Equipment
454 345hp, automatic, Cruise, P S, P B, P W, P locks, AM FM, Edelbrock intake and carb, tube headers. Origil intake, carb, exhaust manifolds, cowl induction air cleaner and A C compressor in trunk. Restored 15 years ago by Jerald Seagar of Cedar Rapids, IA well known for the relentless persuit sic of perfection. Jerald was less than relentless here. Fair paint, scruffy origil interior and dash, tacky underhood with generous application of flat black everywhere. Good chrome. Scroungy and tired but sound.
Market commentary
Bought appropriately for its condition which is going to require lots and lots of attention, and no small amount of money, before it reaches presentable. This is a disappointing car even with the current enthusiasm for big block Chevelles. All the elements are here, however, and its an opportunity to drive it through the summer and then employ many winter evenings putting it back together the way it should be.
