Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to check out my car!! I will be sad to see the SS go, but I am looking to get some cash put together for a business I am starting up. I purchased this car from a nice fellow in Ohio in April of 2010. I grew up hearing stories of the car my father had, it happened to be exactly like this one!! He also ended up selling it for the same reason I am selling mine, I guess history repeats itself after all. When I bought the car it's odometer read 65,610 miles, I haven't even put 4,000 miles on this car since I owned it. The longest trip it made was coming back from Ohio, that was fun!! Restoring cars was this guys passion, and he spared no expense on this Super Sport. He purchased the car in 1999, restored it from 2001 to 2003, going over everything in the process. I bought the car in the condition shown in the pictures. He took the stereo system out when he sold it, I put one back in it, and added a wooden steering wheel, that's all!!
Here is the nitty gritty on the car:
- Paint - 2003 GM Cadillac "White Diamond"
- Interior - black, restored to Original GM Specs
- Dual electric cooling fans
- 9.5:1 compression ratio
- Muncie M-22 "Rock Crusher" 4 speed (rebuilt)
- 396 V-8 naturally aspirated ( rebuilt)
- Hurst competition plus shifter
- Chevy 12 bolt posi rear end 3.08.1
- Stock ride height
- Stock GM suspension
- Original drum brakes restored (work great too!!)
- Hedman ceramic coated headers
- custom dual exhaust w/ chrome tips
- Flow-Master mufflers
- BF Goodrich Traction T/A Tires (225-55 R17)
- American Torque Thrust II Wheels
I have all the receipts for the work done to the car since 2001 when the restoration began, it is quite thick!!
Well, hopefully you have made it this far! Here is the full disclosure on the car.
- Despite being a newly rebuilt engine, it does use oil (as everyone runs away from this listing). I bought the car knowing this (see it can be done). The amount of oil is uses has never changed since I purchased it, I am too nervous to have it worked on because the car runs amazingly well, and I fear that it would never run the same if someone was to touch it.
- Some person (ok, lets say asshole) managed to run into the corner of my car. I did not ever find out who it was, actually happened when the car was in a parking lot, at a car show for that matter. There was no body damage, but it did take a piece out of my paint job. I will provide a picture, even though I hate looking at it. The paint on the car is amazing, such a classy looking paint job.
- This car does not have a heater core in it, I never take it out in the snow or cold, so it hasn't bothered me : )
- Other than the above stuff, it leaks a drop of oil or two when sitting for extended periods of time, the engine, transmission and under body are amazingly clean.
Please, please, please contact me with any questions. I am accepting cash only on this sale. The car was appraised in 2006 for $47,000. I purchased this car for $38,000, I would definitely like to be in between that range when I sell it, need all the help I can get. If you are going to have this car shipped, you will have to set everything up, however, if you choose to come pick it up yourself, and you are not local, I would be happy to pick you up at the airport in Denver!!

eBay Find of the Day: 1990 Chevy 1500 454 SS with just 7 miles
Sun, Jan 4 2015When trawling the classifieds either on a buying mission or merely a time-wasting mission, we spend a lot of time poring over photographs comparing the seller's idea of "Like New!" with our idea of it. It's hard to argue with seven original miles on the odometer, though, which is what this 1990 Chevrolet 1500 454 SS has. It's being sold by Country Chevrolet on eBay, the same dealer who sold the truck to its one and only owner 25 years ago. The purchaser bought two of them and left this one in a garage under a car cover, said garage being less than seven miles away from the showroom floor. Better yet, you can buy with confidence because the seller "has collected all records," which we expect would be the slimmest manilla folder in the history of receipt-keeping. For those unfamiliar, the 454 SS was a half-ton, regular cab, 2WD pickup powered by a 454 cubic inch (7.4-liter) V8 with 230 horsepower and 385 pound-feet of torque shifting through a three-speed transmission. This was at the same time the Chevrolet Corvette used a 5.7-liter V8 producing 250 hp and 350 lb-ft. The pickup rode on exclusive wheels and only came in black with red cloth inside. The only extra-cost option on this example is an $18 locking fuel filler cap, which, according to the 454ss forum, means it should have cost about $18,460 out the door, the equivalent of about $34,000 today. At the time of writing there are zero bids, but proceedings open at $45,000 and Country Chevrolet wants $49,000 if you have to have your time capsule right now.
