1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396

Description

This one is for the true collectors. A 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 with a numbers-matching L35 big block is already a tantalizing proposition, but have you checked out the paint? They spent plenty of time restoring this rare Carolina Blue special order coupe. It even comes with the right paperwork to back up that this spent most of its documented life not too far from our showroom!

Let's put aside for a moment that you can only locate only a handful of Carolina Blue cars at any given moment – ensuring tantalizing rarity. Instead, just look at the blue paint on this coupe. There's an amazing shimmer over an exceptionally crisp body, and that's no accident. The restoration was completed in 2016 and only about 500 miles put on it since, so everything still looks fantastic today. The trim tag leaves the paint code blank, which is a true symbol of a special order car. So, when you can get an iconic muscle car that's also this unique, we understand why they invested heavily in restoring this Chevelle back to day one specs. You see the quality work in the big items like the mirror-like chrome bumpers and panel gaps so good that the doors close effortlessly. And the details are all there, too. That's why the Mag wheels have the correct SS center caps. So while 1969 is often considered the ultimate year for owning a Chevelle, having an exceptionally rare factory-prepared specialty model SS is the way to always be the king amongst all muscle car royalty.

The restoration budget left plenty of room for the interior, too. The factory-correct black is a muscle car favorite, and its freshness will make you feel like you stepped back in time. Once again, the details are terrific. So you'll love all the period-correct pieces from the button-top upholstery, to the AM radio still ranking out tunes. While there is plenty of room for family and friends, this Super Sport is a lot of fun even when going solo. Bucket seats, a center, console, horseshoe shifter, and the three-spoke sports steering wheel are all there to remind you the driver is king.

Yes, that's the original numbers-matching big-block V8 you see in the pictures. And yes, it really does look that amazing in person. The restoration photos tell a story of a nut-n-bolt rejuvenation, and you can see the product in the engine bay that looks correct in everything from the orange on the block, to the stickers on the fan shroud, to the top of the battery. Then you look at the undercarriage photos, and we bet you're wondering if you've ever seen such a clean car before. It's the kind of freshness you get from a thorough restoration with so few miles. But even if this special Chevelle is amazingly factory fresh, features like the original TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, sway bars front & rear, and front disc brakes will mean you won't be able to resist plenty of joyrides.

The sale comes with documentation like the factory buildsheet, dealer invoice, original warranty card, owner's manual, maintenance records, and restoration photos to showcase how unique this Chevelle is. This is a dream car for a true collector. Don't miss what could be a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Call now!
