1970 Chevelle SS 396 4 speed-----First things first-This car is a canadian built car-I have the canadian paperwork. This is a matching # car-Engine has never been out of the car-Gm of Canada verifies all #'s-Vin on block matches vin on car---I recently aquired this car-It was not running when I got it. It has not been driven since 1996-The previous owner has had it since 1975---This car will need a full resto-but like I said it is a documented matching # SS--As soon as I trailered it home we did some basic work to it and got it running. We changed the plugs,wires,cap, rotor,-changed the oil and filter-There was no gas in the car-it was bone dry which was a good thing. We put on new brakes and rotors and put a new battery in it. And the car fired right up-It actually runs very very good. Especially for a car that hasnt really run since 1996. I drove the car and it really runs good. Shifts through all the gears great and the clutch is good. Master cyl leaks so the brakes are a little squishy but it stops. Its losing fluid out the master. Now I will give the good and bad--We will start with the good--Its all matching #-including the 4 speed tranny and rear. The interior is in really nice shape-It is all original-the dash has no cracks. Has the full gauge pac-The original radio/8track is missing. The dash is uncut-It has the console and buckets-the driver seat is split on the seam. the others are great. Even the carpet is still good and its original. The car had alot of good options-f41handling,this is an original cranberry red car with black stripes,has the cowl hood,close ratio 4 speed,NK1steering wheel cushioned rim,full instrument panel with clock and tach,please see the build sheet for all the options,the SS wheels are in great shape as are the tires. It has the original spare and ss wheel in the trunk. Now the bad----The car spent the last 6 years outside-The trunk pan will need to be replaced. The frame and floors have no holes or rot but the are scaly-but can be wire brushed --There are no holes or anything-see the pics--My guess it will need fenders,door skinThe paint is old and is cracking-my guess its laquer---The roof and trunk have surface rust-see the pics-----I drove this car and it goes straight down the road-no pulling or veering --no rattles or clunks!!--The motor runs great but like I said depends on what you want to do with it--The car deserves a frame off resto--its almost imposible to find a matching # canadian built chevelle ss Im assuming it had a repaint in the 70's or 80's--But it is a true Cranberry Red Car!.--If you know chevelles then you know that a canadian built car is the on to have because of the documentation that is available--This auction is for a serious buyer looking for the right chevelle to restore--This is the one--On Mar-29-13 at 16:01:58 PDT, seller added the following information: I have had lots of e-mails about this car-My # is 607-377-4789---that is my cell phone. I will be away from my computer-Please call me with any questions you may have---
