This car is flat out rowdy! If a 496 cubic inch engine with 600
horsepower isn't enough to entice you it's also received a thorough
and professional restoration by D&D Rods of Sonora, California
and looks totally sweet. We have a large stack of receipts to
document the restoration. Be the king of the streets in this super
quick and super sharp Chevelle. Fast and loud!
EXTERIOR: This car will turn heads everywhere you go! The tuxedo
color combination is a classic and highly desirable choice. Dover
White paint has been painstakingly applied then sanded and polished
to a smooth and slick finish. It has a great shine to it also. The
black vinyl top has been replaced. All the body panels are aligned
appropriately, and the doors close like a new car. It has all
original glass, bumpers, and most of the chrome trim. The
blacked-out SS 396 grill appears to be new and is paired with very
attractive zapper 575 LED chrome projector headlights. It has a
very attractive SS style dual bulge hood with chrome inserts. Dual
side view mirrors have been added. It has aftermarket Hurst Vision
rims with staggered wheels that are size 295/50R15 in back and
235/60R15 up front.
INTERIOR: The majority of the parts of this interior are new. The
front bucket seats and rear bench seat have been reupholstered.
They have a nice supportive feel to them. It has seat belts
installed all the way around. The center console appears original
but in great shape and now houses an aftermarket Sun tachometer,
B&M Street Bandit ratchet shifter, Vintage Air A/C controls,
and a toggle switch for the electronic exhaust dumps. The dash area
is new with Auto Meter gauges, instrument panel, new dash pad,
vents etc. A triple gauge cluster has also been added under the
dash. The steering column and SS steering wheel appear to be OEM.
It has a Kenwood CD/Bluetooth radio with a Rockford fosgate
amplifier that also has hands-free calling. The rear shelf has 6x9
speakers installed and the kick panels have 5.5" speakers as well.
The car has been completely rewired and has a new harness. The
carpet, door panels, headliner, sun visors, and rearview mirror all
appear to be new. The dome light is working.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: At the belly of the beast lies a raging 496
cubic inch engine with 600 horsepower. It was professionally built
by B&R Machine in Stockton California. It is outfitted with
many aftermarket parts including but not limited to a Holley 850
double pumper carburetor, Edelbrock performer RPM intake manifold,
Edelbrock aluminum heads, stainless steel roller rockers, Comp Cams
roller camshaft and lifters, and an MSD ignition. A performance
racing aluminum radiator with dual electric fans has also been
added. The builder incorporated a lot of chrome and polished
stainless under the hood including air conditioning compressor,
alternator, valve covers, air cleaner, serpentine drive system,
pulleys, and brake master cylinder. Additionally, the oil system
has been upgraded to a Hamburger's remote oil filter and pressure
gauge. It also features modern power steering and chrome power
brake system. The wiper motor has been replaced and the squirters
are hooked up. The underside of the hood, fender wells, and
firewall have all been neatly painted semi-gloss black and look
slick. A new latch mechanism and hinges have been added as well as
hardware. An Optima red top battery provides the cranking
power.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid has been painted
body color. Reproduction stickers have been added. The weather
stripping has been replaced. The floor pan metal is solid and
painted with a spatter finish. The trunk is fully carpeted and
complete with a full-size spare and jack assembly. The spare tire
has a vinyl cover.
UNDERSIDE: This car has received a ground up restoration and the
bottom side is nicely detailed! All the steering components
including the gearbox were replaced during restoration and are in
great shape. The center link is brand new. It has the F-41
suspension which includes swaybars and boxed rear control arms. All
the springs and shocks were replaced as well. It has power brakes
with discs up front and drums in the back. All the brake lines look
fresh, and the emergency brake is hooked up. The exhaust has been
upgraded with long tube Hooker headers, electronic dumps, an
h-pipe, Flowmaster mufflers, and OEM style oval SS exhaust tips.
The exhaust system has a split personality. It sounds fairly tame
when the dumps are closed but open them up and get a bit rowdy. The
fuel tank as well as straps and hardware were all replaced during
restoration. Looking up at the motor I see a Moroso 6-quart oil pan
and a high torque starter. There are no visible leaks. Same goes
for the Turbo 400 automatic transmission. It looks fresh and clean
and has been dressed up with a finned aluminum pan and a chrome
transmission shield. That transfers power to a 12 bolt Eaton posi
rear end with 3.23 gears and 28 spline axles. The frame and floors
all look solid and have been neatly painted with satin black
paint.
SERVICE: Our team of professional mechanics has completed a
thorough inspection of this vehicle and repaired or replaced the
following items: charged the AC system and rewired the turn
signals.
Right out of California, this is an absolutely gnarly car! It was
professionally built the right way using top quality parts. It is
very dialed in and ready to hit the streets hard!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
