Vehicle Description
What an amazing story this car is! Originally sold new here in our
hometown of Mooresville North Carolina by Safety Chevrolet (who has
since gone out of business) by a Mack Row Christenberry. Mack ran a
garage in the early 60's called Christenbury Garage where, based on
some of the photos that we have that date to '62, was an impressive
builder of custom vehicles.
After purchasing this bubbletop from Safety Chevrolet, he actually
branded the bubbletop with a decal down the side that actually said
SOLD by Safety Chevrolet and above the door he put driver Mack
Christenberry. Look through our photos below to see the pictures
proving this 409 dual quad was actually being raced back in the
day!
After being retired from drag racing, the vehicle was bought by
Mack's son in 1973 and became a daily driver until it was parked in
the early 80's, we have photos from '86 showing it stored in a
garage and out of the elements.
In the early 2000s the son decided it was time to fully restore the
car back to its former glory. And wow did he do an amazing frame
off restoration. Which by the way, we have every receipt spent on
the car from about '98 on. You would be hard pressed to find
another 409 dual quad '62 Chevy that is as documented as this car
is. The only reason the vehicle is being sold today is because
sadly in December of '16 the son passed away and the estate brought
us the car to sell.
Cars with this type of history don't pop up too often! Don't miss
out!
