69 RS Gold / White Hat Original White Interior

[firstgenaddict]

Not mine but is listed locally for sale if anyone wants photos opinions etc.
If anyone has a highend 69 and needed or wanted a complete ORIGINAL interior this would be the way to go... it is pricey however when do you find a complete white interior with all components and plastic as a set?

That's interesting, an RS w A/C and white hat only good for parts. The 307 really is a value anchor.

35 grand is a lot of dough for a parts car....personally I think it's a pretty darn nice car, why would someone want to part it out??? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif

[firstgenaddict]

Is it blasphemy to speak of stripping and replacing the parts on a lesser car if you need the parts for a rarer one?

I don't think that taking from one for another is bad unless the car is a survivor. In that case an all original even 6cyl car with original paint, interior, etc, be preserved and not become a donor. I for one am still searching for that all elusive rusty beat up 67 with deluxe parchment so I can give the interior a new home in my car.

One can dream I suppose, down to just needing seats.

I have looked at this car 2 times. I sure wish I could bring it home...but there's the lack of $$$ and space.
The car has been painted, but the interior is supposed to be original. I pulled the back seat hoping to find a build sheet but it was not there.
I have a Gold standard 69 (black top black interior) with the 327, ps/pb/ac and a turbo 350 on the column. The 2 would look awesome side by side. My car has just over 40,000 miles and this car is definitely nicer.

Nice car but I couldn't drive it with that motor. Yes I would take a big block out of a less desireable car to upgrade this RS. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

Very nice Car http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

But excuse me, i don´t know the 307ci Engine http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Is that a special Model or what?

[x Baldwin Motion]

A 307 cu in (5 L) version was produced from 1968 through 1973. Engine bore was 3.875 inches (98.4 mm) with a 3.25-inch (82.6 mm) stroke.

The 307 replaced the 283 in Chevrolet cars and produced 200 hp (149 kW) SAE gross at 4600 rpm and 300 lb·ft (407 N·m) of torque at 2400 rpm in the 1960s. The later emissions-modified versions produced just 115 hp (86 kW) SAE net, giving the engine one of the lowest power-per-displacement ratings of all time . Chevrolet never produced a high-performance version of this engine, though they did produce, for Outboard Marine Corporation, a high-performance marinized 307, rated at 235 hp (175 kW) and 245 hp (183 kW) SAE gross, depending on year, that shipped with the Corvette/Z-28's cast aluminum valve covers and Rochester QuadraJet carb. Chevy also built other versions of the OMC 307 rated at 210 hp (157 kW), 215 hp (160 kW) and 225 hp (168 kW) SAE gross.

One of the biggest myths about the 307 is that all the blocks were cast with a very low nickel content. However, some 307 blocks, such as casting number 3970020 with suffix VxxxxTHA (x's in place for date), had 010 and 020 stamped under the timing chain cover indicating high tin and nickel content.

Wow... many thanks for the detailed posting http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Sounds like a very economic Engine the 307...

Maybe the Reaction of the Oil Crisis in 1973?

I love the looks of that car. I would love to buy it if I could and had the garage space. I would keep the 307 in it. I read in a Camaro book a few years ago now that the 307 came about because of Chevrolet having 283 blocks around and 327 cranks (because of the 327 block and 283 crank being used to make the 302) so put them together to make the 307. Don't know if this is true or not.

[x Baldwin Motion]

Its basically a 283 block (larger journals though) with a large journal 327 crankshaft in it and pistons with a reduced compression height. If that combo was made up because of the parts laying around from 302 assembly it wouldn't be the craziest thing I ever heard!! I'll stop short of saying "that makes sense" http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
