1969 Monaco Orange L78 300 Deluxe Post Sedan Resto

Got a call last night a freind who's a roofer was doin a job around the corner from my home ( ST. Clair Shores, Mi) and he said the owner of the house opened his garage and there sat 2 69 chevelles. One being a Maroon/Red 69 ss 300 deluxe post car. So he started asking questions. The Owner said he was the original owner and the car was completely original. He said the owner pulled the original motor and replaced it with a 427 when the car was first bought. Said the original motor was/is stored in the corner of garage.According to my freind the car has very very low original miles. Yea I know almost sounds like a fantasy story. lol Im definitely gonna look into it for myself.

My question to all of you is, does anyone know or seen this 69 ss post car and Im gonna approach this gentlemens home just to inquire about the car but how/what should I say. I dont want him thinking im after his car if it even exists. First I have to locate the home then im gonna drive by until I see the garage opened to see what's in it. Any other suggestions?

Roofers find all the neat cars! Thats how my black 72 Formula 455HO was found. During a roof estimate, the owner's widow opened up the garage, and there it was.

Well the fact is, that this is second hand info but im definitely gonna get nosey. I go to all the local shows and I mean all lol and Iv never seen it. But my buddy who seen the car said the gentlemen that owns the car looks to be in his mid to upper 80's. Hopefully it turns out to be true. I just want to see it, well id love to own it but... From what I gather Merollis Chevrolet was big into the super cars back in the day and this car (if it exists) is only a mile and a half from there. We will see.
