More than just a terrific muscle car presence, this 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS offers big block power, great SS features, believed to be true SS authenticity, and a terrific color combo. That's what makes this restored coupe irresistible. You've got to love the sleek pillarless coupe body. And the 1969-correct white SS side stripe emphasizes the gentle arc of the Chevelle's sheet metal. It's these kinds of details that let you know someone invested nicely in this Chevy. We can understand why. This has an attention-grabbing color straight from the factory. The reapplication of the code 53 Glacier Blue also means this car has an extra sparkle in the sunlight that can only come from a professional respray with modern paint formulas. This bright blue does a great job of contrasting some of the darker Super Sport trim pieces, like the blacked-out grille, blacked, out tail panel, and the Mag-style SS wheels. Plus, attention was paid to all the details â€" everything from the dual power bulges in the hood to the shining chrome bumpers â€" so the result is both stylish and aggressive. Parchment/white bucket seats are what you get with this factory code 791 interior. Once again, they really sweated the details, so you get a terrific button-top presentation. Plus, the center console comes complete with everyone's favorite horseshoe shifter. This coupe feels exceptionally correct inside with the carpets, door panels, and dash all looking amazing. The driver gets the three-spoke sports wheel, and beyond that is the round gauge setup that even includes a tach. There are provisions for factory air conditioning, and all the vents, gauges, and even the heat/defrost control have that great classic GM look and feel. This one even still has the Astro Ventilation tag next to the glovebox, which really tells you the level of detail in the restoration. Plus, the upgraded AM/FM/cassette stereo with digital tuner retains a knob-style presentation to give you better road trip tunes without altering the vintage atmosphere. Lift the hood to see a big block 396 (ok, really 402) cubic-inch V8. It has been nicely dressed in a proper coat of Chevy Orange. Plus, the polished valve covers, bright air topper, and other shining components make this dark engine bay look like it's radiating with power. This one really lives up to its appearance. It's a '71 high-performance block that has been enhanced with a large Edelbrock 600 CFM four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, MSD ignition, and Hooker ceramic-coated long tube headers. So you get some serious power and an irresistible growl when you mash the accelerator. The stout TH400 three-speed automatic transmission gets this power to the ground. The power steering, front disc brakes, and wide BF Goodrich T/As mean cruising is also easy in this coupe. This is an iconic Chevelle restored to be the ideal SS. So if you like power, poise, and distinction, you need to call today!
