FUEL INJECTED 455 CID

History: Only 12,921 were produced from 1973 to 1978 and only 623 were 23’ units. Purchased in 2016. It was then fully rebuilt and customized with $80K alone in the interior with custom fabricated solid cherry wood cabinets and trim! $25K in paint and body, $14K in the engine, $4500 in the trans and on and on. Only 2000 km on rebuilt engine and odometer reads 035137 miles. Enjoy this historic custom house on wheels. This is SMOOTH riding head turner! Not everyone can own one of these. One of one!

Body: All body side openings were smoothed to relocate, centralize and isolate all hook ups in ONE compartment (great idea – expensive fix)! This really cleaned up the body! Kept the factory generator compartment location. Tucked front bumper. After market wheel opening flares. Custom professional body work and paint by Red Deer Collison. Line-X colour matched roof top coating – no leaks. Have paint codes. Custom window tinting. New windshield gaskets – no leaks. Rear slider windows for good ventilation. Was looking for a chrome body side molding to finish off the vintage look.

Frame/Chassis/Suspension: Factory Oldsmobile Tornado Front Wheel Drive front end – lowered 2 ½”. Original rear air bags for an amazing ride. Fully adjustable to fine tune your ride quality.

Engine: Original 455 ROCKET – rebuilt, bored and stroked. Utilized the original block with all new internals. 500 hp with 600 ft. lbs. torque. Aluminum heads. Holley Sniper fuel injected. New aluminum radiator with mechanical fans – never overheats.
Trans: Original rebuilt Turbo Hyramatic 3-speed automatic.
Differential: Front wheel drive. Original 3:07 gear ratio. Runs normal rpms at highway speeds.
Exhaust: Custom 3” aluminized steel mounted through the frame! Headers.
Brakes: Front disc and rear drum.
Wheels: ALCOA aluminum 16 inch.
Tires: CAPITAL LT215 85R 16s – all in good condition.

Interior: All plastic trim was replaced with custom fabricated cherry wood. Matching custom cabinets in cherry wood. Factory tilt/telescopic steering column. Rare separate shower – imported from California. Access slot for hide away TV. New appliances including new microwave. Corian countertop with single sink and LOTS of counter space! LED accent lights under cabinets, counter and floor/baseboards. Off white glazed tongue and groove pine ceiling finish.

Extras included: Complete file of invoices, specifications and instruction manuals.
