DESCRIPTION
Rare SS 454, #s matching and documented with original build sheet! Frame off restored and loaded up with nice features: A/C, power windows, tilt factory gauges etc. The build sheet is crucial to verify it is a real SS454, otherwise there is no way to tell. this one also has manual, literature, and receipts. This is a gentleman\'s luxury muscle car. It is sleek, sophisticated, sporty and stunning! This one is an absolute knockout!
EXTERIOR: All this gold makes me think investment grade! The color combination is nostalgic and absolutely beautiful. The paint was applied with great attention to detail then polished to a smooth and slick finish. All the panels are nicely aligned with good gaps. Looking down the side of the body it is nice and straight with smooth contours and crisp lines. The big heavy doors close easily with minimal effort. All the glass looks great, and it has new rubber seals and fuzzy strips too. The vinyl top was also replaced. The bumpers and the remaining bright work all have a beautiful shine to them. The fender mounted fiber optic turns signal indicators are one of my favorite options ever, and these work excellent. The grille appears to be original. It also has the correct SS 454 badging. It is sitting on 15\" rally rims wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.
INTERIOR: Everything has been redone and looks fantastic! It has factory air conditioning and power windows. The headliner does not sag, and the dash is not cracked. It has the factory gauge package including a tachometer surrounded by a faux wood grain bezel unique to the Monte Carlo. It also has a modern set of gauges under the dash which the owner felt for confident in. It\'s in great shape. It\'s equipped with a tilt column and a reproduction deluxe steering wheel. It has a professionally installed digital stereo with Bluetooth capabilities and hands-free microphone plus additional speakers added in the kick panels, rear self and trunk. We have a receipt totaling $3900 for the stereo components and install. The cup holder just slides into the ashtray and can easily be removed. The seats have been nicely reupholstered, and the rear has seatbelts too. The factory center console with automatic shifter and storage compartment is in great shape. The carpet has been replaced and the dome light is working.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The original #\'s matching LS-5 454 engine is still in place. We verified dates, desirable \"512\" casting # and the stamp pad looks original. It is very stock in appearance: valve covers, manifolds, carb etc. It was professionally disassembled and rebuilt, and we have the receipt including all the details. It was factory rated at 360 horsepower and this one is equipped with air conditioning, power steering and power brakes. All the components look fresh and proper. The hoses have been replaced, the squirters are hooked up and the battery is properly secured. The underside of the hood is complete with insulation. The firewall and fender wells have been neatly painted black.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and jamb are painted shiny just like the body. The weatherstrip was replaced and reproduction stickers were added. There is a custom professional installed subwoofer enclosure built in. The trunk pan metal is nice and solid with a neatly applied spatter finish paint. The trunk light is also working.
UNDERSIDE: Full frame off restoration and looks great! Everything was rebuilt including the steering and suspension using new components. It has the F-41 suspension including front and rear swaybars and boxed rear control arms. It also has front disc brakes, and the emergency brake is hooked up. The exhaust system was replaced and has an h-pipe with Flowmaster mufflers and the correct tips exiting under the rear bumper. Looking up at the original #\'s matching 454 engine it is painted Chevy orange and has no visible leaks. The Turbo 400 automatic transmission also appears to be serviced. The 12 bolt posi rear end was equipped with highway gearing from the factory. The floors are solid and rust free with a thin undercoating and were freshened up with black paint.
SERVICE: We ran this car through our shop and only had to charge the air conditioner. It was extremely dialed in when we purchased it.
The perfect blend of impressive performance, striking design and comfort! It embodies a legacy of speed and luxury the resonates strongly with car enthusiasts still to this day. The SS was only available in 1970 and 454 was the only engine choice. 3,823 were made making it a very rare car. I have been doing this a long time and can count on one hand how many I remember seeing. I lost count of the SS Chevelles I\'ve seen a long time ago! Think fast because it\'s not going to last long!
