Sorry if this is a repost.

Original `1970 LS 5 SS454 car.....notice the Dash.

My 72 is a malibu I made look like an SS...the SS dash I have came from a 70...wonder if he would trade...lol

Only $34,000.00

shouldn't that 454 emblem be centered under the SS.

For that kind of money I would think they would scrounge up some grill emblems that aren't pitted up and nasty. Also what is up with the black goop under the fender emblem? Looks like the SS emblems are stuck on with double sided tape or something...

I may be wrong, so correct me. But isn't that the wrong intake for a LS5? Shouldn't be cast iron and painted orange? LS6 had the aluminum intakes as well as the L78 396/375HP.

Yup...they couldn't be bothered to find the Dorman barrel nuts carried by most auto parts stores, so they used some weatherstrip adhesive...A LOT OF IT!!!:sad:

It has an opulent green interior. Is opulent another word nasty?

Show quality? Maybe in the sense of 'show me what else is wrong.' l:)


Original `1970 LS 5 SS454 car.....notice the dash.

They even kept the 72 lighter with the international symbol on it. Obviously the rest of the interior wasn't given much thought; looks like original door panel with incorrect SS emblem, wear marks on the seat beading, etc.

I agree nowhere near a $34000 car...low $20s would more like it for a driver.

Dale is the winner!!! Show Quality? Perhaps driver quality is a better description for this car.

Gotta love the cable ties on the heater hoses, the replacement master cylinder, Eddy intake....
says original LS5 with rebuilt motor. I'd like to see the engine codes and stampings on this one. How about the missing underside pics......cowl tag pic?
Could be the vid and my computer monitor but does that color look right?
