What it worth? 1969 Chevelle ss396 375hp
I have a 1969 Chevelle ss396 that needs total restoration & I'm curios what it could be worth. It's Monoco Orange w/black vinyl top. Black bucket seats & console automatic. Manual steering & 3:55 posi. I have the "born with" engine from the intake to the pan with distributor. The rear end is the original except it has 4:45 posi now. Original th400 is gone & have a th400 from another ss396 but it was 325hp. The car has original paint & has never been wrecked. It has 71,000 miles one the odometer. The car was raced in the mid to late 70s. There is rust in below the windshield & below the back window. Both front fenders have the usual problems & a spot in the LR quarter. No rust in the floor or trunk & with the small problems in the fenders, I wouldn't think anybody would replace panels. Any thoughts? Thanks, Joe

Do you have any pics? Then it will be easier to make an estimate on WIW.

There was a Fathom Green on Green 1969 L78 Chevelle 4-speed survivor at MCACN that had one repaint, but was otherwise incredibly well preserved, original and in running order - and it could be bought for $30k at the time.
This one has original Monaco Orange paint (which I think is awesome, even with the rust) but it would need quite a few dollars to get it on the road. Personally, I would put a new vinyl top and interior in it and do a mechanical rebuild... and enjoy it!! Call me if you decide to part with it.... somebody stop me. |

If I remember right Monaco Orange was a SS only color in 69?
Joe, bad idea to post your password, you should change it asap. Here's the photos. I'd say between 16-20k current market? http://mob1164.photobucket.com/album...hevelle055.jpg http://mob1164.photobucket.com/album...hevelle056.jpg http://mob1164.photobucket.com/album...hevelle053.jpg http://mob1164.photobucket.com/album...hevelle052.jpg http://mob1164.photobucket.com/album...hevelle051.jpg http://mob1164.photobucket.com/album...hevelle050.jpg http://mob1164.photobucket.com/album...hevelle049.jpg http://mob1164.photobucket.com/album...hevelle048.jpg http://mob1164.photobucket.com/album...hevelle047.jpg http://mob1164.photobucket.com/album...hevelle046.jpg Rich Pern |

Yes you are right that paint code 72 in 69 means factory ss. btw we don't even need your password to acces your photos, just the username. And Rich, I think you are way off with your estimate.

I'm new at the photobucket thing. I probably won't use it after this.
It's changed. Thanks for the help & guidance Thanks, Joe |

Could be..... Not a chevelle guy [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] , I guess the big positive for this car is the color and the original motor.
I see that Charley's # match "running" L78 Nova is still available for 19k, so I guess it might be high in today's market. L78's just are not bringing what they were. Rich Pern |
