It's a SS396 post sedan.Are they worth anything?
 

So my buddy sends me an email this morning and says-I'm going to pick up a 69 SS396 Chevelle today.It's rough but I'm getting it for under $1000.It's a 325HP 4 Spd bench.Dust blue mettallic with all the paperwork.No motor or trans.

So I say.Cool man.Even if it's tough the rear is worth that much.He says.Oh ya.It's a 300 post sedan.Did you know they made those?Are they worth anything?A moment of silence on my end.So after I pick myself up off the floor.I say.Are you kidding?Do you know what those cars are worth?

I'll try and post pics later.

Pics would be awesome, sounds like good find at a great price!

Dan........calling Dan Vasic!!!!!!!!

On a side note......yes it's probably worth more than you paid. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] Especially since there are currently less than 50 in Dan's registry. As stated above.....pictures will help.

Very exciting :-)

Re: It's a SS396 post sedan.Are they worth anything?
 

Very cool,

Is it a Canadian made Post Sedan? They are the best Post Sedans.

Can I come see it......?

Re: It's a SS396 post sedan.Are they worth anything?
 

Well.Turns out it is a non post hardtop 300.It still has the back side interior panels and white stripe seats.It has factory tach and gauges.So I ask him how bad the frame is.&quot;It has no frame.They mounted the body on a 4x4 frame and were using it as a bush buggy!&quot;
Damn goofy Canadians!lol.Waiting on pics.

Re: It's a SS396 post sedan.Are they worth anything?
 

Yikes, sounds rough X100

Still interested to see pics and docs.

Dan

Re: It's a SS396 post sedan.Are they worth anything?
 

Great.

Looking forward to it.

Not many of the hard top 300 Deluxe four wheel drive Chevelles have survived.

Ryan

Re: It's a SS396 post sedan.Are they worth anything?

Nice cowl tag. I'd probably run from that project though. Phil Woj.

----IF, and its a big IF, the car turned out to be an L78 and they paid you $20,000 to haul it away, you might break even!!!......Bill S

Re: It's a SS396 post sedan.Are they worth anything?
 

Cowl tag shows it came with an L35 325Hp.

You mean George Zapora.

Re: It's a SS396 post sedan.Are they worth anything?
 

Can't say I would have ever picked it up by the roof.

Re: It's a SS396 post sedan.Are they worth anything?
 

She's a little ruff around the edges, I can't believe I used to cut up post cars when I parted them out. Now I go on quests to find them.

Re: It's a SS396 post sedan.Are they worth anything?
 

So far, I haven't seen $1000.00 worth.

It needs $20,000 in the body alone!

The person who restores a car as rare as this isn't concerened as much about how much money they spend but more about saving it. :twocents:

Kurt [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Re: It's a SS396 post sedan.Are they worth anything?
 

Agree, restore it for love not for money.

----Im with you, Kurt. Really I am. Ive overspent on plenty of projects. But,,, at the end of the day there has to be some kind of fiscal responsibility. Plus, this hardtop just isnt rare enough to warrant the outpour of greenbacks. It would be a bit better if there was a couple of B-pillars, maybe. This is just my opinion, of course. Good luck to anyone willing to attack this poor thing......Bill S

Re: It's a SS396 post sedan.Are they worth anything?
 

But it's not just a ordinary hardtop.....it's a SS396 300 deluxe hardtop. Not too many of those around either.

Agreed Kurt, by my notes GM made 1238, of the 13437 body style with the L35, rarer than an LS6. And the 69 is better looking too.

Nice patina,little buffing on a sunny afternoon would make
this baby shine again! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif[/img]

Hi guys I'm Steve. I'm the guy that bought this rough car. Lol I found the car on kijiji being offered as a bonus to the purchase of a 68 6 cyl Malibu. I emailed the guy not expecting him to want to sell the 69 SS396 4 speed body separately. He then responded and said &quot;what will you offer for it?&quot; I then called him and asked him a few questions about the overall condition of it, and if there were any parts left on it. He said &quot;not many but it does have the SS hood, and a factory tach dash still in it&quot;. I then asked him to give me the numbers off the cowl tag. I asked him what he needed for the car and he said $800. I decided to make the 3 hour drive with the trailer to get it. It is really rough, but is really cool to find such a car sitting in the bush with the 5500 tach, 4 speed column, clutch pedals, BB hood, perfect dash pad, and the nice Canadian cowl tag. I offered him $500 and we settled at $550. I think I did ok even if the body is really poor. I sent away to GM this morning and got the vehicle package. Ill post the pics of it.

Wow, a 4.10 geared rear with the 325 horse engine. Wonder if it flung many belts when new? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Re: It's a SS396 post sedan.Are they worth anything?
 

See, more proof that there are more 13427 and 13437 with either an L35 or L34 that were born with a KK 4.10.... What a pretty car this was when new.

Great Stuff [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

So it was possible to get the M20 wide-ratio with digger gears?

Re: It's a SS396 post sedan.Are they worth anything?
 

I think I have a 69 3 speed trans for one of those...

Remember the transmission was still optional. You could order what you want. I wouldn't know about 4.56 and 4.88 ordered vehicles though. I've only ever seen docs with M21 and M22 in front of those.
