1970 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454

1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Additional Info:

This car was brought back to life and ready to go. Previous owner had this car for over 35 years. He restored it in mid 90`s with a lot of good parts the way he wanted it to be. This screams classic hot rod with candy apple red paint, tweed interior, Chrome dressed big block with lots of power. Drag style car with jacked up rear suspension and mag style wheels. This would be a great car to drive as is if you like the old rough around the edges look. It would also be a great starting point for an easy restoration and build it any way YOU want. If you wanted to build a Chevelle just finding a car can cost you 15,000 - 20,000 for a body shell that needs everything and most need rust repair. With this car you get a completely solid California car that does not need body panels or floor patches. Also this car runs! This was originally a 1971 Chevelle SS 4 speed car. It still has the 4 speed floor panel, steering column and pedal. The previous owner had a new at the time bought a new Gen VI 454. he had CNC ported Edelbrock aluminum heads and Isky hydraulic roller cam, intake and Hooker headers installed. It was driven around like this for years. However the engine builder forgot to put the cam retaining plate back in so the cam wore the gear off the back. the car would not run and the owner passed away. I bought this car non running condition. But, now the motor is properly rebuilt and it runs great! The current rebuild has about 100 miles on it. listed is all the parts on this car and there is a big stack of receipt's that go with it.

The exterior has been painted in candy apple red in 1996. He spent a lot of money on this paint and that was back then. The sides and door jams are still in great condition just chipped and scratched, scraped poles in the parking garage a few times on the passenger side and has some scratches. The trunk, hood and roof are faded and dull. The hood is fiberglass pin on style. I will offer a stock steel bolt on hood if you buy this car. I left the fiberglass hood on because it matches and looks better than a flat black hood. This car needs a repaint. You could paint it any color you want and not have a lot of bodywork to do. All the weatherstripping, windowfelts was replaced and the moldings look great. All the glass is original and in very good condition. The doors open and close nicely with no sagging and and solid thud when closing the doors. The front bumper is a new reproduction. The core support is an original 1970 Big block with tab.
Car has a clean California title and can bee seen in Anaheim Ca. Must be picked up i will not ship. You will have to arrange your own shipping.
