Need some Critique on my 69

Joe,

I was an original SS396 Chevelle owner until 1993. Yours would be the first that I know of.........what plant was it built?

Jerry... This is the car Joe is talking about!

Bruce,

A one owner Motion SS Chevelle with docs. Wow! Not many around like this I'm sure.

Joe, did you ever race this car? I grew up 15 minutes away from Motion in N. Massapequa. Used to go over there when I was just barely a teenager. It was a happening place back then.

FWIW..My 69, 06D, Bal built, survivor type car has the washer and bolt like the picture Rich posted.

Here's the mutt that I bought. L89, M22, chambered 4.10 rear, etc.

The Nova in the photo belonged to a buddy of mine. Had a .060" 427 that ran 11.00s on 8" tires. Was a very fast street racer!

Here's another shot at Capital Raceway, early 1970s. Best the car ever went with 7" tires and 4.88s was in the 12.30s. Very heavy car.

The aluminum heads put the car in B/Stock instead of C/Stock which hurt the car in ET. Meant I had to run with the 375 hp Camaros.

Mine was a Baltimore car. I'll have to check the parts books and assm manual to see what is called out. Hard to believe that this would be a plant variation. All Kansas City cars that I've seen are like the Balto cars. All Camaros built at both assm plants are the same with large washers and 5/16 bolts.

Unless Motion swapped them out when front spring lifts were put in............
