Deluxe 300
Looking forward to following this restoration. I drove a twin to this car in high school, Deluxe 300 Sport Coupe, Monaco Orange SS, no side stripe. Paid $150.00 for it in 1974.

What a stunning car. Can't remember seeing an orange 13437 car, a couple post cars but not a hardtop. Very worthy! Now's the time to get a set of door panels and seat covers ordered from SMS......they'll maybe be ready in 2.5 years.

So now that the subject of interior gets brought up I do have a question as I have yet to speak with SMS. From what I can tell you can buy the headliner, seat covers and door panels. Do they also source a new rubber floor, and if not, what alternatives do i have? I believe i have seen that PUI makes a 68 rubber floor and the grain pattern is different.

Dan Vasic may be your best source of info on this subject. AFAIK, no one makes an exact reproduction of the 69 vinyl coated rubber floor covering. Bummer.

Mitch,
Not the same in 1970, according to Dale McIntosh's site...standard rear axle ratio in 70 was 3.31, regardless of transmission. HD 3 speed manual was not available on 1970 SS396 or SS454. http://chevellestuff.net/1970/power_teams.htm

I bought the ACC molded rubber floor. It had it's issues especially over the tranny tunnel, but it came out very nice. No other choice out there unless you can find a NOS floor.

Brake Fitting Colors
Time to get into some details. Ive seen many restored cars with colored brake line fittings. Ive never been able to actually see the colors on the original parts as I took them apart till now. All lines appear very rust free and original. Brake booster is dated late 68 which matches the car and the master cylinder is cast 341 i assume of 68 to match the car
