Over the last 18 years of selling high-end classic cars, I have had the pleasure of owning 7-8 of these awesome pickups, and I can safely say that this is the finest example that I have ever seen in my life!
Now sitting on our showroom floor here @ ‘Red Hills Rods & Classics’ is this gorgeous 1990 Chevrolet 454 SS Pickup, an absolutely pristine one-owner ‘Time-Capsule‘ w/ only 4,615 original miles! Sold new at ‘Cliff Smith Chevrolet‘ in Hood River, Oregon to a prominent attorney who still resides in Hood River, this 454 SS Pickup is 100% factory original throughout and is equipped just as it left the dealership in 1990! Factory options include: original 454ci engine, original TH400 automatic transmission, original 3.73 rear end, air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power door locks, Delco AM-FM stereo w/ cassette, tilt steering column, electronic cruise control, factory buckets w/ console, sliding rear window, factory chrome ‘SS’ wheels, original B.F. Goodrich Comp T/A radials, dealer installed bed-liner, & dealer installed towing package.
This spectacular 1990 Chevrolet 454 SS Pickup was stored inside w/ extreme care for the last 27 years and was last registered in 1993. Again, I have owned quite a few of these trucks, including several examples with less than 50 original miles, but they all had oxidation and surface rust on the undercarriage, etc. This truck was meticulously maintained during storage and is simply pristine from top to bottom (see undercarriage photos). The 100% factory original black exterior paint is as shiny/glossy as it gets and appears to be a mile deep! There are absolutely NO swirl marks or surface scratches to be found anywhere. The painted grille, painted bumpers, front spoiler, etc. are all absolutely MINT! All of the factory original glass in 100% perfect all the way around. As I mentioned previously, the undercarriage is simply pristine w/ all of the factory markings/tags, and it appears as if it just rolled off of the assembly line!
The 100% factory original Garnet Red cloth reclining high-back bucket-seat interior is simply FLAWLESS from front to back & from side to side! All of the original gauges, lights, blinkers, stereo, cruise control, etc. are in perfect working condition throughout, and the factory AC blows ice cold! When you climb into this truck, you will swear that it is 1990 all over again! When you pop open the hood, you will find a perfectly preserved engine bay that is 100% factory original throughout! Absolutely nothing has been modified or altered in any way shape or form! We replaced the battery with a new OEM AC Delco to keep everything 100% factory correct. She fires up instantly, and runs, drives & performs flawlessly in every way! It feels as though you are driving a brand new 1990 SS 454 Pickup truck! The CARFAX is spotless, showing that it was last registered in 1993 with 2,347 miles on the odometer, and the original Owners Manuals, key fobs, etc., are still in the glove box.
If you never had the chance to purchase one of these awesome pickup trucks back in the day when they exploded onto the scene kicking off the performance pickup wars, this is as close as you will ever get in your life! If you have been searching for the perfect 1990 Chevrolet 454 SS Pickup, you will be hard pressed to find a finer example anywhere at any price, period!
