Vehicle Description
We could just say it's terrific to find a survivor-grade 1969
Chevrolet Bel Air with tis factory paint and interior. But in
reality, this is something far more awesome. It's from the era of
big power bow ties, and this one goes for the sleeper street
machine style with big block power and a Rock Crusher
four-on-the-floor.
The Bel Air is a storied name, and in 1969 its role was moved to
the base-level Chevys. That's actually a good thing here. It means
a stronger pillared two-door body, and it's free from extra weighty
ornamentation. So it makes for the right base to have a true street
machine. In fact, Chevy would let some of these big block sleepers
out to dealers, and that's how we got some awesome Baldwin-Motion
cars. While this has a factory appearance, the '69 cars came right
from the Chevy with intimidation in the design. It has a long and
wide style led off by an aggressive look with the lights recessed
into the grille. This one love to show off its stock style, right
down to the color-matched wheels with dog dish hub caps. In fact,
this one is such a true representation of its era that the Glacier
Blue paint is mostly factory original. Between the factory finish,
exceptional panels, and complete trim, this one is a true stunner
for its preserved authenticity. So you're going to find plenty of
people impressed with the condition of the car even before they
know what's under the hood (more on that in a moment.)
The interior continues the exceptional level of preservation. All
the fundamentals are believed to be original, right down to the
trim on the textured seatbacks. As a full-sized Chevy, there's
plenty of room for family and friends to spread out over the two
wide rows of bench seats. But a car like this was built to be less
of a commuter and more of a street brawler. Even the additions are
era correct performance pieces, like the curved Muncie shifter,
Stewart Warner auxiliary gauges, and a Sun Super Tach mounted on
the steering column.
Under the hood is awesome big block power. This is a 396 cubic-inch
V8 topped with an aluminum intake and Holley four-barrel
carburetor. It all looks quite nice in a well-maintained engine bay
that includes newer hoses and an HEI ignition. And as you look
underneath, you see more investments, including fresher suspension
components, a thick front sway bar, and a newer stainless dual
exhaust. This big block fires up readily, and it loves to roar as
you row through the stout Muncie M22 close-ratio four-speed manual
transmission. While it's absolutely powerful, this one also likes
to be easy to control. That's why you have power steering, power
brakes, and upgraded front discs.
The interior and exterior give you a cool classic style, and the
engine bay is an awesome big block brawler. You know how special
this one is, and so you know you can't let it slip away. Call
