Re: 1969 SS 396 Chevelle L-78 SO (-)Rallye green
supercar kid, brings back memories. My car did not have
green paint on the firewall, windshield wiper area. Are you sure this is original paint? Doesn't look like it to me.
In pittsburgh, and surrounding counties there were (2) 1969
Rallye green chevelles. Mine a black vinyl top, no stripe,
4 speed, 3.55 gears, m22 rock-crusher, rear antenna, tinted
windows, and my friend Tony a 69 325hp convertible, black
top, rear antenna. I am positive there were no other
69 rallye green chevelles in western pa. I was active in the
local drag race scene, I don't think there were any other
green chevelles within a few hundred miles, or more. I have
never heard of any other. I sold my car in 1972. The original motor long since gone, replaced with an L-88 raced
it then sold the L-88 and put a 1966 350hp hyd lifter motor
in it. I removed the chrome around the wheel wells, because
the M&H 10.65 would rub. just about everyone who raced Chevelles did this. ZL-1 H.O.... you have a great looking
car. certainly a rarity. the second day i had my car, I took
off the smog pump, intalled hooker headers, air shocks, etc.
In Pittsburgh, almost everybody customized (for racing) their cars.
