1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396

Vehicle Description 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle $98,998 INTRODUCTION: Get in, drop the top, and turn some heads! This Chevelle is wearing its desirable factory colors, plus it's been lovingly restored and is begging to be driven. The only thing you have to do is enjoy it! EXTERIOR: According to the tag, it was born LeMans Blue. It was neatly repainted and has a slick, shiny finish. Looking down the sides of the body, you'll see smooth contours and crisp lines. The SS side stripes add the perfect pop and complement the white vinyl power convertible top. I really like the SS hood with its dual bulges. The car is also equipped with dual side-view mirrors. The bumpers were rechromed, and the remaining trim has a lustrous shine. The blacked-out front grille with SS 396 badging looks to be in great shape. In back, it has the blacked-out tail panel, and the trim was replaced. It also has the correct cowbell-style polished exhaust tips. The ensemble is rolling on a sweet set of 14-inch SS wheels wrapped in excellent BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. INTERIOR: Striking! The Parchment-colored interior has a pearl iridescent sheen that is very attractive. The front bucket seats have been reupholstered, and the rear bench is done in matching vinyl. It has seatbelts front and back. The door panels and armrests were also replaced. A new center console features custom lighted cup holders with a chrome 4-speed shifter sitting front and center. A practical triple gauge cluster was added to monitor the vitals. It was also upgraded with a Retrosound Bluetooth stereo, four Kicker speakers, and an amp. The gauges and instrument panel appear to be original. It has a tilt column and an aftermarket woodgrain steering wheel. The original dash pad is still in place and has a couple of small splits. The carpeting was replaced, and the interior lights are working. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The 396 big block runs strong and sounds tough! It appears stock, but that's an aluminum intake painted orange, along with a hotter cam and HEI ignition. It is nicely dressed with a new chrome air cleaner and valve covers. It has a freshly rebuilt 4-barrel carburetor and is also equipped with power steering and power brakes. The squirters and horns are both hooked up. Upgraded with a large aluminum radiator, it also has a heavy-duty 7-blade clutch fan keeping everything cool. All the hoses and belts were replaced. The original cowl tag is in place. The fender wells and firewall were neatly painted black. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and jamb are nicely painted body color. It is furnished with reproduction jack stickers, and the weatherstrip was replaced. There is also a full-size spare tire, vinyl cover, and trunk mat. Under the mat is all solid metal finished with spatter paint. The convertible top motor was replaced. UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame during restoration. It has the F41 suspension, which includes sway bars and boxed rear control arms. The suspension and steering were rebuilt, in front is upgraded with coilover adjustable gas shocks. The brakes were rebuilt and have discs in front. The lines, hoses, and e-brake cables were replaced. It has neatly installed dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers and the correct chrome tips. The fuel system was replaced, including the tank. Looking up at the motor, it is fresh Chevy Orange with a fresh fuel pump and starter. The M21 Muncie 4-speed manual transmission was just rebuilt and the shift linkage looks fresh. In back is a 12-bolt rear end with new 3.55 posi gears. The floors look like really clean metal painted gloss black. SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Therefore, we built a $2 million, 10,000-square-foot service center and hired a team of technicians to work in it. This is so we can sell you the best cars within reason.
