1969 Chevelle SS396

Monaco Orange Code 72

First, I am a licensed, insured and bonded Michigan dealer.  I have owned a dealership in Michigan since 1988.  I am not a classic car dealer, but do love classic cars in general.  When I take them on trade I generally enjoy them for a while, decorate my showroom with them, and sell them…several here on eBay over the years.  I took this and two other cars in on trade last year from the same person.  With this car which he owned since 1989, I took his 1960 Impala Bubble top and his 1970 Big Block Convertible Pontiac Lemans Sport Black on Black.   I will be offering these for sale here on eBay as well over the next few weeks.

Available for sale is my 72 Color Code, Monaco/Hugger Orange 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 with a 4 Speed.  I will try to spare you the sales pitch as this car shouldn’t need one.  What I will try to do is give you as much information as I can is a short to the point description

So, in a nutshell.

1.  Based on information from ChevelleStuff.net, 1969 this being Monaco Orange Code 72, this is a verified 396SS Chevelle.

2. The car still is has a NOM 1968 396 L34 350hp(more for sure now) Engine (T0418EF Stamping) with 4 Speed M21 Transmission (3925660 Casting #). 

3. Engine runs very strong and was built to go fast.  There is evidence as you will see in the pictures the car was drag raced at some point in its life per the driveshaft loops.  Front up top you couldn’t tell.

4. Last time car was driven was in 2004 before I took possession.  Still has 2004 Michigan plates on it.  I have driven the car in a recent local 700 car cruise night.  Run, shifts and stops as it should.

5. The car was repainted the original color in 1997 and is the paint on the car now.  The rear quarters have been patched very well.  Pictures of trunk drops will show nice.  The inner and our rockers are original and rust free.  The doors look like they had some glass put in the lower corners .  No bubbling or popping.  Does have a couple small cracks as you can see in pictures.  There’re small but I want you to know about them.

6. Exterior body looks beautiful and straight.  Doors shut perfectly with a nice quiet solid thump.  Body lines are nice around.  I have not buffed this car.  You see the finish after I washed it.  I can tell is was buffed and waxed a lot as there are a two faint thin paint areas from buffing this single stage paint.  I tried to get them in pictures but it won’t show in pictures.   Like I said, faint.  You could walk around the car for a week and probably not notice them but I want full disclosure and no surprises.

7. The underside is solid but has had a couple small patches put in.  Small like two inches.   It looks like the center tunnel has been cut for transmission fitting too.  Trunk floor, rockers, frame rails are all solid.  The pictures shows the underside as I received it.  No aerosol overhaul.  What you see is what you get.  Nothing hidden.

8. Interior is great in near new condition with exception of small crack in dash on passenger side.  Carpet, seats, door panels, head liner and package tray.  All very nice condition!

9. Glass is original and clear.  Rear window has several scratches in it.  Operators are all in working order.

10.  Lights and gauges work.

11.  Trim, chrome stainless is all in very nice condition.

If I was buying this car here on Ebay, this is the information I would want.  This combined with the pictures will give you, should be everything you need to make an informed decision.  It’s a real SS396 Chevelle in Orange.  If you consider everything I have listed here, all the pictures shown, and the fact I have maintained a 100% Feedback for everything I have sold here on Ebay, you can make a safe bet your expectations will be met or exceeded when you win and take possession of your new 69 SS396. 

As you would expect, it is a car that is over 40 years old.  It’s not perfect but looks and drives great, with a pretty great pedigree.  It is sold as is, without any warranty.  You as the buyer are responsible for shipping arrangements and the cost that goes along with it.  I do have a few contacts in that arena or Uship is a good source to get a competitive shipping price.  Please have all your finances in order before you bid, at least before the auction ends as a listing does take a fair amount of time and cost to put together.  I haven’t ever run into any problems here, and really don’t want to start a trend.  Be a stand up person as I will be.  Terms of the sale include a $1000.00 deposit made via PayPal, cash and bank wire at auction end.  I am a dealer and have a credit card processing machine, so that is an option also.  The balance is expected within 7 days of auction end but sooner would be appreciated.  This is in cash or wire transfer.  In this listing I have been very upfront and honest and expect nothing but the same in return.  I appreciate your time reading my listing.     My reserve based on the selling price of some clone SS396’s, is low so there should be a new owner at the end of the auction.  My ultimate goal is to sell the car.  The car is available for sale at my dealership, so I do reserve the right to end the auction early if the car sells prior to auction end.  My name is Kurt.  Enjoy the auction.  If you have questions, please feel free to give me a call directly at 231 578-2887.  If you would like to see the car, it is located at my dealership in Whitehall Michigan.  And, yes, that is my short version.  Have a good oneJ
