Just found 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan
I'm sure several of you already know that I was looking for one of these. With some help from Postsedans' (Dan V)knowledge base, I was able to pull the trigger on this one when it came up for sale.
The car has it's born with engine and rear end, but the trans is not, but I'll live with the 661 case M22 for now. Wheelhop and I went to get it last Wednesday near Detroit. As found. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4...rSSDeluxec.jpg |

Rick,
I am so happy that you are now the proud new owner of this great rare 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan..... another perfect example of such a car being in the right hands. Rick you and I will have many good times with you now being a member of my 1969 SS396 Post Sedan Registry. Dan. |
Re: Just found 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan
12-bolt rear date code is correct for the build date of the car.
D-9-9 http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4...ailpics006.jpg |
Re: Just found 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan
Stamped assembly code KJ equates to a 3.55 open 12-bolt.

Re: Just found 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan
Rick,
I am now green with envy. Very nice car. I'm sure you will enjoy it. Do you still have the garnet red 300? Congrats. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif Phil Woj. |
Re: Just found 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan
The speedo shows 67,000 and I believe it's real miles from everything I've seen on the car to this point.

Re: Just found 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan
Nice car! Love the color combo. Stupid question for you post car guys... are those the original exterior door handles, and are they different for a coupe vs. a 2 door sedan? They look sorta odd to me, like they aim skyward a bit. Not sh*tpickin', just askin'! -JB

Re: Just found 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan
Original (thick) disc brake rotors. Spring tag is still there but unreadable. Blue bleeder caps still on.

Rick,
Congrats you deserve it!!!!! Looks great!!! Sean |
Re: Just found 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan
Phil,
I still have the Garnet red 300. It's in resto mode, but I got side-tracked a little. A separate replacement frame for that one has been blasted and painted. |
Re: Just found 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan
I went to Ricks today to see the 1969 Chevelle is person.....This is currently one of one L35 known to exist in this stunning color combo....Cortez Silver with Blue Cloth Interior.
Proud new owner.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...8/P1011421.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...8/P1011422.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...8/P1011413.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...8/P1011414.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...P1011372-1.jpg Dan. |
Re: Just found 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan
The chrome on the original air cleaner and valve covers is very nice. A little polish should make `em look almost new again.

Re: Just found 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan
Original Muncie shifter. I need to find a blue rubber floor mat for mine as well as Dan's.

Re: Just found 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan
This is the car that was on Ebay with a buy-it now. I was on the phone with the seller and then showing my wife the car, while I nervously hit the Buy-it-now button.
Turns out they bought it in `93, drove it a couple years locally to cruises, then parked it till I bought it. They gave me the ad that they bought it from in the Detroit Tradin' Times. Has anyone seen this car before? I want to try and follow it's history, but the number in the old ad is defunct. I tried different area codes in front of the number and even sent Tradin' Times an E-mail asking if they had info about old ads. Nothing from them yet, and I don't think they will get back to me, but I'll try calling them next. |

[/ QUOTE ] Plans are to just clean it and correct as much as possible, then just enjoy it. I may do a resto on it years down the road. I could use a smog pump for it as I guess all the 325 horse cars with a manual trans got smog from the factory in `69. |
Re: Just found 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan
Rick,
When you get the chance.....post a picture of that ad from Tardin`Times.....perhaps someone will remember the ad. Dan. |
Re: Just found 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan
Congrads on your find... Very nice car.. Love the blue interior..

Re: Just found 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan
Thanks guys, glad you like it. It's definitely a keeper.
Here's the ad from the Detroit Tradin' Times just before Labor Day 1993. Anybody remember this car at all, let me know. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4...dan93ad001.jpg |
