Year-in and year-outand#44; few cars are as popular as the Chevy Chevelle. Cars like this 1969 SS396 are consistently in demand by collectors and guys who just like speedand#44; and with a stout big block under the hoodand#44; this car definitely delivers. The code 72 Hugger Orange paint is this cars original colorand#44; now rendered in stunning two-stage urethane that looks miles deep. Better yetand#44; that vivid paint also verifies this is a real-deal SS396and#44; since Hugger Orange was only available on the SSand#44; and you know how hard 69s are to document. The paint job is in nice shape overalland#44; showing a few signs of ageand#44; but there are no worries about what might be lurking underneathand#44; because this is a car that has spent its life someplace warm and dry. Good gapsand#44; lots of extra effort on the block sandingand#44; and contrasting black stripes all make this car look incredible when you see it in the flesh. All the right SS equipment is in placeand#44; tooand#44; including the black grilleand#44; SS emblems all aroundand#44; and twin oval exhaust tips under the rear bumperand#44; just in case the guy you just passed missed the other warning signs. We like that they kept it stock on the outsideand#44; which means a flat hood and only one side mirrorand#44; both of which contribute to its street-fighter nature. And the black vinyl top adds just the right contrast that works especially well with Hugger Orange. Black buckets flanking a center console is how everyone wants their Chevelle configuredand#44; and with a few smart upgrades its a first-class way to have fun on a Saturday night. The upholstery is in excellent shapeand#44; replicating the factory lookand#44; right down to the nicely detailed door panels. New carpets enhance the plush feel inside and an AM/FM/CD stereo actually sounds pretty darned goodand#44; even with the bark of the exhaust behind you. Factory gauges cover the basics and are augmented by a set of Auto Meter gauges tucked under the dash. The horseshoe shifter for the TH400 3-speed automatic transmission is still the best way to select gears. In additionand#44; this is a factory A/C carand#44; and all the hardware that chills the air is newand#44; including the compressor under the hood and the R134a refrigerant insideand#44; so its quite effective. The trunk is properly finished with spatter paint and has a tidy look. The engine says 396 and its a period CTX-coded blockand#44; which is a 1970 396/350 horsepower unit that runs superbly. Theres a mildly upgraded cam inside and a Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold with 4-barrel carburetor up top. It looks pretty good wearing Chevy Orange engine enamel as well as factory-style chrome valve covers and an open-element air cleanerand#44; all of which help reinforce the OEM look. Long-tube headers add torque (like this car needs more torque) and feed a Flowmaster dual exhaust system that sounds spectacular at full boot. And like I saidand#44; the undersideand#44; while not restored and detailed for showand#44; is definitely ready to play on the street. A 12-bolt rear end means it wont be easy to break and classic SS wheels with 225/60/15 BFGoodrich T/A radials look just about right. We sell a lot of theseand#44; and its not hard to understand why. Great looksand#44; lots of performanceand#44; and even a modicum of comfort for long cruises thanks to the A/C systemand#44; this is truly the kind of collector car that can do it all. Call today! |
