The Chevelle SS convertible that is being offered has had a 100-percent complete, body-off restoration. The undercarriage has been prepared in the same meticulous manner and the body is stated to be “laser-straight.” No expense was spared and it results in a pristine restoration that is indicated as “one of the finest examples.”

The Chevrolet is powered by a 396-cid big-block V-8 engine that is connected to a Turbo 400 automatic transmission. The exhaust is routed through a 2.5-inch diameter stainless steel dual system from front-to-back. Additional features on this exciting car include a console, tachometer, cassette player; power steering and brakes.

The restoration process includes all new glass and the refurbishing of all of the stainless steel and chrome elements. The Rally wheels are complemented by redline tires. The interior is in new condition, and the convertible top is stated to be excellent. The Chevelle has been properly stored in a climate-controlled environment.

After Pontiac’s 1964 GTO option created the musclecar, the rest of General Motors’ divisions wanted in. The recipe was pretty simple: put a big engine in an intermediate-size car and add enough panache to create an iconic model. Chevrolet had the basic ingredient for a musclecar: the intermediate Chevelle introduced in 1964. From the beginning, Chevelle offered a Super Sport option for its hardtop coupe and convertible. This would serve as the upscale amenity part of a musclecar.
