Bought me a Chevelle today. Well, its not really for me, but for my wife who has wanted a 69 since we sold our last one a few years back.
I had been looking for a good roller since we do alot of LSx swaps but this one just seemed to really catch my attention and the seller seems like a really great, honest guy. Here is all I know as of right now.
The guy has had the car for 20+ years. he said he's the second owner. He has all sorts of muscle cars and really seems to know his stuff.
The car is a 1969 Chevelle SS. was a 396, 4 speed car. Has A/C, PS, PB, bucket seats, tach dash, console. The original 396 and 4 speed had been removed by the orignal owner and are not included. The car now has a ("real healthy") 396 built by some reputable race shop and was dynoed at right at 500 fwhp. has a stalled th400 trans. full polished aftermarket serpentine belt/accessory drive setup. Original 12 bolt with I believe he said 3.73 gears.
These are the best pictures I have of the car. The only rust in the car is in the roof (I"ve already got a replacement roof panel on the way)
Floor pans, wheel houses, etc are all solid. car is running/driving condition with a clean title. I dont know the mileage or have I seen the cowl tag. Until I pick it up in the next day or to, I wont know anymore about the car. Just wanted to see what you guys thought about the car. I ended up paying $10k for it. how did I do?
LOL, I like the license plate
