1969 SS 396/350 Chevelle

Well after 4 1/2 months, it finally arrived!



It's been a long haul, but one that has been worthwhile. I am very happy with the quality of the restoration and it is the nicest car that I have imported yet. Like always there are a couple of things I will be doing, and that has already began by swapping out the 15" wheels and tires (which I managed to sell in an hour of advertising, rather be lucky than good as they say!), for my 14" set, the battery is shot which is to be expected, and a couple of other minor things. So a busy few weeks coming with a thorough clean up from the trip and some registration in preparation for our spring and summer. Some better pics to come.
Hey Dan, the interior cleaned up real nice and we are very happy with it and it turns out the 15" wheels had deep caps on them so needless to say I swapped them out onto the 14's. I'd say they are repros, but a nice surprise all the same. Now I have 2 sets!

Thanks Bruce.
Well, spent a couple of hours giving it a good wash inside and out, then out for it's maiden Oz voyage.
Drives real nice, could do with some stiffer shocks in the rear though. Will go in for a rear spring change shortly to lower the rear some, so I will change the shocks at the same time. Next week it will have a roadworthy certificate done, then off for registration and we can hit the road.
