Description

If you like original stock factory cars this is not for you. I just installed a new motor. It's a GM Goodwrench 350 with new Edelbrock carb. Turbo 350 automatic transmission. Now WHAT YOU ARE BUYING IS A 1969 (not 68) Chevelle SS 396. IT IS A 1969 But I put 68 taillights in it. I have the 69 taillights they also go with it....When I bought it it was a rolling chassis. I re-did everything to what you see. The only reason I believe it may have been a true SS is it had the holes under the trunk for the SS emblem the original SS396 dash emblem (currently still in it) and factory old front disc brakes. I rebuilt the entire brake system with a stainless steel system including new calipers. I welded on two full quarters one new doorskin (other was good) and entire left and right floorpans. Front fenders are new Goodmark. Bumpers are new. Entire car is coated with POR 15 underneath inside fenders doors quarters trunk and floor. Paint job is amateurish and has light spots. Front and rear suspension were completely rebuilt with polyurethane kits and front and rear sway bars. Rewired with modern fusebox. Frame is all solid. New stainless steel true dual exhaust. Currently PA inspected. When you flick a lighted toggle switch on the shifter the dual scoops illuminate an evil purple glow out the front in the dark. Cool touch I feel. Mileage is inknown. No speedometer was in it when I bought it. Here's what I bought and installed included for the price: 1. New wheel well chrome 2. New fenders 3. New quarters welded on 4. New door skin 5. New trunk lid 6. New left and right floor pans welded in 7. Entire car coated with POR15 wherever not painted 8. Entire brake system with stainless lines & hoses 9. Entire suspension rebuilt 10.

AM/FM/tape booster sub and 2 6X9's $75.00 BEFORE YOU ASK FOR THE VIN READ THIS QUOTE FROM A CHEVELLE WEBSITE... 1969 From 1969 on the SS was no longer a separate model. Instead it was now an "SS" option package added to a 300 Deluxe model Malibu model or El Camino Custom model. 1969 was the only model year that the SS package could be ordered on the base model Chevelle 300 Deluxe (as a 2-door coupe or a 2-door post sedan). The only SS option in '69 was the "Z25" SS-396 package. The '69 and up cars are harder to authenticate because the VIN can not be used to confirm if the car is an SS. There were two colors that were exclusive to the '69 SS. "Monaco Orange" (code 72) and "Daytona Yellow" (code 76). If either of these paint codes appear on the cowl tag (and the cowl tag is genuine) then that would prove the car to be a genuine SS. If someone had a nice '69 Malibu and a rusted out '69 SS it would be easy for them to simply move the SS equipment over to the Malibu. As long as they did not alter or move the VIN plates or cowl tags this would be perfectly legal and since the VIN tag doesn't tell you much there would be almost no way for you to know. From '69 on single-piston disk brakes were STANDARD equipment with the SS package. These brakes are easier to find parts for than the earlier four-piston disk brakes. Chevrolet literature indicates that the only way to get a 396 was with the SS package. However there appears to be at least one late-production Chevelle that was built with a 396 and all the required SS equipment but the "Z25" SS-396 option was not listed on the car's build sheet. It is believed that this car came from the factory with "SS" emblems but that is not 100% certain. Again in 1969 the only available SS engine was the 396 (in the same flavors as in 1968). In 1969 however it was possible (if you knew who to talk to) to order something called a COPO 427 Chevelle. COPO stands for "Central Office Production Order". The COPO program allowed dealers to order equipment that was not usually available (such as special paint special engines etc.) Unlike the '68s the '69 Chevelles had their 427 engines installed at the FACTORY not the dealership. This makes the '69 427s more legitimate in the eyes of collectors today. You didn't necessarily have to go to Yenko or some other special dealer in '69 to get a 427 Chevelle. Your local dealer could usually get you one if you filled out the right paperwork. While the '69 COPO 427s had basically the same equipment as the SS-396s they were not generally considered SSs because they did not have any external "SS" or "427" identification. They were the ultimate sleepers. Any genuine '69 COPO 427 Chevelle is quite valuable today. There are also unconfirmed reports of a '69 COPO 427 El Camino. In addition there was an "L89" aluminum head option available for the '69 375 HP 396. Few were ordered. 1969 SSs had "SS/396" emblems on the front back fenders door panels on the dash above the glove box and on the standard SS steering wheel. The '69 SS also had the twin-bulge hood like the '68s but the bolt holes where the hood hinges attached were slightly different. The '69 SS came with 14" SS wheels with "SS" center caps. The '69 SS stripe option consisted of a black white or red stripe which ran along the upper body sides. There are also reports of a few '69 SSs with dealer-painted hood stripes similar to the stripes used on many '70-'72 SSs. Another rare car produced only in '69 was an SS Chevelle built on the 2-door post sedan the "Chevelle 300". This was the only year that a 2-door post sedan SS was produced. Most of the '69 SSs and all the '70-'72 SSs were built upon the 2-door Malibu pillarless coupe.
