From the trim tag this Chevy was built in the Van Nuys, CA plant and probably spent most of its time on the west coast. The current owner purchased the car shortly after it had a ‘frame-on’ restoration almost 30 years ago. It has only been driven 22,000 miles in that time frame and has always been kept in the garage.

The present owner also switched out the factory 2-speed Power Glide transmission in favor of a Borg Warner T-10 4-speed. The correct clutch pedal assembly and bell housing were used. The original transmission and parts are included with the sale.

PAINT & BODY: For almost a 30-year-old 2-stage paint job it looks great. There is some bubbling in the lower corners of both doors, and a few ‘touch ups’, but that’s it (see photos). The glass is in very good condition and the windows operate smoothly as well as the hardtop “flippers”. All the chrome and stainless trim are in good to excellent condition with only a few scratches on the rear bumper and guards. Rear taillights are LED.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION: The stock 283 cu in V8 runs smoothly and does not show any leaks or smoke. The Factory Rochester Carb still retains its ID tag. The BW T-10 shifts easily with the backup lights operating by a toggle switch under the dash (note they were on in the video). Mufflers and gas tank look like they were recently replaced and the battery is new.

CHASSIS: Stock suspension appears to have been refreshed with new front bushings, wheel bearings, brakes, rear springs, and shocks. Stock rear differential is running 3.36:1 open gears. Tires are by B.F. Goodrich Silvertown 4-ply 7.50/14D.

INTERIOR: Upholstery, carpeting, dash, headliner, door panels are all in excellent condition. Factory gauges function. Radio did work but was disconnected in favor of a Pioneer AM/FM/Cassette player mounted in the glove box. Floor shift is by Hurst. Clock does not work.

PLEASE BUY WITH CONFIDENCE

While we do our best to provide quality cars with an honest and reliable description and realize the importance of transparency when selling vehicles. We have not built, modified, changed, or personally owned this vehicle. Even though this vehicle is being sold by Kurzmann’s Auto Brokerage we do not know the vehicles complete history since new. We want to be clear and try to answer any questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we do welcome 3rd party independent inspections. Please inquire prior to purchase to make sure the advertised vehicle has not already been sold. If a customer chooses to purchase sight unseen (many of our customers choose this option) the customer accepts the vehicle AS IS and WHERE IS and understands we cannot address concerns after purchase. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to verify the existence of options, accessories, and the vehicle condition before time of sale.

I have been an active eBay seller of cars and other items for more than 20 years and maintained a 100% rating during most of that period. Approximately 12 years ago I started an online service assisting owners of Classic, Vintage, and Muscle cars to sell their vehicles on the internet without them leaving the garage. These are private individual owners who do not want to deal with the public and all the endless phone calls, “Tire kickers”, and other nonsense that goes on when trying to sell a car. They just want someone to sell it!!
