Equipment
454 LS5, automatic with horseshoe shifter, 3.31 Positraction, factory air conditioning, F41 suspension, BFG Radial T/A tires, hood pins, bucket seats, console, later radio.
Condition
Represented as matching numbers and with a body-off restoration finished last year. Dull, possibly original chrome but very good paint and new wheels, fully redone interior. Partially restored engine bay with orange paint flaking off and old-looking exhaust. Some corners cut, but that takes little away from this being an attractive, enjoyable muscle car.
Market commentary
It seems that this SS 454 is impossible to fault in any serious way, except in the price it brought which is by many thousand dollars too small. B-J has many well-informed, well-heeled muscle car fans, all but one of whom seemed to be at the bidders' bar when this SS 454 crossed the block.
