1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport 1241 Miles Tuxedo Black Convertible 396 V8 3

Although this slick Chevelle's cowl tag says it originally wore an attractive coat of GM code 57 Fathom Green there won't be many guys who argue its sinister GM code 10 Tuxedo Black urethane isn't a big improvement. And to their credit the restorers did more than just spray fresh paint they got the body straight the gaps exact and the panels flat and wave-free. Of course one quick look tells us this convertible's 2012 restoration WAS more than just the 'deal of the week' treatment. And in fact ...careful examination reveals a frame-off nut and bolt rebuild during which no expense was spared to restore every square inch of the car's sculpted metal to better-than-new condition. If you walked into your local Chevrolet dealer in 1969 and said you wanted a Chevelle with a great combination of power and livability chances are you'd receive an engine just like the 396 cubic inch L35 V8 you see here. Wearing a correct 3955272 casting number this impressive mill utilizes a nodular iron crankshaft hydraulic lifters oval port closed chamber heads and two-bolt main caps to turn stout 10.25 to 1 compression into a nice round 325 horsepower. Behind the stout big block a smooth shifting Turbo-Hydramatic 400 3-speed transmission sends power to a familiar 12 bolt Posi-traction rear end that's equipped with easy driving gears. And at the corners of the car correctly painted 14 inch Super Sport wheels spin vintage looking G70-14 Firestone Wide Oval tires around pristine trim rings and correct "SS" branded center caps. If you're looking for a fantastic cruiser that sounds great and has plenty of power we have your car!
