Same owner since 1996! Professionally built performance 468 engine!
Originally purchased at Parkland Chevrolet in North Carolina, this
classic has an impressive paper trail including the original build
sheet, invoice, and window sticker to document it's history. We
have pictures of the build too. Born a Malibu sport coupe the car
has been completely rebuilt and adorned with SS trim. If you're
looking for a stylish and stout performer that won't break the
bank, give this '69 Chevelle a long hard look!
EXTERIOR: Sharp with the perfect stance! The Fathom Green paint was
nicely laid out and polished to a smooth and reflective finish. The
vinyl roof is in excellent condition. All the panels are nicely
aligned, and the doors close easily with minimal effort. The chrome
bumpers and polished trim pieces all have a beautiful shine to
them. The glass appears to be mostly original and in good shape. It
now has a blacked out SS front grille, blacked out SS rear panel
and SS 396 badges. It's sitting on a pretty set of 17" American
Racing chrome Torque Thrust II wheels wrapped in Nitto radial tires
that were recently replaced.
INTERIOR: Beautifully refurbished interior! The headliner does not
sag and the dash pad is not cracked. The door panels were replaced
as well as the carpeting. The automatic shifter is a real cool
manual look alike. Reupholstered bench seat so you can get nice and
close to your sweetheart. Seatbelts front and back so you can take
the entire family for a cruise. Digital stereo fits in the factory
hole and has upgraded 6x9 speakers in the custom bowtie rear shelf.
A triple gauge cluster helps to precisely monitor the engine vitals
and a controller for the Holley fuel injection are both neatly
mounted under the dash. The gauges and bezel are in fantastic shape
plus an AutoMeter monster tach with built in shift light is a very
practical upgrade. Equipped with a tilt column and billet bowtie
steering wheel. The dome light and glove box light are both working
as well.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Highly upgraded and nicely dressed! The 468 V8
was professionally built by Staley Performance Engines. It's a 454
is bored .030 over and has many upgrades including Richard Petty
Heads and Keith Black pistons. A Holley Sniper electronic fuel
injection system provides thought free reliability. It's flanked by
a set of long tube Hooker headers. Upgraded MSD digital ignition
system and a matching distributor. The bay is handsomely dressed in
an open element K&N air filter, polished hi-rise Weiand intake
manifold, chrome Moroso valve covers, billet spark plug holders,
chrome alternator, chrome power steering pump, and chrome master
cylinder/booster. The battery is properly secured and the squirters
are hooked up. The hood latch mechanism and hinges were replaced
with nice chrome pieces and the underside of the hood is complete
with insulation. The original cowl tag is in place.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the lid and inside the jamb have neatly
been repainted Fathom Green. Reproduction stickers were added and
the weatherstrip was replaced. Inside is the motor for the upgraded
power antenna and multi disc cd changer. All the metal is solid and
rust free with a durable spatter finish paint.
UNDERSIDE: Nicely restored with upgrades! The suspension was
rebuilt with tubular control arms plus the shocks and springs were
replaced. The front sway bar has fresh bushings. It also has big
block rear springs. The front brakes are discs and the rear are
drums. Long tube headers lead to a full dual exhaust system
complete with O2 sensor, Flowmaster mufflers and polished chrome
tips. The gas tank was replaced and it has fresh lines too. Looking
up at the performance built 468 behemoth it has vibrant Chevy
orange paint. The Turbo 400 automatic transmission has a chrome
scatter shield and a ribbed aluminum pan. A 12 bolt rear end with
3.73 gearing and a chrome cover puts the power to the pavement. The
floors are nice and solid with a good coat of satin black
paint.
SERVICE: Our shop manager thoroughly inspected this car and we only
needed to repair the headlight wiring. It was extremely dialed
in!
Stop, drop and roll down the street in this iconic muscle car! It
was built to be driven and enjoyed; I completely understand why the
last owner kept it for 28 years. Come test drive it for yourself
and you'll understand too!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide

vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
