For Sale: 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle in Lithia Springs, Georgia

It is amazing how, when it comes to classic cars, two letters and three numbers can instantly open up a floodgate of memories and a rush of adrenaline. Fully repainted in a beautiful Garnet Metallic red exterior, complete with complementing full-length black racing stripes, this 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Tribute looks every bit the boulevard bruiser as it would have half a century ago.

Inside, we find a nicely redone black vinyl interior. A center console separates dual bucket seats, while a two-spoke wheel with thumb horn controls proudly displays the iconic SS logo. A three-pod gauge cluster features a big 120 mph speedometer on one side of the central 'Chevelle' gauge. At the same time, on the other, a 7,000 rpm tachometer is surrounded by four sliding auxiliary gauges in a clever multi-readout setup. A Vintage Air A/C system has been added to the easy-to-use sliding HVAC controls, along with an upgraded vintage-style AM/FM head unit highlighted by a digital display and Bluetooth connectivity.

Under that expansive hood, we find a clean engine bay with a big 396 cubic-inch V-8 engine. Kept cool by an aluminum radiator and fed by a single four-barrel carburetor bolted to a Weiland intake manifold, this big block does away with spent gases through a set of Patriot long tube headers and dual exhaust capped off with a pair of sweet-sounding FlowMaster mufflers to give this Chevelle its muscle car rumble. That power is routed through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission before heading out to the 12-bolt rear end that transfers those ponies to the pavement via a set of beautiful, polished 15-inch Boyd Coddington wheels shod in 255/60R-15 Cooper Cobra rubber. Up front, a narrower set of power-assisted 215/65R-15 tires handles steering duties.
