#s match and ground up restored! The L72 427 making 425 horsepower is muscle in its rawest form. Shifting those gears, hearing the roar of the pipes is exhilarating! It's going to turn some heads for sure!

EXTERIOR: One of the all-time best looking body designs! This one is an excellent example; it is straight without damage and fits really well. The doors shut like a new car, the headlights open and close properly. It includes the bulge hood indicating there is a big block underneath it! It's a factory Rally Red car as indicated on the trim tag. The paint is polished to a high gloss finish. The chrome and trim are shiny and fits right. The side exhaust not only looks great but sounds great too. The knock off wheels also look great and are in pristine shape. Each one is wearing BFG radial goldline tires.

INTERIOR: I am sitting in the car and it's very tidy and authentic. In front of me is a clean set of original gauges that all work including the new quartz movement clock. Correct 6,500 redline tachometer for this motor. I'm also looking at a genuine teakwood wheel which is on a rare telescopic column. The dash pads are in excellent shape, the glove box door is excellent. Inside the glovebox is a working light, owner's manual, and a sales brochure. Down on the floor the carpets front to back are in excellent shape and there's a set of Lloyd embroidered floor mats. I'm sitting on some genuine leather upholstered seats with matching leather center armrest. The original Chevy bow tie seat belts are still in place. The center console is very clean with the correct style chrome shifter. The door panels are in excellent, unabused condition: there is a small crack the passenger armrest. The chrome handles are all sparkling. Up above the trim, headliner, visors, and mirror look like new. The interior lights all work.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The L-72 427 producing 425 horsepower is legendary! They feature 4 bolt mains, solid lifters, a hot cam, 11:1 compression, big port heads matched to an aluminum intake with a huge Holley carb and more. Rebuilt by Bill Caudell Racing Engines, we just rebuilt the carb. It's all stock in appearance. It even has the correct valve covers with dimples, ignition shielding, the right air cleaner and stickers. It has deep groove pulleys on the motor, so the belts don't fly off! The hoses and clamps are reproduction, so are the spring clamp battery cables. We just installed the correct battery hold down. It has optional power brakes with correct cadmium plated brake booster. The windshield washers are hooked up, alternator has been replaced, radiator looks fresh.

UNDERSIDE: It was claimed to have had a body off frame restoration at one time. As of now it looks clean and proper. It has been inspected and is in good working order too. These have independent suspension front and back. A previous owner replaced the idler arm, shocks, ball joints, swaybar bushings and driveshafts. We replaced the rear wheel bearings and spindles. It also came with 4 wheel disc brakes: the lines, hoses and calipers were replaced. We replaced the e-brake shoes and cables then adjusted them properly. The factory side exhaust was replaced and sounds amazing! Looking up at the motor it is clean Chevy Orange with a correct starter. It has the heavy duty M22 “Rock Crusher” 4-speed manual trans. We replaced the speedo gear to make the speedometer accurate. In back is a posi with 3.08 cruising gears. The fiberglass floors look great, it is complete with the spare tire carrier too. The frame is solid and painted black.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you the best cars within reason.

What other investment is going to deliver this much happiness? Just looking at it is very satisfying, driving it is off the charts!
