Vehicle Description
This 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 gets everything right - the
stance, big block motor, four-on-the-floor, color combo, and
restored with custom touches that make it a standout while
respecting the history. If you are a fan of horsepower and have
been looking for just the right A-body to satisfy your needs, look
no further.
You know the best Super Sports come in black. It makes these
mid-sized cars look brutal, sinister, and downright predatory when
they're done as good as this one. Just one look and you recognize
the high level of restoration, because the professional application
of the midnight hue has so much luster that you'd swear they make
black mirrors. The white stripe specific to the 396 cars cuts like
a laser through all that black paint, and gives the Chevelle a
simple, clean look and emphasizes the awesome stance. Mirror-like
chrome on the bumpers, fresh emblems, a blacked-out SS grille, and
a lot of careful assembly lets you know there was a serious
investment in restoring this coupe into the best bad boy on the
planet. And when you fill the wheel wells with 17-inch American
Racing Torq Thrust wheels, you properly cap off a total
intimidation package.
One look inside, and you know this Chevelle has everything you
want. It starts with the high-back bucket seats. There was some
investment here because the black vinyl shows very little seat
time. In between is the optional center console a new iconic Hurst
shifter. The carpets, door panels, and dash all have a very fresh
feeling to them. You'll slip behind the factory-correct two-spoke
steering wheel, and see the full gauge instrument panel that
includes a large speedo and very important tach. There are plenty
of people who will want to go for a ride in your cool Chevelle, so
to keep them comfortable there's the heat/defrost and AM/FM stereo
with aux input.
Under the hood is what you're going to love most about this
restored Chevelle. The 396 cubic-inch V8 is ready for show duty
wearing its correct bright valve covers, intake, and air cleaner.
Plus, the big orange block is so bold it practically radiates power
from the black engine bay. There are a ton of receipts for plenty
of new components within the last year (call for all the details.)
All the correct hoses are in place, and everything looks ready for
you to simply pop the hood and wait for the crowd to gather. But to
understand how much of a labor of love this restoration was, take a
look at the undercarriage photos. This is a place where few people
will see, but where you can really judge the quality of a classic.
But you should do more than just admire this coupe; you need to
drive it. A Holley four-barrel carburetor tops this big block, just
like a good 396 should. That helps with the dominant exhaust note
and the street eating power... and you're in control of all of this
thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. No matter if you're
out tearing up the asphalt or just on a Sunday cruise, the power
steering and front disc brakes are always welcomed driving
features.
This Chevelle is one of those pristine classics that also features
great driving characteristics. So this is the one you'll take the
long road home after you grab the trophies at the car show. Well,
that's only true if you're quick enough to grab this deal. Call
