1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport

Just email me at patlombrana(at)juno.com . 1970 Chevelle with the L78 engine (396 CI w 375HP). I have owned the car since September of 2003. It was delivered with 29413 miles on the odometer it now has 32568 which represent about 300 miles per year. I will not use adjectives like awesome (the Grand Canyon & Great wall are more deserving of the moniker) born (it was produced on Oct 21st 1969 in Atlanta GA) since it is a car but in this case a rare investment. There are a few hundred LS6 cars out there for sale on any given day. I suspect a few more then actually were manufactured aka 67 Tri Carb Vettes and 69 1 2 Z-28 s. Even the 100K cars have flaws for example the radio ground (Page 878 of the ASM) is never on any of them. Take notes kids I have original build sheet (see picture) it is old and yellow but I took the picture. The block is replacement CE CKO and the heads set for unleaded gas. In every way I tried my damndest to adhere to my very dog eared assembly manual. I have about 25 lbs of other books journals and receipts that will be in the trunk of your investment. I trudged the junk yards in five states to get OEM parts whenever possible.So the fan coil alternator oil cap radiator cap clips etc. are OEM. The block is a CE CKO (402 4 speed)factory warranty replacement and the heads set up for unleaded gas. I am too stooped to rig stuff regardless and commons sense dictates that rigging while lending individuality always decreases the value. While it s fun to buy 500 in chrome at WalMart you will need to find people to admire your egocentric handiwork. It s a hell of a lot harder to go OEM junkyards are lousy with woodticks wasps and lack proper restroom facilities. I consistently rebuild the damn Holley carb every spring. Have the OEM alternator fuel pump (changed out all the fuel lines) replaced the fuel tank correct exhaust system (with resonators) added an NOS AM Radio. Annually change all fluids drained the tank and blew out the fuel lines. Use Teflon gaskets on the bowls of the ridiculously expensive 4557 correct Holley. Car has console buckets added by the previous owners. The car is a high end driver you cannot eat off the chassis as it is dealer rustproofed. My aforementioned lack of a life did not include this painstaking removal process for a driver. I have never been to a car show where the couple with the lawn chairs (that match the paint on the car) were dining off the rotisserie floor (light dull red ) pan. These 900mg lithium control types always have that Look but Don t Touch sign on their life defining Chevelle.
