replaced with a quick ratio unit from a 1979 WS6 Trans am. This car desperately needs 17" wheels to compliment the suspension system and add a little more ride height. Driveline: Turbo 400 trans believe to be stock. Eaton posi track rear end. 12 bolt GM rear.

After all the questions I have been getting, I have done some research on the engine. I knew It was not a numbers matching engine but it is a correct code 350HP L34 396.
