1969 CHEVROLET CHEVELLE SS MODIFIED STREET MACHINE-SHOW CAR-509 C.I.-RESTORED

Description

PLEASE READ THE AD CAREFULLY, AND BE SURE TO CLICK ON ALL THE LINKS, WHICH CONTAIN OVER 150 ADDITIONAL PHOTOS OF THE DETAILS ON THIS CHEVELLE. THIS IS ONE OF THE NICEST BUILDS YOU WILL FIND FOR SALE IN THIS PRICE RANGE ANYWHERE. DON’T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY. TURN KEY, NEEDS NOTHING. READY FOR CRUISING, CAR SHOWS, OR THE DRAG STRIP IF YOU CHOOSE. ON A TEST RUN DOWN THE DRAG STRIP A FEW YEARS AGO, THE CAR RAN A 10.21 ET AT 133 MPH. DEPENDABLE ENOUGH TO DRIVE ANYWHERE. 700+ HORSEPOWER, ENOUGH TO SATISFY ANYONE WHO LOVES AGGRESSIVE STREET MACHINES. CAPABLE OF COMPETING AND WINNING AT CAR SHOWS. MANY OF THE MAIN ELEMENTS OF THIS CAR APPEAR TO BE RESTORED FACTORY ORIGINAL.

This is about as good as it gets for the high performance Chevelle enthusiast, GM gear heads, or anyone that enjoys competitive street cars. The basis for this build was an immaculate 1969 Chevelle Super Sport, with original body panels, glass, chrome, brightwork, and dash with tach and gauges. The original items still present indicate it was an original SS.

Yes, we know 1969 was the first year SS became an option instead of a series, and the only positive proof is factory paperwork. And we know that almost any SS option could be ordered on a non SS car. However, the indicators are present on this Chevelle, including original 12 bolt housing, boxed rear control arms, OEM factory disc brake system, placement of emblems on original body panels, bright bezel trim, grille, original dash bezel and gauges, etc. Also, the blacked out shift pattern in the center bezel of the gauge cluster with bench seat and trans tunnel indicate this may have been a heavy duty three speed or four speed manual transmission car. This is only speculation based on observations. There is no factory paperwork to support this, although it is information to be considered in the history of the vehicle.

With the many original components in the vehicle, there is no reason to doubt it is a true Super Sport. However, the value of this Chevelle is based on the condition of the vehicle and the quality of the build, not if it is a SS or not. Again, there is no factory paperwork with this car.

The build and restoration was completed in 2006. Since that time, less than 10 miles a year on average have been logged. Enough mileage to keep everything lubricated, functioning properly, and exercised. Original mileage unknown. The remaining time has been spent in careful storage or trailering to various events. The best aftermarket parts available were used in this restoration. Although the car is highly modified, the paint, vinyl top, and interior are factory original codes as per trim tag.

This Chevelle is not for everyone. However, for the performance enthusiast, this is an excellent buy that can be enjoyed for many years to come.
