Description
The BEST of both worlds! A recognizable classic with modern amenities and driveline. This 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle 2dr hardtop is a daily driver equipped with todays technology. What started as a factory car is now a 6.2L V8 LT1 Gen 5 direct-fuel-injected beast with an 8 speed auto transmission. Drive it anywhere!
I have owned this vehicle for about 3 years and have done extensive work to it and drive it daily. Not by choice, health forces this sale.
Here is a brief overview of work performed & installed components:- 2016 Chevrolet LT1 6.2L (376ci) Gen 5 direct injected motor. Total miles on motor and trans is less than 5000 miles.- 8L90 automatic transmission- Ford 9" rear end (new inside & out). Trac-Loc Posi, Motive Performance Gears, 31 spline. Built specifically for my application and capable of handling more power if so desired at a later stage.- Disc brakes front and rear with hydraboost system for powerful and consistent braking, Signature Series.- MAGS US 20" 5 spoke retro look staggered wheels & new tires- QA1 stage 2 suspension kit (coilovers front and rear with adjustable damping, tubular control arms, sway bars front and rear, upper and lower trailering arms, bushings, etc....)- RideTech steering linkage components.- TanksInc fuel tank (tank, pump, stainless steel lines)- Holley accessory drive kit (brackets, alternator, pulley, power steering pump and reservoir, belt, etc..)- Holley oil pan- Aluminum radiator with 2x electric fans and stainless overflow reservoir- MSD spark plug wires- K&N breather filters- Dakota HDX digital gauges- New instrument bezel- Vintage Air airconditioning- PUI front seats- 3 point front seatbelts- Newer front/rear bumpers- New carpet with sound deadener on firewall and floor pan.- new headliner, sailpanels, door panels, dash pad, rear shelf, door seals- new AGM battery installed in trunk- custom ECM and TCM tune (mild)- 1 7/8 inch headers and full custom exhaust (deep rumble)- FLEX fuel software and hardware- Custom CAI with K&N cone filter- Rewired front to back with American Autowire kit..... and more.
The above list of replaced components is extensive and top of the line for respective performance area. The car performs equally well. Well over $65k spent in parts & labor (work done by well known local builder). Selling for considerably less.
Estimated crank HP is 550+ (mild tune, headers, E85, CAI, exhaust). No internal mods to engine. You can cruise on the highway at 70 mph and only be at 2000 rpms. Hit the throttle at any speed and you feel the high-displacement, modern, powerful direct injected motor move the Chevelle forward in seemingly endless fashion! It is an absolute rush to drive. No performance disappointments here. You can run the car on regular gas or E85.
The paint is fair at best. It is faded in some areas. Paint up close is not as good as it looks in the photos. Aside from dings, dents and scratches, there are no obvious areas of concern on the body.For me this was a daily driver and still is. I receive a thumbs up virtually anywhere I go, every day. The curb appeal is stunning!
Cash only.No trades or other exchanges.Export is OK, shipping is OK, inspections are welcome and encouraged. OK to send third party inspection service as well. No joy rides and no release of vehicle or clear title (title in hand) until all funds have been received.
If you are in the market for a restomod classic that you can drive anywhere - THIS IS IT!
NOTE: it is still a 50 yr old car!
