Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

402, automatic, P S, P B, cowl induction, Super Stock wheels, Wide Oval tires, pushbutton radio, buckets and console, Positraction, F41 suspension. Restored like new with excellent paint, chrome, interior and top. Extremely nice and represented as a genuine SS396 but with a period correct 402cid LS3 engine with a CTB code that translates to no 70 Chevelle big block powerplant.

Market commentary

This is modest money for a correct car with enough windage in the price to make room for the peculiar engine code. Its unlikely onlookers will decode the engine on Cruise Night, or care as it burns off its tires. A suspect car, bought at a realistic price that shows the B J bidders knew what they were doing.
