Sold
1974 Chevrolet C30 454 V8
Specifications
Description
The big block V8 engines produced by General Motors in the 1960s and '70s are the stuff of legend among muscle car enthusiasts. This was the family of motors that gave us the famous 396 cubic inch eight-cylinder big blocks along with the 427.
In 1970 the largest Mark IV motor arrived on the scene. Displacing 454 cubic inches it was first offered in the Chevrolet Corvette, producing up to 450 horsepower in ultra-rare LS6 specification. This motor would eventually find its way into the Monte Carlo and Chevelle coupes, as well as the El Camino and the Caprice.
In 1973, with the 454 having left the high performance world and migrated over to sedans, personal luxury coupes, and 'utes, GM decided to also add it to the pickup truck order sheet at Chevrolet and GMC. This coincided with the square body style and new platform for each brand's pickups, which would run from 1973 all the way to 1991.

NOTIFICATION AS TO NATURE OF GOODS IN TERMS OF THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993
Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.
Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
