Offered is one of the finest versions of the big block 454 cu in 390 hp SS Chevelle on the planet. A finer complete nut and bolt “built from scratch” rendition of Chevrolet’s popular muscle car couldn’t be found anywhere. The attention to detail and quality of the build go beyond description. What makes this Chevelle special, is the driving and comfort features the consigner addressed in designing this one of a kind SS. The flawless silver paint accented with black rally stripes are complemented with rare red interior to provide a unique combination to model. The entire drive train including big block 454, 4-speed transmission and posi-traction rear differential were all rebuilt to original factory specifications. Try to find another Chevelle SS 454 with the combination of power steering, power brakes, bucket seats with console, 4-speed transmission, tilt wheel, tinted glass, full original SS gauge package, power seat, power windows, air conditioning and functional cowl-induction hood. They don’t exist! All chrome is either redone or replaced with new. The entire car from underside to engine bay to cabin are spotless and beyond new. Even the “expert” would be forced to admit that this restoration was built with a “cost is no option” attitude and focus on originality. An original Chevelle SS 454 restored to this level would surely bring a six-figure sum. This rendition, given its quality, comfort options, and powerful drive train provide for an enjoyable driving experience as well as memories of the height of the muscle car era at thousands less than the matching numbers model. A true bargain given the attention to original, time and money invested in the build.- Power Steering- Power Brakes- Power Windows- Bucket Seats- 454/390 Engine- 4-speed- Est. $35-45,000.00
