1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Description

Exterior/Mods:
This 1969Chevellewas a custom frame-off restoration about 10 years ago.email me with any concerns or questions jason.loves.zombies@gmail.com
The caritselfwas acquired as a rolling body and chassis from AZ. The body was pulled off the frame, nd all body mounts/bushings were replaced. Over the next 5 years, he car underwent countless man hours into extensive restoration and custom sheet metal work.Thecar was built professionallyby RickO’dell(ofO’dellKustomsand Fabrication, n Santa Clarita, A)andmyselfas a post-high school project car.It was initially builtas a performance daily driver, nd has been garaged ever since completion, ith the exception of weekend cruises and car shows. The odometer hasonlyclockeda very low 9,700 milesthe past 5 years since completion, hich is theexactmileage. (Both motor and carmileageare synonymous) The car boasts aChevysmall block 400 (basically a reversestrokermotor), ounted to a 700-R4 overdrive transmission (to be able to cruise on the freeway for road trips), long with aGMfactory 12 boltrearend(withcustomFord 9” ends/axles)along with 3.73 gears with an aftermarketposi.I can personally say that every single inch of this car has been touchedand re-conditioned. Every single bolt, ut, asher, tc. has either been replaced with new OEM, r received some sort of re-conditioning.The overall stance and aesthetics have been described as influenced by street rod attention to details, ith the American classic muscle car feel.

***I have over $35k in receipts on hand for parts and shop work, ot including receipts I’ve lost over the years, nd the overall time invested in this project. I just dropped in a brand new Optima Red-Top battery, o you’ll also have that reliability with a 3 year warranty throughAutozone.


***All in all, his has been my pride and joy for the past 10 years…. 5 years to build, years to enjoy.However, do not have the time to finish the car, nd with priorities in my life changing, he car is ready forit’snew owner to be truly enjoyed and reveled. This car is an attention getter, head turner, nd a reliable performance custom muscle car. All this car needs is the finishing touches on interior, nd bolt on a set ofaftermarket20’s with a 305 tire out back, o give it that instant Pro-Touring aggressive stance.You could easily buy a set of OEM reproduction door panels, nd complete the interior in a weekend.If you’ve ever dreamed of having a really nice daily driver, r a solid show contender, r possibly just a weekend cruiser that you can add your personal touches to, hen this is exactly the car you need!With such extensive time, ffort, ustom metal fabrication, ngine and drivetrain.
