1969 Chevrolet Chevelle

INTRODUCTION: Some cars are like finding the right mate. It starts with attraction and this one is stunning! Then you learn of its positive qualities- a big block, factory air conditioning, and a 4-speed. Then you discover what shape it's in- this one had a body-off-frame restoration and is in outstanding condition. When you find one like this, you better tie the knot! EXTERIOR: Obviously, this is a beautiful car! The blue paint paired with the white accents and the absence of a vinyl top makes it especially attractive. Being a California car, the body appears very solid and nicely fitted throughout, with no visible rust or damage. The car has been repainted in a blue shade slightly darker than the Le Mans Blue, giving it a rich and unique look. The metallic finish is laid out very nicely, and the clear coat has an excellent gloss. There are only minor imperfections if you go looking closely. The white SS stripes down each side really stand out. It appears that all of the chrome and trim has been replaced, including the bumpers, grille, emblems, stainless moldings, mirrors, door handles, taillights, and more. It even has the correct antenna and proper T3 headlights. The windshield and weatherstripping have been replaced as well. It sits on a mint condition set of SS wheels with bright trim rings, wrapped in Firestone Wide Oval reproduction tires. These are actually modern radial tires made to replicate the original Polyglas look, providing authentic styling with a much improved ride quality. INTERIOR: The white interior is striking against the blue exterior and presents beautifully throughout. The seats have not only been reupholstered, but also recushioned, giving them a nice firm feel. The headrests have been replaced, along with the door panels and armrests. Fresh carpet lines the floor and is complemented by reproduction floor mats. It is complete with a full set of GM seatbelts and a center console. The dash area is very nice, featuring factory gauges and tachometer, new heater control panel and deluxe steering wheel. Below the dash, modern auxiliary oil pressure, water temperature, and volt gauges have been added for the most accurate monitoring. It has also been updated with a hands free retro style stereo that fits the factory location, with an auxiliary input discreetly mounted inside the glove box. Overhead, the white headliner is in good condition, the dome light is functional, and the visors match nicely. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Now this is a beautiful engine bay, and it offers some very desirable features! It is powered by a 396 engine rated at 325 horsepower. The engine appears largely stock in presentation, including the air cleaner, valve covers, fuel line, and exhaust manifolds, while benefiting from an upgraded Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold. The front of the engine has fresh, correct looking components including the alternator brackets, pulleys, and power steering setup. This is a factory air conditioning car that has recently received a major service and has been retrofitted to modern R134a refrigerant. Additional features include power brakes with a cadmium plated booster. The wiper motor appears new, as does the clutch fan. It has spring clamp battery cables with a Delco battery topper and reproduction hose clamps for an authentic look. The compartment is complete right down to the functioning horns, hooked up washer system, plastic grilles in the cowl, and hood insulation. The wiring is routed neatly, and all painted metal surfaces present very nicely, making this a highly detailed and attractive engine compartment. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted the same beautiful blue color, inside is solid metal with a spatter finish applied. It has a reproduction mat and decals. It's even complete with a restored spare and jack assembly. UNDERSIDE: The body was taken off the frame and mounted on a rotisserie so the underside could receive the same level of attention as the top side. It has clean California floors that were prepped and painted semi-gloss black. The frame and chassis components were powder coated for durability. It features the F41 suspension, which includes front and rear sway bars and boxed rear control arms. The steering and suspension were completely rebuilt. The brake system was completely redone, lines and e-brake cables were replaced. It has front disc brakes and rear drums. The fuel system was replaced, including the tank and fuel lines. A great sounding dual exhaust runs through Flowmaster mufflers and exits with the correct SS tips under the rear bumper. Looking up at the motor, it is clean Chevy orange. It has a fresh-looking Muncie M21 4-speed with new linkage. A rebuilt driveshaft leads back to the 12-bolt rear end with 3.73 posi gears. This underside is beautifully restored- worthy of putting mirrors on the ground at car shows! SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car we sell. CONCLUSION: Again, this Chevelle checks all the boxes. Why settle when you can have the one that truly stands out? The looks, the options, the big block power, the factory air, the 4-speed, and the body-off-frame restoration all come together in one incredible package.
