Vehicle Description
The 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS is one of the meanest looking years
for this muscle car legend, and so you can't go wrong with a bright
blue body, big block power, and an upgraded suspension backing it
all up.
You've got to love the sleek pillarless coupe body. You would think
that these cars would need big dual stripes on the hood, the
hallmarks of most high performance Chevy vehicles of the era, but
instead, this wears the 1969-correct white side stripe that
emphasizes the gentle arc of the Chevelle's sheetmetal. We really
do like the way the white looks against the legendary Marina Blue
color. Plus, when you get closer, you'll start to notice special
attention was paid to give this Chevelle exceptional body gaps and
smooth action on the wide doors. Shiny chrome bumpers, bright
stainless window trim, and the proper SS fender badges all add to
the very authentic look. Of course, this sporty package wouldn't be
complete without Chevy's iconic Rally wheels.
The Chevelle might have been Chevy's midsize car, but it's clear
from these pictures that there's room for the whole family. But
really, it's the driver that matters the most. Black bucket seats
are what we all love to see when we open the door to a muscle
machine. Plus, the center console is excellent, and it comes
complete with the iconic horseshoe shifter. This coupe feels
exceptionally authentic inside from the moment you grab the
three-spoke sports steering wheel. But you'll also start to notice
some nice upgrades. For example, there's a SunPro tach cleanly
mounted in the center of the round gage pack, and there's also an
auxiliary readout trio under the dash. These are some nice hints
that there's something special under the hood even before you twist
the key and let this Chevelle roar.
Lift the hood to see a big block 396 (ok, really 402) cubic-inch
V8. It has been nicely dressed in a proper coat of Chevy Orange.
Chrome valve covers and a bright chrome air cleaner were standard
issue on big block SS models in 1969, and this one does a nice
modern take on that idea. In fact, the whole engine bay looks tidy
enough that it's already ready for the car show. Then again, you
might not want to stop driving this one because the Holley
four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and long tube headers
combine to make some serious power and an exceptionally
irresistible growl when you mash the accelerator. And more than
just pure power, the undercarriage photos reveal there have been
some nice investments in the suspension, too. Tubular A-arms up
front, thick sway bars front & rear, and an adjustable coilover
setup at each wheel give you a true advantage on the streets. Plus,
the stout TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and power front
disc brakes makes this a nice all-around cruiser.
This mean and sharp Chevelle is everything you want, and it's ready
today. But a muscle machine like this doesn't wait for long, so
call today!
