1967 Chevelle Super Sport clone car. I purchased this great car from a fellow in Florida about 4 years ago. I bought it based on many photos and the write up about the car. When the car arrived I noticed that there were a few things that hadn’t been mentioned. First of all, the Saginaw 4 speed tranny was very loose and locked in 4th all the time. The rear end was a weak 10 bolt that my mechanic said that if I had put the pedal down hard, I would have parts all along the road. There were also some small rust bubbles on the bottom of each door and the front of the hood.. My mechanic who specializes in late 60’s Chevys, recommended a few things that I had him go ahead and do. New model specific Tremec TKO 5 speed tranny from American Powertrain with Hurst shifter (tachs at 2200 at 75 mph). New drive shaft from same company. New clutch. New 12 bolt rear end by Moser with 355 gears and disk breaks on rear. He cut out the rust bubbles and welded in new metal with new bolero red paint job. He also thoroughly checked out the big block engine and tuned it all up. It is a rebuilt 396/375 hp. bored .30 over. The car also has MSD ignition, blinker tach, flow master exhaust that sounds amazing, Cooper Cobra tires, American Racing Mags with center spinners. Newer carpet and headliner. All gauges, lights and windshield wiper works. The car is not perfect and I will be forthright about what I have noticed about the car. There is a radio that probably works, but there are no speakers in the car. The flasher button on the steering column does not function. The console clock does not work but you can get reproductions that would be an easy install. I was planning on getting a reproduction radio bezel because the one in there is a little dull. Some of the trim around the outside of the body is not shiny new and shows a little age. The packing around the windshield on the inside is a little puckered as they pressed it in place. I believe that could be replaced without much problem. The glass on the car is all good with no cracks or chips that I can see. The car is fast, handles very well and steers straight. All in all, I have really enjoyed owning this car. It is a real head turner and I get glowing comments wherever I go. I have only put about 600 miles on the car since I have owned it. With all that I have had done to the car, I am about 30 grand into it. I have only taken it to a few local shows each year and have won a few trophies. I hate to sell the car, but it’s time to move on to something else. I will honestly answer any questions you may have about the car. I forgot to mention, just to the upper left of the back seat, there is some scuffing in the black paint. I have also ordered a new rearview mirror. The old one does not stay up on it's own. I have since put up a video. The part that shows the exhaust when the car is running, it is water vapor coming out of the exhaust because I had just started it up. The engine does not smoke at all.
