'69 Chevelle SS396/4-speed, interesting car

[scuncio]

I can't say I have seen many (any?) '69 SS396 cars with the cloth interior but I like the look. The car looks pretty decent overall - and although the current seller doesn't mention it, a previous listing reveals the engine is not original....

eBay listing says the engine is not original.

Not the original status, but the level of crud and rust I was thinking should be addressed.. Blaaahh
