Numbers Matching Big Block 396 Red Over Red Rare Automatic Column

1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Coupe

Like the Tri-Five Chevys that came before it, the Chevelle is one of those cars GM aced right out of the gate and continued to perfect. Eventually, the marque became one of the strongest brands in automotive history; and at one point, with a full list of body styles, options, trim grades, color combinations, and engines which ranged from mild to outrageous, literally embodied the 'custom built' nature that defines the muscle car era.

Offered for consignment is a numbers matching, fully documented, real SS 396ci big block car. Condition could best be described as show ready, but do not be fooled, it is definitely a shower, but also a goer.

Exterior
Garnet Red respray graces the exterior of this very correct, and mostly straight car. A black pinstripe cuts across the belt line and is highlighted by correct brite work, and awesomely clean bumpers, and grille. A very nice quality and condition black vinyl top stretches across the passenger compartment and does a beautiful job of topping off this muscle car.

Interior
Can you say red, red, red? A split vinyl bench in front and a solid bench in the rear, show in near perfect condition. A sea of red carpet laps at the base of the benches, and is in excellent condition. A wonderful red headliner is atop on the inside and shows no runs drips or errors. Door panels match the seats and have added aluminum trim for accenting. A black dash fronted by an original steering wheel in red, which has a rare automatic column shift, houses the standard gauges. 3 additional gauges are mounted underneath the dash, so the driver can monitor important information as they dust off the competition. Vintage Air blows nice and cool through this original dash. Flanking the rear bench are 2 custom made pillows to throw around.

Drivetrain
An SS 396ci big block V8 nestles itself in a very clean engine bay. Chromed valve covers, and air cleaner gleams with pride against the red engine block, and intake manifold. Not a spec of any corrosion is seen on the aluminum parts within this bay. The 700 R4 Automatic transmission is noted, which replaces the original TH400. (which the consigner still retains and will come with the purchase of this car). Underside presents nicely and is as clean as the topside.

A real original survivor, with extras such as original sale contract, original title, pre delivery checklist, build punchcard, sales brochure, and metal warranty card from dealer and with a mere consigner stated 29,800 miles, show quality, street fight ready, maintains its head turning capabilities. As this car screams down the road, the interior screams red, and will make you scream with excitement.
