I have tracked down this 69 SS 396 on ebay?

I don't know the first thing about getting into this. I have been yearing for a muscle car for 15 years now.

I love this car.....

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Without crawling around the car, the Malibu eyebrow mouldings stand out as a flag that it's not an SS.

You have to look at the car and the seller. 5% negative feedback would make me run away.

Wrong master cylinder. 3 bolt radiator top plate would indicate not SS as well. Looks like a pieced together car. Probably a lot of fun, but I would doubt its pedigree.

Thanks so much for pointing all of this out! I really am not too concerned about it being an original SS or not. I just think 24k for a 396 chevelle that looks this nice is a good deal. Am I wrong?

No not a bad price, but with all the BS what else is he hiding???

You don't say where you are; But I am about 15 minutes from this guy. I could go take a look if you want. Don't really know him but I have sold him a few parts through a friend. He is just a car dealer. Doesn't seem to sweat the details, Seen several of his cars that would look much more correct with just a couple hundred spent on them, But think he just likes to turn them ASAP

If he doesnt seem to sweat the details then I wonder what the odds are he himself bought the car thinking it was an SS too? Now he has it in his head its the real thing. Im doubting that though.

Hmm... I wonder if hms racing or joe gibbs racing would be interested in this claim:
