1969 Chevelle Convertible RESTOMOD!
For Sale $69,900
Build Highlights
Powertrain
• Engine: L96 6.0L (from 2016 Suburban HD, 500 mile donor) Now 4,300 miles
◦ AFM delete (big reliability + performance win) Bryan Tooley Racing kit
◦ Comp cam upgrade
◦ Holley Sniper low-profile intake
• Cooling: Aluminum radiator (good for drivability)
• Transmission: T56 6-speed (from 2006 GTO)
◦ One of the most desirable swaps for these cars
• Rear End: 12-bolt w/ 3.55 gears (perfect street balance)
This combo alone makes it far more desirable than a typical small-block/auto setup.
Chassis & Mechanical
• Full suspension refresh (2020)
• New fuel system (tank, pump, rails)
• Hydroboost brakes (major upgrade over factory vacuum)
• Structural work:
◦ Floor pans
◦ Trunk pans
◦ Front wheel wells
This suggests it’s not just pretty—it’s structurally sorted.
Exterior
• Paint done in 2005
• New:
◦ Bumpers
◦ Convertible top (2021, white, manual)
◦ Front windshield and wiper system
• Wheels: American Racing Torq Thrusts (classic restomod look)
Interior
• Custom interior
• Dakota Digital gauges (modern but clean)
• Vintage Air (huge usability upgrade)
• Upgraded sound system (period-correct style)
This hits the sweet spot between modern comfort and classic feel.
