1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396INTRODUCTION: Body off frame, rotisserie restoration. The legendary L78 motor with a 4-speed and a posi will take you right back to the muscle car era!
EXTERIOR: This is a high quality fit and finish. The body was off the frame, stripped down and flipped on a rotisserie so it could be worked from every angle. The result is laser straight panels that fit precisely. Repainted its original Cortez silver, the tiny metallic is laid out evenly and the clear coat is polished like glass. The stripes are even smooth to the touch. It looks like at the time of restoration they replaced all of the chrome and trim including bumpers, moldings, mirrors, handles, emblems etc. The weatherstrips and seals were also replaced. It has T3 reproduction headlamps. It is sitting pretty on a set of reproduction Wide Oval tires that actually have radial technology. They are wrapped around new 15 inch chrome SS wheels.
INTERIOR: Pretty much looks new from floor to ceiling. It does have fresh looking carpet that fits real nice and some embroidered mats, a nice set of original seat belts and the best part of all is the 4-speed sticking out of the hump! The seats have been reupholstered, door panels and armrests were replaced. The headliner, visors and mirror look like new. The entire dash area is clean: the instrument panel, dash pad and steering wheel were replaced. gauges It also has a retro stereo, it's hands free with auxiliary plugs.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: That is a completely rebuilt 396-375 hp L-78 motor! It features the high compression pistons, hotter cam, rectangular port heads matched to a GM aluminum intake.

Most components were replaced: alternator, fuel pump, wiper motor etc. It features power steering and power brakes which has a cadmium plated booster. It is complete: squirters are hooked up, the horns work, it has hood insulation and the plastic grilled on the cowl. It has reproduction GM hoses, hose clamps and spring clamp battery cables. All the metal surfaces are painted very nicely.
UNDERSIDE: The body was lifted off of the frame and flipped on a rotisserie so the floors could easily be prepped and painted like new. Zero rust, all clean braces and inner rockers etc.The frame and chassis components were sandblasted and then powder coated. The brake system was gone through, it has factory disc in front and drum in back. The e-brake cables and brake lines were replaced.

Looking up at the motor it is clean Chevy, the factory type starter was replaced. It has a correct 1969 M20 Muncie 4-speed with a Hurst linkage.
