1969 Chevelle SS conv what to do with it
 

I picked this car up this week it is a very solid almost rust free 69 Chevelle 4 spd conv, that has been highly modified. It has all locks and handles removed original motor and trans missing the sfront end is a 68 all steel converted to be a tilting front end and even the seats have been changed. The positives floors, trunk, windshield frame and doors has no rust. The clutch pedals are still there nothing is really butchered other than bolt on parts. The car is a black bench seat, marina blue, 4 speed SS conv car.

Wow! What a custom! Looks like a George Barris early day custom?

Love the "Euro" Tilt front end and the center console. If you do not end up restoring it, take it to 2011 Mecum St. Charles, IL.

It is all up to what you want. All of the mods are bolt-on. I think the hardest part would be finding a date correct 396 & 4 speed. With all of the resources on this site that shouldn't be too difficult. Come to think of it, what month was it built? I may know where a correct 396 is currently. If you decide to leave it in its custom configuration, it will get attention at the shows. I also know a shop that would love to take on the project, no matter what you decide to do with it.

I belive I have a late May 272 shortblock for the car. Dan I did it again getting myself into to many projects at one time. I am debating on which to let go the gold coupe or this conv. The conv is a much easier one to do.

what is the gold coupe??????

Re: 1969 Chevelle SS conv what to do with it
 

The gold coupe is a 1969 olympic gold black vinyl top 396 325 hp auto buckets and console. It was bought from the original owner with all the paper work pop window sticker all dealer paper work. The engine and trans have never been out of the car but it does need a cmplete resto it does run and drive. I have the orinal ss wheels for it.
