What a beauty! Said to have 25,155 actual miles! #'s matching 396! Real SS with "138" in the VIN. California car, that's where it was originally built and sold. NCRS shipping data report included. Fully restored to factory condition with fit and finishes that are super impressive. From a private collection of GM cars that had the same owner for the last 30 years. This is the one you are looking for!
EXTERIOR: Exceptionally handsome! No vinyl top, just nice and clean metal from the roof to the rockers. Chateau Slate is the second rarest color from this year. The repaint looks excellent and was applied with great attention to detail. It was then polished like glass to a smooth and reflective finish. All the windows were replaced as well as the rubber seals and fuzzy strips. The chrome was refinished, and the remaining trim is nice and shiny. Part of the original SS package is the hood with dual inserts, blacked out tail panel, and blacked out front grill, they are all in tremendous shape. The taillights and bezels appear to be original and present extremely well. It has the perfect stance and is rolling on a set of reproduction rally wheels with chrome rings and center caps. They are wrapped in reproduction Wide Oval Redline tires.
INTERIOR: No complaints here! Totally restored with factory finishes. The bench seats are reupholstered in matching vinyl and are very comfortable. The door panels and side panels were replaced and look fantastic. The dash pad, headliner, sun visors, rear shelf, and carpeting all look new. It has the optional 2 spoke steering wheel that feels great in the hand. It is equipped with the factory correct am/fm radio and climate controls. The glove box liner was replaced and all the interior metal was neatly painted black. The builder added Sunpro oil pressure and temperature gauges under the dash to monitor the vitals. The dome light is working.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: That's pretty! The #'s matching 396 big block looks picture perfect. It is nicely dressed with correct chrome air cleaner and valve covers. All the hoses and belts were replaced and neatly run. It has the original style distributor with vacuum advance and heat shields for the plug wires. It is equipped with power steering and power brakes. The alternator and Harrison radiator both look fresh. The squirters and horns are hooked up. The bay is complete with factory style inspection marks. The original Optikleen washer solvent bottle is a really cool touch. The original cowl tag is still in place. The latch assembly and hood hinges were restored. The underside of the hood has fresh insulation and is nicely painted satin black just like the fender wells and firewall.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Complete and proper! The underside of the trunk lid and jamb are both neatly painted body color. The weatherstrip was replaced and reproduction stickers were added. Inside is a full-size spare tire and jack assembly. Under the mat is all rock solid and rust-free metal that has a nicely applied spatter finish paint. Even the latch mechanism was replaced.
UNDERSIDE: The original metal is pristine! The floors, braces, inner rockers and even the chassis components are smooth as a chalkboard. It has been prepped and neatly painted satin black. The steering and suspension front to back have been completely rebuilt. It has a fresh looking factory type dual exhaust system. The fuel tank and lines were both replaced. The brakes were completely rebuilt, lines and hoses included, plus the e-brake is hooked up. Looking up at the engine it is spotless Chevy Orange and has the correct starter. The Powerglide automatic transmission also looks fresh. A restored driveshaft leads back to its original 12 bolt rear with 3.31 gears. It is detailed under here right down to assembly line markings.
SERVICE: We inspect each car and we adjusted the turn signal cancel, adjusted the glovebox latch, cleaned the headlight switch connection, fixed a loose connection at the regulator and lubed the left rear window track. All very minor tweaks, this is an exceptional car!
CONCLUSION: The quintessential muscle car! This one is done totally right, plus it has the #'s matching engine as a bonus. I have nothing left to say, cars this nice and original sell themselves!
