This Chevrolet 454 SS got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1990 Chevrolet 454 SS is a single-cab short-bed pickup that was initially sold by Bill Gordon Chevrolet of Rochester, New York, and was purchased by the seller in August 1991. Power comes from a 454ci V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission and a locking rear differential, and the truck is finished in black over Garnet Red cloth upholstery. Additional equipment includes the Performance Handling and Sport Appearance packages as well as 15″ wheels, a sliding rear window, air conditioning, power windows and locks, and a Delco cassette stereo. Service since 2020 included replacing the battery, alternator, water pump, valve cover gaskets, and exhaust system as well as refurbishing the fuel system. This 454 SS is now offered with manufacturer’s literature, service records, a build sheet, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.

The truck is finished in Onyx Black with 454 SS decals, and exterior details include a black-finished front grille, a front spoiler, integrated fog lights, a sliding rear window, a rear step bumper, and a rubber bed mat. The seller notes the windshield has been replaced and both bumpers have been refinished. Close-up photos of the paint, trim, and blemishes can be seen in the gallery below.

This is a re-list after the truck was previously sold on BaT in April 2022 and the winning bidder failed to follow through with their commitment to purchase. This was not due to any fault with the vehicle. The winner has been banned from future participation on BaT and their buyer’s fee was not refunded.

Chrome-finished 15″ wheels are mounted with 275/60 BFGoodrich Comp T/A tires and a full-size spare is mounted behind the rear axle. The 454 SS package added a larger front sway bar and quick-ratio steering when compared to the standard C/K pickups. Braking is handled by power-assisted discs up front and drums out back.

The cab features high-back bucket seats trimmed in Garnet Red cloth along with a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpeting. Amenities include air conditioning, cruise control, power windows and locks, a center console, and a Delco cassette stereo with a digital graphic equalizer. The seller notes the air conditioning has been converted to utilize R134a refrigerant, and the compressor switch and relay were replaced, the stereo receiver has been refurbished, and the sliding window latch, door lock switch, and window regulator have been replaced. The headliner is sagging, and detailed photos of the condition of the interior are provided in the gallery.

The 454ci V8 features electronic fuel injection and was factory rated at 230 horsepower and 385 lb-ft of torque. The 454 SS package added a heavy-duty radiator and auxiliary coolers for the engine oil and transmission fluid. Service in 2020 included replacing the manifold pressure sensor, battery, IAC valve, an O2 sensor, valve cover gaskets, and EGR valve. The water pump and battery were replaced and an oil change was performed in preparation for the sale. The seller notes oil is seeping from the rear main seal.
