1969 Chevrolet Chevelle 454

Description

When you think about the perfect classic car, what usually comes to mind is the one that steals the show with a terrific appearance, and then steals your heart on the drive home with its all-out power. That's what gets us excited about this 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle. With a hot 454 V8 under the hood, four-on-the-floor, A/C interior, and bright paint with tributes to the Super Sport and Yenko – it all make this a terrific total package classic.

The fastback bodylines of the '69 Chevelle are iconic, so we love to see this one in a standout color. It looks like a midpoint between the '69 colors of LeMans Blue and Dusk blue, so you'll always be noticeable in a crowd. And speaking of standouts, the Yenko S/C package on the hood makes this coupe look like it's always moving forward. And the full-length side stripe was great at accenting the sheetmetal's curves while adding speedy appeal. So this Chevelle truly does a great job of paying tribute to Chevrolet's greatest dealer. Other great upgrades include all the SS badging and a cool set of 15-inch alloys. But even without these updates, this coupe is a stunner. There was a solid investment in the fundamentals, and you know that every time you see your reflection in the re-chromed bumpers.

Inside, is exactly what you want on a muscle machine – a clean and pristine black bucket seat interior (and don't forget to spot those Yenko headrests.) The condition of these seats, as well as the door panels, carpeting, headliner, and dash all let you know there was a solid investment here. The driver gets plenty of goodies. Your right hand will instantly gravitate to the Hurst shifter. Your left one easily rests on the factory dual spoke steering wheel that also gives you a clear view to the gauges. Plus, there's a set of auxiliary readouts, so you always know what's going on in the engine bay. But since this A-body has room to comfortably carry four more people, you keep everyone comfortable with features like the upgraded AM/FM/cassette player with modern digital tuner and modern R134a air conditioning.

This might say 396 on the fenders, but the big block is really a big upgrade to a 454 cubic-inch V8. Not only is there a nice presentation with the shine of the valve covers, brake booster, and air topper, but also there are performance upgrades so this Chevy has a thunderous presence on the street. It starts with a MkIV short deck block. Chevy people know this is a younger motor built for performance in mind. The V8 inhales deeply through four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock Hi-rise aluminum intake. And it exhales with authority out of the X-pipe performance dual exhaust. All this power reliably gets to the road thanks to the Muncie M21 close-ratio four-speed manual transmission and the stout 12-bolt rear end. As much as this is a true muscle car, there's plenty of everyday drivability features such as power steering, front disc brakes, and modern Nexen Roadian HT tires. There's even a large aluminum radiator so that this muscle machine can run cool even if you're in traffic with the A/C pumping.

Complete with maintenance records and a GPS-based anti-theft system, this is the Chevelle that has it all... and it can all be yours if you're fast enough to grab this deal. Call today!!!
