1969 L78 Chevelle

[737Driver]

Anybody know anything about this car? Anybody care to give an opinion about it? Price, condition, originality, etc.
Seems, on the surface, to be fairly unmolested.

Looks like a neat car but you would probably want to go look it over....nice colors though...

[Charley Lillard]

Neat car. I want to see the interior and under the car.

I know someone that looked at the car when it was listed in the previous auction. It bid to 34,999.99 last time with a buy it now of 35K. The body has some minor damage as described, but it has had a fair amount of paint and body work. Also for a car with 13k miles the drivers seat looks worn and stretched out. Belair did you sit in this car???

That's good to know,especially after he says he just took the plastic off the seats. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

The pulley on the AIR pump looks to have a deep groove, but what about the pulleys on the power steering and alternator? Are they / should they be deep groove?

TIA

Yes Sam,they should all be Deep groove.

If you pull up 1969 Chevelle L78 and search completed items, you will find his previous auction. There are a few shots of the interior. I spoke with the seller today and one question I asked was about the condition of the frame and suspension components. He told me the original shocks are gone but that all else is there and in (this will shock you) excellent condition. I think I may fly up to see it if it's available after the auction.

Regards,

Mark

The previous Auction,that seller ended early.

Some key items missing for a 13k mile car, are orig exhaust, shocks and tires. That is not that unusual, but it takes away from the benchmark status of the car and some value.

[Seattle Sam]

That doesn't look like a 13,000 mile driver's seat! I bet it's 113,000, and driven for ten years until 1979.
