1969 LS restomod! PRICE REDUCED!!!
A lot of time and attention to detail was put into the conversion to retain all appearances of factory stock, but provide full functionality of the modern powertrain. All original gauges/instrumentation have been engineered to work with the PCM; no aftermarket units, the factory radio was left in place and a hidden aftermarket unit provides sound, the factory shifter gate has been modified for a four speed, but no obvious external evidence of the change exists.
This car (was) a numbers matching; original paint color, original interior 350 ? 2bbl car with bucket seats, console, TH350 automatic transmission, power steering, manual drum brakes, rally II wheels (14 x 6), and AM radio.
Paint is code 63 Champagne, with Black Vinyl top, interior is black, all in good condition. Body is in great original condition; original sheet metal, no rot; no replacements. Note-The chassis/body has not been through a frame-off restoration; but is in good original condition.
Dash, interior, and headliner are in excellent original condition, no dash cracks, original radio is still in place, dash has never been hacked up to install aftermarket radio.
As part of the conversion/restoration process, all Front End Sheet metal was removed, and from the firewall forward all components were sandblasted, primed and painted including inner fenders, hood, firewall, frame rails, suspension, etc.
All electrical systems, lighting, options, etc are functional. The car has been painted within that last 10 years. Good shine/driver condition; minor stone chips here and there.
This vehicle is the perfect mix of classic style and modern reliability; as I?ve taken this on two Hot Rod power tour events (2 thousand miles each) and have had not a single issue on either. Has never overheated, doesn?t require any adjustment, etc ? It just runs (fast).
