1969 Chevrolet Chevelle

This 1969 Chevrolet Big Block Chevelle is for sale in our Louisville KY showroom. What many consider the most iconic of all muscle cars the 69 Chevelle styling wise was really a carryover from 68 when GM drastically changed the body lines going for more of a fastback look. It was an instant success with 69 topping even the extremely high 68 numbers. Having that said they have endured the test of time and are still considered to this day one of the cleanest vehicle designs ever. As of late they have become very popular in the custom world. Starting off with an already great car, they will emphasize the sleek lines by lowering it, adding some bigger than stock wheels turning a great looking car into an absolute traffic stopper. This black beauty has taken that concept and executed it perfectly. The stance was taken care of by a set of coilovers all the way around bring the front down significantly while the back has been leveled out just enough to make the front even more exaggerated. Add to it the staggered Foose wheels with 17/245's on the front and 18/275's on the back and this thing looks like it is going 100 MPH standing still. The black paint is exceptional with a show car quality finish that would make Barry Meguiar himself jealous. Ofcourse black paint will bring to life any and all imperfections in the body which this one seems to be as straight as they come. Complimenting the black paint is what appears to be all new chrome bumpers which, when combined with the custom wheels .the contrast of the 2 look absolutely amazing. Pop the period correct SS hood and the monstrous 454 sits nicely between the frame rails with a set of custom flamed valve covers finishing off the BBC motor. Ofcourse with all of this power you need a transmission that can handle it. Naturally you can be like most and put a TH400 3 speed which will work great as long as you don't want to really drive it. This beast was meant to be driven so a built 700r4 was sourced giving it the luxury of overdrive. Not only does it handle the power nicely but you can get on the highway and cruise at 75 while turning roughly 2100 RPM. Ofcourse in 1969 the brakes weren't quite what they are today so a set of Wilwood disc brakes was added giving it not only a great pedal feel but drastically reducing the stopping distance. Open the driver door and the SS correct interior is in great condition, with the controls to the Vintage AC right at your fingertips. The center console contains the classic horseshoe shifter which has been adapted to handle the OD Trans. If you have been looking for an iconic car that can be driven with all of today's luxuries with the looks of yesterday the search is over. AC, AM/FM/CD, Vinyl Interior, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Aluminum Wheels wrapped in Performance Radial Tires.
