1969 Chevelle SS396

4 Speed

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

Watch a 2015 Corvette Z06 run the quarter in 11.7 seconds

Sun, Dec 28 2014

We're not writing about this because it's an amazing run, we're writing about it because it appears to be the first run. Someone took a 2015 Corvette Z06 to Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas and blasted it down through the quarter mile. It's still wearing the dealer number in wax pen on the windshield and dealer plates, so this example is fresh from the mold. It's also a seven-speed manual. General Motors said the row-your-own Z06 can do the 'strip in 11.2 seconds, and they undoubtedly had a professional driver and more than one run to set that time. To have Just Some Guy show up at the raceway and do an 11.7 at 120.54 mph on his first run means we expect good things to come as Z06s get delivered to their owners. Check out the run in the video.

Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads

Sun, May 31 2015

Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.
