Purchased another 1969 Chevelle 300 Deluxe Post

[Postsedan]

Wanting to thank Tommy Mathison (69ss396) and sYc for yet another great find...sale and a new home for what is going to be a very exciting build.

Tommy is a great guy....very trusting and honest. Everything was as Tommy said it was. It`s so nice to find good honest people in this world. I plan on staying in touch with Tommy....and inviting Tommy to the very first showing / race we enter his former Chevelle.

Greg Cullum and I are going to build the next contender to compete in the Pure Stock Muscle Car Shootout....for the 2008 season.

Color of choice will be Olympic Gold.

Here are some pics of what is a true rust free Arizona car.

[camarojoe]

What's wrong with frost green? I think it would look killer in the correct color.

[Postsedan]

Joe,

I know your partial to green....I happen to own the very same Frost Green on Green Sedan....and I too like the Green...it`s just that the Olympic Gold is just a little nicer....but who knows we may change our mind at the very last minute....lord knows we have before.

Dan.

[SSJunkie68-69]

Dan just curious, looks like the car at one point was sold in Ottawa, any luck yet with GM of Canada for the docs?

Nice pick up~

[Jonesy]

That dealer tag is Omaha, not Ottawa.

[Salvatore]

Frost Green!!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif and fast! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[SSJunkie68-69]

oops, my bad http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Postsedan]

Tom,

No worries...I make lots of oops. Thanks for the correction...Mike.

Dan.

[MosportGreen66]

Nice find! What kind of drive train for the pure stock drags?

[Postsedan]

Stroked BIG Block....glide and 456`s

Dan.

[SSJunkie68-69]

Dan no problem....make sure to compensate them with many Molsons...and remember the famous words of John Molson..."An Honest Brew makes a Honest Friend."

[370454s]

Reminds me of a White 69 300 that belonged too a Guy in the B.C. Chevelle Club. White, With Poverty Caps, L-48, M-21 with 3:73 12 Bolt Posi. That car would Fly. It was a Stipper, No Carpet, No SoundDeadner, Bench Seat, No radio, Manual Steering and Brakes. Loved that Car, it was Supposedly a COPO Car. Who knows, Who cares. Badass little 69 Chevelle.
Mike

[Postsedan]

Mike,

Got any pics of that ...Badass little 69 Chevelle?

Dan.

[John]

great find....Go for the Gold http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[camarojoe]

Yeah, I guess I AM a sucker for green... light or dark. Just think it would look cool in it's original color, actually like frost green better than gold, but that's just me. Seems to me somewhere around here I may have a nice Rosen-Novak chrome dealer badge... need one?

[SS427]

Congrats Dan on a great purchase and project and to Tommy for his help. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Postsedan]

Joe,

Let me see first see how the original one looks....if it is in bad shape....I will gladly contact you.

Thanks Joe,
Dan.

Ok, if we are taking a poll, I agree, Frost Green.

[PeteLeathersac]

Kind've a Cinderella story...one lucky little 300 who's time has finally come!.

Some painted reverse/deeeep steelies w/ dog caps would look good?.

Frosty...the go-man!.

If in fact we can help I say White.

Cool car http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif Looks like you can't get enough of the 300s, Dan. Now that's an addiction http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

Does your love of 300 cars extend beyond 69s? If you're looking for something really different once you're done with this one, how about building a plain-jane 70 model? Although referred to as a 300 Deluxe in Canada only, the 13437 model was offered in 1970 and referred to as just a Chevelle or Chevelle standard. Unique door panels and seat covers, rubber carpet, stripped trim and emblems were all part of the package, similar to earlier years. Here's a link to a very low-mileage original one that was for sale a few years ago:

http://www.cuepics.com/maurice/

PM me if you'd like more info on these cars.

Now I'm going to put my wanted ad up for my rubber mat since I know you'll be on the market for one again... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[Postsedan]

Rainer,

I`m very familiar with your car and the 1970 300 Deluxe....A very cool car indeed. I`m always on the lookout for 300 Post Cars!

Dan.

[mockingbird812]

WHOOOWEEEE! That is one dry-as-a-bone automobile. Very nice http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif ! Rust free cars are soooo much nicer to work on/restore. Congrats. Considering the impending knuckle-dragger sleeper status this car will shortly attain, I vote for <font color="green"> Frost Green </font>. Your competition will never know what hit them. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Dan, I sure hope you'll treat us to a blow by blow on the resurrection of this fine post http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif !

I have been envisioning a 70 Chevelle 2 Door Post for years, but cant seem to get the idea to fruition. Olds ,Buick, Pontiac made 2 door posts thru 72. Wonder why Chevrolet did not. Sure would look Cool!!!

Me too...even thought about it again this week w/ Mike's ad for the Skylark post going cheap here..
Debody a donor Skylark or whatever, add Chevelle sheetmetal, drivetrain etc and you'd raise a few eyebrows of anyone else in the know?.
Didn't the post disappear for some of the A-bodys in '71 but come back for '72?.

I like it all but the 454 emblem.. Seems wrong to display any 454 badging on any pre '70 and who'd know what Mk1V you had anyway?.

I agree Pete.....the 300`s are meant to be sleepers....why advertise?

Dan.

[Tommy_Mathison]

First off, I would like to thank Dan for the kind words.

For those of you who do not know or have not worked with Dan, you are really missing out. I was blown away by his honesty and sincerity throughout the transaction and could not have made this sale without his assistance. Dan is a great asset to the hobby. I also would like to thank SYC for giving me an opportunity to get in touch with people like Dan. Let's just say, I can't wait to see the finished product!

[bashton]

Nice find Dan;

Since this one is as clean as it is, I figure you guys will have it done, say....around the middle of November?

Tommy,

Well here she is all painted.....Glacier Blue.

Next month we begin putting her back together....this is by far the cleanest rust free Post Sedan Greg and I have ever seen. Will be a fun project.

Enjoy.

Dan,

I just picked up a very clean 69 300 post car that I plan to do a custom on. It is glacier blue, white painted top, factory ac car. I'm going to keep it a 300 but put a little something special under the hood. I won't get to the car until later next year thoug.

Your car looks great and the photos confirmed for me that glacier blue is a great color when new.

Phil Woj.

Phil,

Welcome to the "300 Deluxe Post Club" http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

I sent you a PM.

Dan.

[markjohnson]

Lookin' great, Dan. I sold my '55 Gasser so I'll getting pretty serious with my 300 now.

[Postsedan]

Mark,

Sorry....I did not get in touch with you....there was just no time. It was a short 2 day trip....next time for sure.

By then you`ll have some time on your 300.

Dan.

[Tommy_Mathison]

Dan,

Wow! I love it! That car definitely deserved it. Can't wait to see it finished!

[Rixls6]

Dan, that is pretty nice. The Glacier blue looks like it's still wet!
I decided to buy one of these 69 post sedans. It's the 67K mile one we talked about.
I'm hoping to learn quite a bit from your experience.

Here's a couple of pics of the one I'm picking up next week.
It has the code 751 interior which is all there with nice door panels.
