Default '70 Chevelle SS396 L34/4-sp

This one is consigned through a dealer who claims it has its original POP and build sheet (though neither are shown in the auction). Actually looks like a pretty good car with what appears to be most of its original black interior, but seems pretty steeply priced for a driver quality resto.

It does has the “L” on the trim tag so that’s a positive…..IMO

But there’s a lot wrong under the hood for a $90k price tag…..

It looks like a vacuum pump for the brakes.

----So many wrong things under the hood, but what made me go crazy is the owners idea of tail pipes and exhaust tips. I'm still repeating "what, what what". Sorry if this is a bit strident, but sometimes I call em' like I see em"!....Bill S

The vacuum pump should not be needed with a stock rebuild of an L34. I don't recall if there were any cam spec's listed, but if it needs a pump with even a mild cam, there is something wrong with the engine/timing.
When I saw the tail pipes hanging too low and the goofy tips along with all the other "stuff' is about when I just shook my head and closed the link.
It COULD have been a very nice example with just few more hours and parts to make things appear correct...

The only thing worse is when I see Chevy Bow Tie exhaust tips. LOL
