Many consider the 1969 Chevelle SS 396 with the 375-hp L78 engine, as found in this car, the wildest factory built Chevelle. This particular car was bought from the second owner, who owned it since 1975. It is reported to have been stored in a barn until the current owner bought it in 2014. Everything is reported as new, rebuilt or replaced. No money was spared on its build and restoration. This process was executed in a professional nut-and-bolt fashion on a rotisserie. The Chevelle is now suitably found as a concours level restored car in original specifications. Along with having the build sheet as documentation, it is also Jerry McNeish inspected and certified.

The Chevelle runs with the uncommon and impressive L78 396-cid, 375-hp V-8 engine which is matched to a four-speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt Posi-traction rear end. All of the drivetrain is rebuilt and correct for this car. It is finished in code 72 Hugger Orange, which is correct according to the data tag and the benchseat interior is all new and presented in black. The paint is of show-quality and among the features are power steering, power brakes with front discs, correct dual exhaust setup, original 14-inch Super Sport wheels, correct Goodyear Polyglas tires, in-dash tachometer and gauges, air smog system and radio. Beautifully presented in all facets; this car is not going to leave you disappointed.
