This 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 gets everything right the stance, big block motor, four-on-the-floor, color combo, and restored with custom touches that make it a standout while respecting the history. If you are a fan of horsepower and have been looking for just the right A-body to satisfy your needs, look no further.You know the best Super Sports come in black. It makes these mid-sized cars look brutal, sinister, and downright predatory when they're done as good as this one. Just one look and you recognize the high level of restoration, because the professional application of the midnight hue has so much luster that you'd swear they make black mirrors. The white stripe specific to the 396 cars cuts like a laser through all that black paint, and gives the Chevelle a simple, clean look and emphasizes the awesome stance. Adding to the aggression is the custom cowl induction hood boldly proclaiming the SS in red like it's out for blood. Mirror-like chrome on the bumpers, fresh emblems, a blacked-out SS grille, and a lot of careful assembly lets you know there was a serious investment in restoring this coupe into the best bad boy on the planet. Even the polished 16-inch chrome wheels get the details right with Chevy bow ties in the center cap.GM designers did a nice job with the Chevelle's interior, combining upscale looks with sporty functionality. Just like the exterior, there has been a lot invested to making this pristinely stock while adding some nice upgrades. Fresh seat covers, sail panels, and door cards are all very crisp in white. But you don't have to worry about taking your shoes off before hopping in and going or a ride because the new carpeting is black. Those bucket seats look amazing with the custom SS logo embroidered on them. When you sit down, your left hand will love the feel of the aftermarket sports steering wheel with woodgrain, and your left arm will never want to leave the center console because that's where the Hurst shifter is. The rumble of the dual exhaust will always be your favorite soundtrack, but if you even need a break from that, there's also a full AM/FM/CD stereo system to enjoy.Under the hood is what you're going to love most about this restored Chevelle. The 396 cubic-inch V8 is ready for show duty wearing its correct bright valve covers and air cleaner. Plus, the big orange black and original intake are so bold that they radiate from the slick black painted engine bay. All the correct hoses are in place, and everything looks ready for you to simply pop the hood and wait for the crowd to gather. But to understand how much of a labor of love this restoration was, take a look at the undercarriage photos. This is a place where few people will see, but where you can really judge the quality of a classic. But more than just admire this coupe; you need to drive it. A Holley four-barrel carburetor tops this big block, just like a good 396 should. That helps with the dominant exhaust note and the street eating power... and you're in control of all of this thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. No matter if you're out tearing up the asphalt or just on a Sunday cruise, the power steering and front disc brakes are always welcomed driving features.There's less than 600 miles on this coupe since its restoration. It is truly one of those pristine classics that also features great driving characteristics. So this is the one you'll take the long road home after you grab the trophies at the car show. Well, that's only true if you're quick enough to grab this deal. Call today!!!
