Default 1969 L78 Chevelle

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.

Thanx,

Mark Donnally

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

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???

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

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

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.
