1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396

Description

You really just can't go wrong with a big block V8. It only gets better in this 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport with the enhanced power and sound you love in an aggressive red/black body.

It's hard not to love a classic American muscle car in a deep shiny red, and this SS certainly wears the part of the era's most potent street car. Give it the correct side stripe and a matching black vinyl roof, and this is an attention grabber on the streets and at the car cruise-ins. Heck, even the redline tires match nicely with this dual color scheme. Still, looking cool is one thing, but respect is something different all together. That's why this coupe comes complete with all the correct SS 396 badging, big chrome bumpers, and the iconic Mag wheels with SS center caps.

One look inside, you know this Chevelle SS has everything you want. It starts with the high-back bucket seats. There was some investment here because the black vinyl shows very little seat time. In between is the optional center console with the iconic horseshoe shifter. The carpets, door panels, and dash all have a very fresh feeling to them. And speaking of fresh, the upgraded air conditioning running modern R-134a can keep everyone cool all through the summer season. Plus, the AM/FM/cassette stereo looks period-correct, so you can have more modern tunes without spoiling the vintage atmosphere.

All the horsepower you'll be enjoying is compliments of a thundering 396 cubic-inch L34 big block V8. You'll have no worries opening the hood at shows because its properly dressed in bright Chevy Orange paint with correct chrome valve covers and air cleaner. There's even some extra brightwork thrown in for added flash. But, what you'll enjoy most about this big V8 are the things that are a little harder to see. It inhales deeply through an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and exhales freely through long tube headers. In between there's a cast iron block and heads, 10.25: 1 compression ratio, and hydraulic valve lifters. This means you get an extra wallop of power and a seriously cool rumble out of the new performance dual exhaust. So you know this has all the right elements to be a great muscle car, but for those days when you just want a cool cruising coupe, this one also comes with power steering, front disc brakes, and a three-speed automatic transmission.

This '69 Chevelle SS represents a wonderful opportunity to own a big block that can be taken out and driven with tons of fun in mind. It even comes with the owner's manual. Cars like this don't last long in our showroom. Call today!!
