"True Super Sport" , NOT a clone or tribute car dressed as a SS. Build sheet is included.
Non-original, but 1969 dated coded big block 396, According to cast numbers, it is a 1969 dated 396 for an Impala
or other large car model. The air cleaner and valve cover decals were present when I bought it. It was probably a
265 horse two barrel but now has an aluminum intake and Holley four barrel. Don't have head information. It sounds
like it has a mild cam but again I have no details. I have been doing sort of a "freshening up" versus a
restoration and for now, getting into the engine was a low priority. It runs strong and is very torquey. Not solid
lifter, probably more in the 325hp range than 375. Of course if it was the L78 396 we would be discussing a car
costing in the high 30s. Exhaust: original manifolds, mufflers and dual exhaust, no headers. Yes, there is a three
inch crack in the dash panel. I haven't opened the rear end, but according to axle stampings it came with the Eaton
3:31 positraction 12 bolt. To my knowledge, the car needs a new oil pan because someone before me stripped the
drain plug and it has a very slow drip. And it needs the aforementioned dash pad. TKO 500 5-speed transmission .
Original 12 bolt posi-traction rear end. New bell housing, flywheel, clutch, and driveshaft. New radiator, starter
and Mallory HEI distributor.
Straight body with no rust. Solid floors and trunk. California car New seat foam, covers, bucket seat backs,
headrests, and trim. New door panels, pull handles, and window cranks. New fuel tank, sending unit, lines, and fuel
pump. All new brake components front and rear, including calipers, rotors, pads, drums, shoes, and springs .
Speedometer does work. Reverse lights do not work only because they have not been connected to the switch that is
present on the new transmission. Trans also has electronic speedometer sensor which could be hooked to an
electronic speedo if a new gauge package were to be installed.
Garage kept for the past 9 years, and only driven 1200 miles during that time. A big hit at local car shows.
