1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396INTRODUCTION: Body off frame,
rotisserie restoration. The legendary L78 motor with a 4-speed and
a posi will take you right back to the muscle car era!EXTERIOR:
This is a high quality fit and finish. The body was off the frame,
stripped down and flipped on a rotisserie so it could be worked
from every angle. The result is laser straight panels that fit
precisely. Repainted its original Cortez silver, the tiny metallic
is laid out evenly and the clear coat is polished like glass. The
stripes are even smooth to the touch. It looks like at the time of
restoration they replaced all of the chrome and trim including
bumpers, moldings, mirrors, handles, emblems etc. The weatherstrips
and seals were also replaced. It has T3 reproduction headlamps. It
is sitting pretty on a set of reproduction Wide Oval tires that
actually have radial technology. They are wrapped around new 15
inch chrome SS wheels.INTERIOR: Pretty much looks new from floor to
ceiling. It does have fresh looking carpet that fits real nice and
some embroidered mats, a nice set of original seat belts and the
best part of all is the 4-speed sticking out of the hump! The seats
have been reupholstered, door panels and armrests were replaced.
The headliner, visors and mirror look like new. The entire dash
area is clean: the instrument panel, dash pad and steering wheel
were replaced. gauges It also has a retro stereo, it's
hands free with auxiliary plugs.ENGINE COMPARTMENT: That is a

compression pistons, hotter cam, rectangular port heads matched to
a GM aluminum intake. It is upgraded with a electronic ignition

the horns work, it has hood insulation and the plastic grilled on
the cowl. It has reproduction GM hoses, hose clamps and spring

nicely.UNDERSIDE: The body was lifted off of the frame and flipped
on a rotisserie so the floors could easily be prepped and painted
like new. Zero rust, all clean braces and inner rockers etc.The
