Gateway classic cars of Tampa is excited to have this 1969
Chevrolet Chevelle listed for sale. This green machine can be heard
from blocks away with its set up under the hood. Some lucky Joe out
there is going to really enjoy this Chevelle screaming down the
streets of his or her hometown. The original 396 that came in this
Chevelle has been pulled and replaced with a 454 Big block with
solid lifter cams. The whole suspension raises when you put your
foot down just a tad on the accelerator of this beast. The 4.10
rear end and 700R Auto transmission is helpful with the performance
combination in this car. The car has a recent paint job and looks
great with its green and black stripe scheme. The 1969 Chevelle was
billed as "America's most popular mid-size car." They showed only
minor changes for 1969, led by revised front-end styling. A single
chrome bar connected quad headlights (which became a familiar
Chevrolet trademark with its concurrent light duty pickup trucks)
with a revised front grille, now cast in ABS plastic, and a slotted
bumper held the parking lights. Taillight lenses were larger and
more vertical, flowing into the quarter panels. Front vent windows
(hardtop and convertibles only) began to fade away now that Astro
Ventilation (first introduced on the 1966 Buick Riviera which was
used a year earlier on the Camaro and Caprice) was sending outside
air into several Chevelle models. The Chevelle lineup slimmed down
to Nomad, 300 Deluxe/Greenbrier, Malibu/Concours, and Concours
Estate series, and the base 300 series was history. No longer a
series of its own, the SS 396 turned into a $347.60 option package
for any two-door model. That meant not just a convertible, sport
coupe, or pickup, but even the pillared coupe and sport coupe in
the lower-rent 300 Deluxe series (except the base 300 Deluxe El
Camino pickup). Fewer SS396-optioned 300 Deluxe coupes and sport
coupes were built than their Malibu counterparts and they are solid
gold for collectors. To see 100+ HD pictures and videos of this
