Default Welcoming my Newest Family Member to my Registry

This was an exciting week and I know many of my Registered SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan Owners have been waiting for me to spill the beans.

I was very honored to be a part of this very special acquisition, our very own Helmut (L78M22Rag) purchased a very unique one owner, original owner, original paint, 25,500 original mile, fully documented 1969 L35 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan in the color <span style="font-weight: bold">Black.</span>

This Chevelle has many great stories..... I was so bewildered that the original owner was going to truly sell his car that he purchased and ordered brand new. This car was truly street raced and was literally &quot;Day 2ed&quot; as soon as it was delivered home and has been in the same condition just as you see it in these pictures. The paint is ALL original except for the hood, the right front fender along with the front right headlight and grille extension. Funny story and reason the car had a slight front end accident...as the original owner said he was &quot;Distracted&quot;. He had a young lady in the front bench seat of the car.....in those days ladies wore skirts, well as he turned the corner the young lady`s skirt blew up a bit too high and he was &quot;Distracted&quot; and ran his Chevelle into a 1969 Camaro, hence the damage to the front of the car. This car has been garage kept all of it`s life....never ever seen rain. The original owner was even smart enough to buy new carpeting and place it over the original &quot;Rubber Mat&quot; to preserve it.

The other crazy story was that Helmut got cold feet and for a few minutes and declined from buying this amazing car.... Helmut even gave me the go ahead to pass the car to someone else....so I did. I literally had the car sold in minutes after Helmut declined to another great car guy whom we`ll just save for another story later. Needless to say, Helmut came to grips and purchased this wonderful 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan Chevelle.

Helmut welcome to my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan Chevelle Registry &amp; Family. This Chevelle is in good hands.

I`ll let Helmut tell the rest of the Story.



















Dan

Current engine is a 390hp 427 that has been in the car since the early 1970`s. The original engine was pulled by the original owner and left on the premises of his former home, which he sold.

Kurt,

43 and counting [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Kurt,

Look at the similarity of the fuel pump location between your Post Sedan Chevelle and this one [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
