Looking for my 69 Chevelle

[the427king]

Jeff, ask Roger to verify , but the scuncio car may have been a locate car from Norwood. It was either that or the buyer went to norwood first and they didnt have the right car so he went to scuncio. Its one of the two, I just cant remmebr although i did write it down somewhere. I was looking for the antenna myself or a white back seat

According to Howard, the original owner of the subject Black Chevelle SS, this is how his Chevelle looked after Mel Perry converted the car... prior to Howard taking delivery of the car on June 27, 1969.



According to Howard, Mel Perry equipped the Chevelle as follows:

- 427 short-block swapped in place of the L89 short-block, but using the factory equipped aluminum heads
- Experimental cam
- Three barrel Holley carb
- Stahl tuned headers (with factory chambered exhaust)
- Ladder bars
- Big Mickey Thompson back tires on Ansen slotted wheels
- Electronic ignition
- Hurst shifter with Linelock
- Factory gages were unchanged

According to Howard, it sat a little higher off the ground, it was all black paint (unaltered factory appearance) and retained it's original factory SS hood. Apparently Mel did not equip the car with a stinger hood like this one in the photo.



Imagine being Howard and driving that car off the lot!

That is SICK! Day Two perfection.

Aside Q: How were those 3 bbl Holley's? Motion ran those as well, right? You never hear about them nowadays.

For the record.....the pictured Black '69 Chevelle above is not the Mel Perry restored '69 Chevelle, instead it is an example of what it would have looked like

After seaching this forum for the black parchment Scuncio Chevelle the owner of the car said it had a build sheet from Scuncio so it was not delivered to Norwood so it was not a dealer trade. I tend to believe the guy that drove the Chevelle at the track who has nothing to gain he was just sharing a memory from actually being there back in the day but there is no way to know if it was Helmuts car. plus the owner of the burnished brown car knew the original owner of Helmuts car.

This photo of Norwood Motors looks to be from 1965.

It looks like Tripoli Turquoise and it looks like the window sticker is still on the car.
