1969 Chevrolet Chevelle

This 1969 Chevelle SS tribute is for sale in our Louisville KY showroom. The Chevelle was introduced in 1964 and was intended to be direct competition for Ford's rather popular Fairlane. Little did they know it would wind up being one of the most memorable cars GM ever produced. The 1969 Chevelle marked the first year that the SS was just an option and not an actual line of vehicles making them very hard to document today. This Red beast definitely has the look of a SS but once you fire it up you know that this is something more. Under the hood lies an astounding 502 cubic inch big block that sounds as good as it looks. With a set of custom heads and large cam it is believed to be putting out over 500 horses. Taming all that power requires a transmission that can handle it. Having that said a Turbo 400 was sourced, built to handle the extra power and installed. The next step was figuring out what gear set to put in the 12 bolt posi rear end. After going back and forth a set of 4.10's were installed and one super nice and super strong drive train was born. Of course the regular rear suspension didn't make since so an aftermarket Hotchkis set up was installed giving this Big Block Chevy the ability to put all that power to the ground. Hop in the cockpit and you will notice what appears to be a stock SS interior, but upon further looking you will notice not only a huge TACH but also a pod of multiple switches giving it the feel of a full on race car. Yet when you look down and see the SS steering wheel with the correct SS gauges that feeling quickly goes away. If you are looking for a car that has the ability to do any facet of the classic car hobby rather it is cruising, show, or some stop light to stop light action look no further. Options on this 1969 Chevelle SS tribute include; AM/FM/Cassette, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Seat Belts, Vinyl Interior, Hub Caps, and Rally wheels wrapped in Radial Tires.
