This restoration project was started about 10 years ago and the car sat until December 2013 when the project was resumed. Motor was installed in early 2014 and then all the finishing touches misc items were done throughout the remainder of 2014. Many of the final-finishing touches-items-details were just complete these past several months. It's now all done and ready!! There is approx. 100 easy break in miles on it and only nice day weather miles last Fall. Car has always been garaged/covered-this restoration has never seen rain and only dusted/polished/waxed. This car is a true SS not a clone. I do not have a built sheet for it and it is not being sold as a numbers matching/documented SS car. This car is truly in a class of its own with the way it has been restored-built tastefully to please even the most picky-fussy car lovers. This is one of the nicest 1970 Chevelle SS cars that you will come across in this price range. The Astro blue color is one of the best colors in my opinion and everyone comments on how gorgeous the car is and how beautiful the color is. It is the original color(code 25) of the car along with the black interior configuration per the trim tag.. It will get attention wherever you take it-GUARANTEED! With this motor-trans-rearend setup the car will run mid-10 second quarter mile passes at approx. 128-130mph by unbolting the front sway bar and installing a set of slicks. I do not have time slips as it has never been to the dragstrip since being completed as it sits. However I have been around cars and involved in building cars restoring them and drag racing for 30+ years owning NOS pro charged and turbo charged cars so I know what it takes to run 8 910 or 11 second quarter mile times. This car still has endless possibilities if more power is wanted/needed. The motor was built with the best of parts and could be pro charged turbo charged or sprayed with a NOS( nitrous) big shot kit and it would be a total monster. As the car current sits now the car does it all....its all show and go tastefully finished to impress! The pictures do not do this car any justice and the car looks/sounds just amazing in person. This car has a great/smooth ride everything is tight feeling like a new car has a stock appearing stance and has great street/idle quality/driving manners. It is setup to be a very user friendly driver and on pump gas. The first serious buyer that sees/hears the car will buy it I have no doubt.
