1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Engine

THE BODY ON THIS CAR IS VERY STRAIGHT AND VERY SOLID WITH NO RUST THAT I CAN FIND. THE FLOORS, TRUNK PAN, ROCKERS, LOWER QUARTERS, LOWER FENDERS, DOORS, ETC. ARE ALL ROCK SOLID. THE BODY IS NICE AND STRAIGHT TOO AND THE PANELS LINE UP WELL. THE CAR WAS PAINTED SEVERAL YEARS AGO BUT IS STILL VERY PRESENTABLE AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS. IT IS NOT A SHOW CAR BUT I DO TAKE IT TO SOME LOCAL SHOWS AND CRUISE INS AND IT ALWAYS DRAWS A CROWD. I WOULD CLASSIFY THIS AS A NICE DRIVER QUALITY CAR SIMPLY BECAUSE THE RESTORATION WAS DONE SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND IT NOW SHOWS SOME NORMAL WEAR FROM USE. THE INTERIOR IS NICE AS WELL WITH ONLY SOME MINOR WEAR SHOWING IN A FEW PLACES. ALL THE LIGHTS AND GAUGES WORK AS DO THE WIPERS AND AC (NEEDS CHARGING). OVERALL, THIS IS A VERY SHARP CAR INSIDE AND OUT!

MECHANICALLY, THE CAR IS SOUND. THE MOTOR STARTS RIGHT UP AND THE ELECTRIC CHOKE WORKS AS IT SHOULD. ONCE WARMED UP IT HAS A NICE SOUNDING IDLE AND YOU CAN REALLY HEAR THE BIG CAM. IT HOLDS GREAT OIL PRESSURE AND DOES NOT RUN HOT. THE MOTOR PULLS HARD! THROUGH THE GEARS AND THE TURBO 400 TRANSMSSION SHIFTS NICE AND FIRM. IT IS A LOT OF FUN TO DRIVE AND SOUNDS MEAN GOING DOWN THE ROAD. JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU'VE GOT IT POINTED STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD BECAUSE IT WILL LIGHT UP THE TIRES AT ANY SPEED WHILE IN FIRST GEAR AND A LITTLE MORE WHEN IT SHIFTS HARD INTO SECOND! THE CAR GOES DOWN THE ROAD STRAIGHT AND STOPS WELL TOO.
