This SS454 presents beautifully from every angle. The body panels are laser-straight with crisp body lines, and the paint shines with a high-gloss finish. The chrome, trim, and SS badging are crisp and clean.
Inside, the cabin retains its authentic 1970 muscle car vibe-plush bucket seats, factory console, and clean dash layout, all while benefiting from modern comfort features like power windows and ice-cold factory A/C.
Mechanically, the LS5 454 fires right up, holding strong oil pressure and delivering immense low-end torque. The M22 "Rock Crusher" shifts tight and precise with that unmistakable gear-whine signature. With the F41 suspension and power disc brakes, it drives down the road tight, solid, and completely confident.
