Description
Lot #1051.1 - This 1969 Chevrolet is a fine example of an original 396 Super Sport and possesses a high level of originality coupled with a long list of factory-installed option content. Believed to be a one-owner car with 24,374 actual miles (the title reads mileage exempt), the Chevrolet - which was previously owned by Chuck Hansen, president of the American Chevelle Enthusiasts Society - has been meticulously restored to its former glory and looks great in its Tuxedo Black paint with matching interior. Well-optioned with the Super Sport package, this Chevelle boasts an L34 Turbo Jet 396ci big-block V8 engine topped with a chrome factory air cleaner and valve covers. This highly detailed engine is mated to a Turbo 400 3-speed automatic transmission. A Gardener dual exhaust system makes all the right sounds, while the A.I.R. smog system keeps the fumes at the proper level. The extensive list of factory options includes power brakes, power steering and air conditioning. Inside the bench seat interior is a tilt steering column that houses the original wood steering wheel. A factory in-dash tachometer is surrounded by a cluster of gauges to monitor the Chevelle operating conditions. Other options include tinted glass, AM/FM radio and auxiliary interior lighting. Certified by renowned Chevelle expert Jerry MacNeish, this Super Sport has been authenticated that the engine, transmission and rear axle are the original units installed at the Chevrolet factory. Also included are the original vehicle invoice, purchase contracts and owner's manual. This Chevelle is a rotisserie-restored, concours-level model that is ready for its new owner.
