Chevrolet Chevelle 396 V8 1969
General description :
#S MATCH 396, FRAME OFF RESTO, FACLTORY COLORS, PS, PB W/DISC, AC, PROTECTOPLATE
It's not just that this 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 makes a great first impression, but with a thoughtful restoration, A/C interior, and its original big block V8 still under the hood, it's also a hardtop that the admiration grows more the longer you spend with it.
You can instantly tell there was a lot of time, care, and money invested in getting this car into this superior condition. The re-application of the code-71 LeMans Blue means this car looks correct but has an extra sparkle in the sunlight that can only come from a professional respray with modern paint formulas. It does a great job of showcasing the sheetmetal, which was particularly nice in '69. The pointed front end with a hint of overhang; the sleek fastback profile; and a hint of flying buttress in the rear that extends all the way to the taillights – it's all part of one of Chevy's most artful designs. The chrome on the Super Sport is a bit more understated then on the standard Malibu, and so every piece of brightwork needs to really shine to stand out. That's why it's good to see everything from the big bumpers to the delicate trim around the wheel arches receiving good investments. But as much as this coupe goes for elegance, no one will mistake it for a pushover thanks to the correct Super Sport badging, bright dual exhaust tips, and Mag-style SS wheels.
Inside you see more attention to detail. The world of sporty and comfort mix nicely as the aggressive black bucket seats retain a comfortable button-top presentation. And there's enough room in this Chevelle to enjoy with family and friends. They all even stay comfortable with the factory AM/FM radio and cold-blowing air conditioning. Of course, no matter how many people are coming along, the driver is really the king. You get a bright center console with the horseshoe shifter boldly in the middle. And the dual-spoke SS steering wheel gives you an excellent view of all the gauges. As you look across the interior, you get a sense of a very correct classic. This one even still has the Astro Ventilation tag next to the glovebox, which really tells you the level of detail in the restoration.
Under the hood is a 396 cubic-inch big block V8 filling up the engine bay. It's no surprise this one has all the details right considering the level of quality on the interior and exterior. But what you'll really love is that this is the original numbers-matching motor on this real-deal SS 396. It's dressed with fresh paint on the block, crisp hoses, and even the right decals. It was also built to run with a Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor and a sweet-sounding dual exhaust. But more than just hear those pipes, take a look at the full path in the undercarriage pictures. That way you can also take note of this Chevelle's exceptional condition in places most people don't even see. But don't just use this for a museum piece. With features like power steering, a strong TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, and front disc brakes, this SS 396 is a lot of fun on the road.
This is a fantastically presented coupe, and it also comes with the right paperwork, including the factory buildsheet, original warranty card, owner's manual, and build receipts. So if you love an outstanding true muscle machine, don't let this one slip away, call today!

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
